Case Fans Temperature Sensor

[Nocmj1]

Hi everyone,

 

I've got a question about cooling in my build - specifically setting up my chassis fan curves.

 

For reference, here is my cooling setup in the Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic (not very original, I know!)

I have attached my 6 Arctic P12 PWM intake fans to a single SATA-powered hub, attached to one motherboard header. I am setting up fan curves in the BIOS and I am wondering which temperature sensor to use. My BIOS gives me two options - CPU or Motherboard:

 

 

So far, I've left it on the CPU sensor. However, since my intake fans are there to provide fresh air for the GPU and the motherboard and - I'm assuming - the AIO takes care of CPU cooling, I am wondering whether I should use the motherboard temperature sensors to control my case fans.

 

What do you think?

Mobo sensors are inaccurate and will change slower than CPU header. Your mobo doesn't really need active cooling, so its better just leave it to CPU and adjust curves in a way which benefits GPU the most.

(I'm biased, I'm the dev)

You'll get much better sensor choice, you can take the highest value, average and much more.
