So guys i am running a i5-4690k with Asus maximus VII Hero  with their  DIP5 software,
i need some  help/opinion for the optimum settings for fan speeds, cpu stuff etc.. you know  the basic's .

Below are some screenshots of DIP5  from what you can base your opinions on if you need any other information   tell me and i provide.

SPECS

CPU: i5-4690k

CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D15

Mobo: Maximus VII Hero

 

 

And i've got a little question for you guys  should i OC if i am satisfied with  my current (cpu speed?) didn't know what to call it so we will go with that

A lot of the changes you can make are preference based so the best answer is to play around and find settings you like. Start by finding the the speed at which you tolerate audibly for idle (usually under 1000rpm for most people) and set fan curves accordingly, bringing up the rpm to match the cooling requirements of your workload. Once you've done that you can look at your cpu overclock and power usage. Adjust voltage to a comfortable temperature but under 1.3v for safety and then bring up the multiplier as high as it will go while staying stable. The rest are basically down to what you and your use case require.

Are you Overclocking? If not then dont touch any of the settings...

Fan speed depends on your cooler

Not currently thats what i wanted to ask if there is a reason to OC now since i do not need more power.

Forgot to add that using NH-D15

Thats my problem that i have no idea at what RPM(%) to set the fans for nice cool temps

Currently what i mostly need to know is 

Idle pref temps

Low load temps

mid load temps

high load temps

so i can  configure the fan speed .

If you dont need more power, do not oc.

If you are not going to oc, leave the fan curve alone.

Dont touch ANYTHING (except set it to performance mode) if you dont Overclock.

Should i use the Fan tuning option so it tunes the fan speed ?

Currently while only running chrome,steam,skype cpu is at 35-40 isnt this high ?

For me personally I find the best way to do this is to find an idle fan speed by manually adjusting the fans until it's quiet enough to sit next to, and enough airflow to keep things realatively cool. Try 1000rpm and adjust up or down to what you want. I don't know what you're using for cooling but assuming your delta ambient temperature is 20°C your idle should be under 35°C and 100% load temp under 75°C, so if your temps are under this you can turn up the overclock or if your fans are a little loud reduce the rpm, if your temps are over this then turning down the overclock and/or increasing fan rpm will reduce it. Mid load and low load depend on what you're doing so ballpark numbers are ok.

How is this for temps was to lazy to run it longer.
