yes, buy a fan controller.

 

but, make sure it's the fans, cuz sometimes it could be the pump.

Cant I control it myself, its a bit loud as a new system, my other one didnt even fan proper fans :D

I will get used to it, was just curious. Also, what software you recommend to monitor temps on GPU and all that?

Intel XTU, HWmonitor

 

if your fans plugged into the mobo you can try the bios

So, the H105 cant be manually switched into like "Quiet" mode or anything like that? Apparently it can be?

You could use a fan control software or your bios on the mobo to slow the fan speed down through the fan controller. That's pretty much it though.

Plug the fans into a fan header on the motherboard that you can set up a fan curve or profile for.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

If you could sorta guide me through I would appriciate it perhaps. New to these things and want to try to. Also, how can I check if its already perhaps pre-done onto the headers? I have quite a lot of accessories, so please do tell me if you have the time.

Alright. On your motherboard you'll see various fan headers. They'll either have three or four pins, and will have sys_fan or cha_fan or chassis_fan or something similar silkscreened next to them. You should be able to plug one of your fans into them. By default, these fan headers will usually run at relatively high speed, so if you can you want to set them to go slower. You can do this by looking what header the fan is attached to, going in the BIOS and setting the desired fan profile. Where to find this option will depend on your motherboard manufacturer, but usually it'll either be a vague description going from silent over standard to performance, a temperature the fan should try to maintain, or a full blown fan curve you can adjust yourself.

Bash F8 during boot to get into ASRock UEFI, right? I got the Extreme 4. From there on I can take it and do it myself more than likely. Can I adjust the fans on the H105 from there if they are connected or just case fans?

It's F2 on my FM2+ ASRock board. I think you'll find your fan settings under the 'tools' tab. You'll be able to control the H105's fans from there as if they were case fans if they are connected to case fan headers, yes.

Yea, I got into it. I set CPU fans to silent mode, prob a bit better but I need to get used to the pump sounds and all that :D

I'm not quite sure but I think you may be able to plug the pump into a fan header as well and slow it down too. Not sure tho.

Went in BIOS and at CPU Fan 1 + 2 settings, I set it to Silent Mode. Now, it sounds a lot more acceptable! :D

With this, it still does the same job, only on lower RPM, right?

My H105 was pretty, well loud to say the least, so from Standard Mode, in the ASRock BIOS, I changed CPU Fan 1+2 into Silent Mode. Does this do the same job, only at lower RPM, or will I notice anything?

Your temperatures should go up because the lower fan speed means air isn't moving over the radiator as quickly.

 

However, if your temps are still safe under full load then it's fine.

Hey guys!

At a lower RPM you may get higher temps.

 

Depending on how well everything works--It could very well be that at 50% and at 100% the same flow occurs. But more than likely, temps will be higher.

At Idle, I still get around the ~25 celsius in all cores with the 4790K, just like on the bigger RPM. I dont OC, nor use that heavy CPU intensive stuff just yet, so it should not overheat with that cooler on it lol

Idle doesn't matter. See what your load temps are. So long as you stay below 80ºc you can lower speeds as much as you want. 

 

But, you should easily be able to run it at lower speeds.

I'll go into Titanfall then, gonna report in a sec!

UPDATE:

OK, so after a MP match, max temps according were 48, didnt even get near 50 :P Good nuff and its nice and silent too.
