Quiet high performance fans

@GuiltySpark_@Dedayog@PDifolco @venomtail  what about different case that lets less noise bleed out, would that sorta solve OP's issue?

I've gone the other direction. Big open case with more importantly big, slow moving fans.

You';re also using a 7800X3D which reduces air needs even more.

 

Though that 4090 isn't cool.

what do you mean? 4090 is cool as heck

Ideally you'd just properly tune your fan curves. I don't hear my machine at all 90% of the time and its 3 feet from me. 7800x3d/4090, all air cooled in a Fractal Torrent. I don't ramp the fans up above 40% PWM until the CPU hits 85c but that only happens there is a full multicore load which I don't do often. At that point they ramp to 60% PWM. 

 

I think curves following CPU temp directly up and down is annoying as hell, and completely useless for water cooled CPU's. 

 

If you are limited to 120's (bigger is better) then just get some T30's and be done with it.

I have my case fans follow the temperature measured at the PCIe slot. I have them (they're beQuiet Silent Wings 3 RGB) sitting at around 120-240RPM at idle and at 45°C they are at around 1300RPM and at 50°C they're set to max out (1500RPM). I could go lower, but I would have to configure the points in the XML file because the UI doesn't allow me to set points in the small increments I'd need. It's pretty quiet that way and I can have the fans on my beQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 max out at 50% or 800RPM with the CPU not exceeding 85°C while drawing 170W (yes, my CPU does draw that much while gaming for some amount of time)

You type @ followed by the first few letters. No space.

Just in case, do you use Fan Control ?

It's a great fan app. It lets you do everything.

For example I have my case fans ramp up with either CPU temp, GPU temp (or HDD temp). Which ever is relevant.

Actually, no! Might give it a shot and try a GPU temp-based curve once I fix my PC (the RAM died for the 5th time and I don't know what's at fault, maybe the motherboard idk)

It is, actually. I never hear it, nor have I changed the fan curve from factory. Peaks in the high 60s.

Just to be sure you understood, Fan control let's me ramp up fans following two curves (or more) at once.

 

(never heard of Ram dying)

It happened 5 times now, every time it was the stick in slot B2 despite me replacing the motherboard (which did have a bent RAM pin due to me dropping in the CPU while installing, but it was only bent downwards, not to any side. Replaced that motherboard, bought a better board due to the long wait-time, RAM still died. Replaced CPU, RAM still died. Tried a different power supply, still died after only a week of normal use).

So I can wramp up the case fans according to the case temp primarily but then wramp them up according to GPU temp once that exceeds a certain temp or something around that?

I can't see any scenario which allows those 5 Ram sets to die. How are you sure those sticks are dead ? did you try them in another desktop ?

 

For example, you've got one system for both gpu bound software and cpu bound software.

You can set Fan Control to ramp up case fans following either cpu or gpu curves depending on which is relevant.

In the past I couldn't ramp up my case fans following gpu temps (I guess it was doable but I didn't know how)

When I swap the sticks around, it no longer posts and with only the one likely defective stick from slot B2 in a different slot, it doesn't start but it does start with only the stick that's been in slot A2, even when I put it in slot B2. I unfortunately am the only person in my household with DDR5, so I don't have anything else to test it against

Is your electricity properly grounded?
