fan curves: same for intake & exhaust?

Clarifiante

interested in what other ppl are doing with regards to fan curves. do you use the same fan curve for your intake and exhaust fans? or is one more aggressive than the other?

 

would also love to see how you guys set up your curves (non-sexual).

It depends on how many fans. You can also regula te dust with positive pressure not only by the number of fans but having exaust fans slower.

 

for me I just have it the same as my cpu cooler since it's almost touching

I have 8 fans total in my case 3 on an AIO exhausting (TOP) and 5 as intakes (bottom 2, front 2, back 1). The AIO fans are always on.

 

ON IDLE/WEB BROWSING:

All of the case fans are off except one is delivering fresh air (32% or 550rpm) and 3 are exhausting (AIO Kelvin s36 @31% or 500rpm) all the air passes through dust filters so i am not concerned about dust getting in. Silence is key while idle for me.

 

GAMING/BENCHMARKING:

All fans are on but intakes spin 10% faster than the exhaust fans.

 

here are my fan curves i have setup keep in mind the "Case curve" is set to 32% on the low end which somehow makes only 1 fan spin.
