not enough 4pin case fan headers

Just now, paddy-stone said:

Here's what mine is like 

 

25% at 30C or below

40% at 45C

60% at 60C

80% at 75C - which is max IIRC

 

But just play with them and see if you like it that way, and if it keeps your PC components cool enough.

bet, and if the fan zoom really is a problem ill just ditch them and get a new 5 pair of noctuas or something

For Ryzen CPUs you may want to set the lower amount higher, so that you don't hear the fans spinning up and down all the time. So like 

 

40% at 40C or 45C

60% at 50C

75% at 60C

 

and so on... it'll depend a lot on what you do with the pc too, so if for example it's mostly idle like my main pc as I don't game, then a lower bottom amount is OK. If you game mostly, then you may want to set the values higher as the components are likely to be hotter most of the time.

Please quote my post, or put @paddy-stone if you want me to respond to you.

oooooooooh wait you can set the percentage depending on how much C your cpu is? thats very handy, okay okay.

 

well yeah i game lots but i also use it in my studio for recordings but when i'm recording i do not have any heavy programs on so i think i the fans are low enough rpm then to not have a zoom while recording

Yep, that's what the fan curve does/is - it's much better than setting a static %/rpm for versatility.
