Hi there,

So I got the following setup in my case.

Now I was wondering if anyone could help me what the "best" fan curves are for these so that it is silent, but efficiently cooling.
Thanks in advance!

run the AIO fans as low as you like where they keep thermals fine, keep the rear lowish and the 2 front have moderately high if you want positive pressure

Curves are really personal thing. What are the fans on each region, can you control them individually or in groups, what are the groups.

 

Personally I've limited my GPU fan to 45% max. It runs at 25% idle. CPU fans and case fans are limited to 80%. With CPU fans running at 10% lowest and case fans (because they are 3pins) 30%. All curves are smooth ones with gradual increase.

I can control each fan individually

What case fans are you using?

Set front fans to follow GPU temp and exhausts to follow CPU temp. You need to know what is idle /low load temp for each component. Next check at what speed you want fan to run at max. Set fan to low speed when component is at low use and max to temps component would reach when under stress load. Between those limits it's up to you. I like gradual curve over stepped or logarithmic.

Using NZXT AER 140mm fans

Start the front fans speeds at as high as possible before noise becomes too noticeable. You can have them get faster depending on the rest of system temps or leave them at that speed. Have the rear and graphics card fans go to 20% or as low as possible as long as the gpu is under 60c and have them ramp up to 100% at 90c.

The h110i fans should follow the same logic but for the cpu. 

Not sure why you would want to do anything with the psu fan.
