Posted January 24, 2023 Hello everyone! My chassis fan 1 minimum duty cycle is at 60% while chassis fan 2 is 20. I would like to make my pc quieter by creating a new fan curve but I can't go under 60%. I have tried optimizing all and that didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 24, 2023 What is chassis fan one pluggen into on your motherboard, because it looks like you are plugged into a pump header. A pump header should always run, thats probably why it you cant adjust the case fan to any lower than 60%. Check inside you pc to check where stuff is the fan is plugged in to, and switch it to a fan header instead.

Posted January 24, 2023 Author I made sure that the fans are plugged into chassis fan 1 and 2. i have fan extensions maybe this is the problem but i doubt it because the fan speeds are controlled by voltage if i am right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 24, 2023 What fans are you running? and what motherboard do you have?

For you to do that, they MUST be 4-pin fans. 3-pin fans can only control the speed with DC voltage control.

Posted January 24, 2023 Author i am running a total of 6 fans. 5 of them are arctic P14 and one is some deepcool thing. I have an asus prime B550 plus motherboard. With my last pc i used the exact same fans and fan extensions and i could control the fan speed from the bios. The last motherboard was an asus Prime b250m-a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 24, 2023 If you went into Q-fan and calibrated the fans and you still cant put it below 60% then it may be that the fan wont allow any lower. In that case you need low noise adapter.

Posted January 24, 2023 Just now, Snaip said: got it. i was thinking anout a afn hub with pwm control maybe? If the fan refuse to go lower than I don't think a fan hub will make a difference. Unless you are out of fan headers and have to use a pump header and cant set it to run fan properly. A low noise adapter will, given that the fan actually will spin at less than 60%. However I suspect that it just isn't calibrated. I think 60% is the default setting for uncalibrated fans so that all fans will spin without having to go to BIOS first.

Posted January 24, 2023 Author I switched to DC and got the pc to be quite a bit quieter. Thanks everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 24, 2023 Yea if they are 3 pin, you need to use DC. Cant use a hub with them either. At least none of them I've ever used.
