single loop fan speed

[Hexram]

Hey guys

 

I am building a loop that is going to be cooling my cpu and 2 gpus.

My question is to controll fan speed should i use my cpu temp or my gpu temp or just work out a method of getting the water temp and use that?

 

Thanks.

i would just have the running at a fixed speed via voltage control from the psu.

I don't really think it matters, since they'll both be affected by the water temp.

I recommend a good fan controller. Monitor your temps and adjust accordingly. You can even add one of these to track the liquid temp http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10373/ex-tub-620/Bitspower_G_14_Temperature_Sensor_Stop_Fitting_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBWP-CT.html and adjust based on that.

I would get a thermal fitting and use that temp reading to control fan speeds with fan controller.

That is what I'm looking for.

i would advise looking at the aquaero fan controllers if you have the cash for them. They are good for creating your own custom fan curves the downside is the software is a bit annoying to get used to and they are pricey if you only plan on using the fan controller (they are capable of so much more)

Lamptron FC5v2 or FC5v3. It has 30W channels, looks great and is well built. For cheaper the Bitfenix Recon or NZXT Sentry 3.

For the Bitfenix Recon, you can do custom fan curves as well with Phoebetria (http://www.phoebetria.com/) which has more features than the stock software.
