Hi there! :hello:

I was wondering what the best BIOS settings were for my cooler master seidon 120v v2. I've got a gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev 5) and wanted to know what settings I needed like Smart Fan Control etc

My CPU is AMD FX-6300

I've got the cable from the CPU pump plugged into the sys_fan header and the radiator fan plugged into the cpu_fan header

Thanks

the fan's connector should go on the CPU_FAN header while the pump connector goes onto an available 3/4 pin header. In hindsight you may want to make sure your SYS_FAN is set to disabled/run at full speed within BIOS as the pump was not designed to be run off the PWM signal on the CPU fan header furthermore fluctuations in the cooler's pump rpm can and will cause it to malfunction.

You should have Cool "N" Quiet enabled though as this will help cool the CPU a little better. One more thing to do is try and undervolt your...

One more thing to do is try and undervolt your CPU and see if you can maintain your clock speeds with lower voltages, this would mean less power deliver to CPU and thus less heat dump in your system, consequently lower noise levels due to fans.
