Optimal Settings for Kraken x52?

[Kyle Villegas]

Hi experts,

 

So I recently upgraded my pc and installed the kraken x52 AIO cooler and I was wondering if you can give me some insight on what settings I should use to get the most out of it - Temps & longevity being the key factors as the air conditioning unit in my room is literally right next to my desk so noise isn't a factor at all. 

 

Currently I have it at the default Silent Mode in CAM where the fan speed and the pump speed get determined by the liquid temperature, but as I've tested out over the past few days of having this rig the liquid temperature never even reaches 40 degrees, the cpu highest cpu temp i've gotten while gaming is 46 degrees, and the highest gpu temp i've gotten while gaming is 57 degrees. 

 

My question would be, should I keep it as it is? I'm thinking of setting CAM to silent mode depending on the CPU temp instead as that's what the cooler is actually for. 

 

Apologies as well for multiple questions over the past few days, I'm really new to hardware stuff mostly dealt with software over the course of my life. 

 

Thanks!

Kyle

pump speed doesn't really matter, so keep it on silent mode.

fan speed on the rad corresponds to temps, so if you decide to OC and get temps that are too high for your liking, then increase fan speed.

Hi RadiatingLight,

 

Thanks for the prompt response, so its fine to keep it in silent mode determined by the liquid temp then? or should i switch it to cpu temp instead? or either way is fine?

 

Regarding the fan speed I don't really see myself OC'ing ever, so does that mean I can just keep it in silent mode as well? 

 

My last question would be are my temps normal or are they a bit high? I feel as if they're a bit high 

 

Thanks!

Depending on your CPU, those are totally normal temps.

if you don't see yourself OC'ing, you can totally just keep it on silent mode.

Cool! I'll keep it as it is then on the default, thanks man!
