So i've been wondering how i could see my RPM on the fans that are connected to my Fractal Design Define R4 Fan controller.

One more question, is 700 rpm for a hyper 212 Evo normal for idle/watching streams on twitch and playing WoW on like Ultra Settings cause i'm pretty sure wow is a CPU intensive game.

Fan RPM is not important, look at your actual temperatures instead. 35 ish degrees idling and about 60 under heavy load is what I'd expect.

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

Don't think you can see RPM if its hooked up to the case fan controller because its most likely voltage controlled.

My evo idles at 700~ as well.

That's all you need to know. It's a beast.

Thanks for the help! Btw is 60-68 Degrees a good temp for full load on my GPU and 50-55 Degrees for my CPU on full load?

 

PS: Running a GTX 970 Asus Strix and a I5 4690k paired with a 212 Evo.

Very good.

 

Though I'm guessing that isn't Furmark and/or AIDA64 type of full load.

If you really wanted to get creative, you could pull the tach wire from your fans hooked up to the controller, and plug it into the tach sense portion of the header on the mobo. 

 

That's probably more work/uglier than you want, though.
