So I currently have the following system:
evga 280 clc with 2 Noctua NF A14 ippc 3000 fans.
Another same Noctua fan on top panel for exhaust.
One 120mm stock fan on rear exhaust.
i7 8700k and msi z370 A-pro motherboard.
I find it strange that when I cranked the three Noctua fans up to their maximum, the reported rpm's for all three of them are consistently in the 2500 rpm. (I already have each fans connected to a different fan headers on the mobo to make sure the rpm is from each separate fan)
Forget about noise level, I didn't expect that the Noctua fans' max speed could fluctuate down that much? Given that their theoretical max speed is 3000 (for the industrial ippc3000 version which I bought), I thought in the worst case scenarios they would only dip down like 2700 or 2800. But 2500 rpm really?
Did I just lose the silicon lottery and have 3 bad Noctua fans or is there some limit in my mobo?
Thanks for your input.
