CPU Cooling

[CHEESYnachoMAN4]

I have a i7-6700k at the core clock of 4.0 GHz. My cpu fan is a Coller Master Hyper 212 Led.

 

I wanted to eliminate some noise since most of my noise is coming from my CPU fan.  My CPU was at about 50-60 Celcius and it was getting a little loud. Do you recommend putting a custom fan curve or should I put it at a certain speed for it to always run at?

If so what should I put for the options?

(Look at pic for BIOS fan options)

Under which circumstances did your CPU achieve this temps?

Its idle temps are usually at 50

Well that is not very encouraging at all. Considering your cooler, I'd say you are gonna have to just cope with the noise.

you could get better fan(s), if you get something really good like noctua it should achieve better cooling with less noise, also what are the temps in the room your computer is in?

I'm not sure the temperature the room is in but it's not too hot. It's not too hot or too cold just in between

50C low load is pretty hot, even for 212. You should have something like 37-45C, closer to 40C in 20-25C room temps.

 

Like said in manual, Command Center has in this case better configuration and you should use it. Whether to use curve or one speed is up to you. Curve provides less noise when temps are low, static speed is same noise all the time. Where the tolerance point is, is up to you.

I would not recommend a fixed fan speed because then your CPU can't turn up the fan for extra cooling when needed.

 

The fan that comes with the 212 is not great for noise. If you have issues with the noise, you can try getting a different fan for the cooler or get a better cooler. I would suggest testing your load temps with different fan curves. Idle temps are pretty pointless most of the time so I tend to ignore them. The fact that it is sitting at around 50 is not alarming because I can see from your BIOS that you have the case fans at a lower speed. Setting the case fans to help bring in fresh air when needed could also help with temps a bit but add to the noise.
