Hi!
Im trying to optimize the cooling on my rig. I want near audible fans when idle (should be easy enough to achieve). Aswell as making sure the cooling is sufficient when gaming or work making the computer heat up.
This is the rig: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tHfKm8
I have installed the motherboard control software: Gigabyte APP Center with SIV and Smart Fan 5.
Also I have installed the CAM software from NZXT for my AIO Kraken x62.
Currently I think I have got a pretty optimal settings in CAM.
This is what is set in CAM software:
This is idle readings from those settings:
Remember the CPU temp are showing 20 C more than it actually is. Also CPU fans are set by a manual set line, due to the program showing a higher temperature than it really is, the preset settings make the fans run too fast.
The problem I have is with setting up the case fans for optimal cooling. The case fans consist of 3 x 140 mm fans. I have one in the upper rear as exhaust, and the other 2 in front as intake. The 280 mm radiator with fans are in pull at the top as exhaust.
I want the case fans to be near audible when idle, surfing ect. But they are to speed ut when the temperature on the components in the case rises, to cool it down. How do I achieve this?
Now in SIV Smart Fan 5 the CPU settings won't do anything on the CPU cooler due to having AIO and the NZXT CAM program to do that. But I have the 3 case fans connected to an connector on the motherboard for each of them.
This is how it looks in SIV:
As you can see, I can set up where the fans are located in the case to make it easier for myself, but also, more importantly for cooling, pick a temperature sensor in which the actual fan are set to.
I read that I should set all case fans to be controlled from the readings of the VRM MOS, as on this sensor the temperature rises evenly, 1 by 1 degree. I have also noticed this when performing a stress test, whereas the other sensors eighter dont change, or just changes a few degrees. This means if I chose one of these sensors, it would not represent the actual increase of heat, as they dont feel the increase on the CPU nor the GPU.
This is the overview of all the fans by their connectors:
System 1 is the rear fan, System 2 is the upper front intake fan, system 3 pump is the lower front intake fan.
What do the BIOS Speed fan 5 settings do, should I even do anything with my fans in BIOS, or just have it set to default settings and only use the software in windows to alter fan settings?
