Alright. So.
Fan Xpert in Asus Suite III wasn't functioning properly. It would only read the CPU fan. Now it might have had something to do with me having 8 fans inside my case. And 4 of them are connected to one header via a 4-way splitter. That must have been the issue. Well no. I went to UEFI, loaded optimized results, went back to Fan Xpert and voila, problem solved, it recognized the two on my CPU, the one in the back, the one in the bottom, and the four splitted ones (two front, two back) as one fan, which is fine, cause they are all the same anyway. Now, I have previously had everything set to manual mode in UEFI to what I figured was optimal to get the best temps at lowest noise possible.
BOY WAS I WRONG!
After fiddling about with the fans in Asus Fan Xpert, they are now quieter and by a lot and my temps have gone down. GONE DOWN. I was idling at 38c on the CPU, and now while in Chrome writing this I am at 33c. WHAT THE HECK. Now I am confused as to how fans actually work right now! It's a pretty standard push-pull config with mine, though.
- The two front ones and the bottom one are the intake.
- The two top ones and the back are the out-take.
- And I have two fans on my Hyper EVO 212. The one closer to the back is pulling the air out towards the back fan, and the one closer to the RAM is pushing it back through the fins. So generally in the same direction and out of the case as fast as possible.
Here are my questions:
1. How much do the chassis fans REALLY affect the CPU/GPU temps?
2. At how much should you keep your chassis fans while gaming?
3. At what temperature should you set your CPU fans to run at 100%?
4. Is it possible that the chassis intake fans were pumping so much air into the case, along with high CPU temps that it just got too hot, too fast in there, so that even with the out-take fans running full speed it couldn't get rid of the hot air and cool everything down enough?
5. Should you keep your intake fans a bit slower than the out-take?
6. Are (multiple) chassis fans overrated?
7. I'm so happy right now, because I almost opted out for a water cooler, just to keep everything quiet. BUT THAT AIR GOT ME HIGH RIGHT NOW. I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THAT AIR YO.
No, I mean literally, I would die...
Well I hope I get some answers, and maybe this helps someone out having issues with cooling their case or with Asus Suite's Fan Xpert III. Peace!
