Fan Control Hardware or Software

[Guest]

Should fan control be either under a software control or hardware control? By hardware I mean like physically being able to control the fan speed with a switch system.

Depends on the amount of fans, availability of bays, other software (Corsair Link for example) and such. I'd personally prefer hardware control as its faster to change manually, but you can set up curves in software. Saying that, a lot of software is kind of crappy, with the good ones requiring a splitter like NZXT Grid+

I prefer to use speedfan       http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php     It requires a decent amount of setup depending on your motherboard but this should help at least get you started if your interested    

 

I prefer software control because it does not require user input and will maintain low temps while staying quiet when you dont need to cooling power (if you configure your fan curves that way).  I have a fan controller built in to my case and I never use
