Hello,

I'm using the Coolermaster hyper 212x and until now i had it at default speed.

I opened my BIOS and changed the cpu fan speed percentage at 68% at 50 Degrees celcisus because with the default it was getting to 56 degrees Celsius.Now i'm getting 51 degrees Celsius(all at full load)

My question is:Is that percentage okay(68%) and at which speed percentage i could put my fan for max efficiency(besides 100%)

If anyone is using hyper 212x please tell me what are the speeds that you run!


Thank you!
 
Solution
Cooler fan speed is a trade off between cooling and noise.
Everyone will be different.
A cpu running at 70c. under load is not bad.
It takes 100c to throttle an intel cpu.
less for amd.
