![]() ![]() It is unlikely you would get into a situation with no coolant rise but high motherboard current, but something to be aware of when manipulating the top fans. The only thing to be partially mindful of is the top radiator fans are also serving as cooling for the the VRM, RAM, and motherboard capacitors in that same area. However, this is certainly user discretion and you are the only one in the room with it. Also, depending on your hardware, taking the fan noise out of the mix may reveal other less desirable noises underneath. There is a definite difference between slight airflow and none. I am not an advocate of the zero fan model since it puts you at a thermal deficit or penalty compared to keeping the fans at a nominal low speed. I really like the way you can get this kind of granular control with iCue and a Commander Pro and have a near-silent computer most of the time, yet automatically having the fans ramp up (based on case temp and AIO coolant temp rather than CPU temp).Īm I just over complicating things or do any of you do this? Start gaming and all my fans eventually cut in and expel the air from the RTX 2060. If I start to do a bit more or the weather picks up then I get one front intake and one rear fan spinning at about 600 rpm. My other two intake fans at the front are set to cut in at a case temp of 32 degrees C.īasically, the AIO fans tend to spin at 600 RPM most of the time (except at night when they turn off)Īll my other fans tend to be off whenever I'm just doing web browsing, email, word processing etc. My central front intake fan and my rear exhaust fan cut in at a case temperature of 30 degrees C. My H115i fans cut in when the H115i liquid temps reach 29 degrees CĪll my other case fans are controlled via a temp probe that is near my rear fan and is controlled by the Corsair Commander Pro. My kit is Core i7-8700 and an Nvidia RTX 2060 (open air-cooled) on Asus Prime 370 PII My case is a Corsair Obsidian 500D with 3x 120mm (ML120) intake fans on the front, 1xML120 rear fan and 2xML140s on my H115i liquid cooler on the top. My main aim is to get the best possible combination of low noise and optimum cooling. OK, so I am trying to get iCue to control my case and AIO fans in the best possible way and am looking for feedback/advice.
