NZXT H440 Rear fan is loud

[NewGUYgamer]

Hello whenever i play games like GTA V, BF4, BO3 my rear case fan gets loud and start spinning faster, it gets annoying sounding like a small light leafblower.. My other fans don't get noisy at all except for my front case fan but it is covered in the front of the case so i can't hear it at all. As i am typing this, my case fans are spinning much faster than my graphic card and h100i fans.

How do I prevent the rear fan from getting really loud when playing ?

My specs : h100i corsair

                  asus maximus vi hero

                  gtx 970 4gb

If it is plugged into your motherboard you can use speed fan to create a custom speed curve for the fan. Guide below

i think my case fans are plugged into my psu

If your fans are plugged directly to the PSU or to the fan hub at the back of the motherboard tray, then the fans are running at full speed at all times. Connect them to your motherboard to control the speed.

so your telling me when i play games, the fans go over max speed because they get even faster and louder when i play high graphic games

Then it is most likely the GPU or CPU fans (assuming latter is connected to the motherboard). Their speed is regulated automatically and when temperature rises, these fans also go faster.

okay so i tested all my fans and it is indeed the h100i cooler fans, i downloaded Corsair link and put both the fans to quiet mode, and it is almost silent both running at around 1000-1050 rpm! Is it safe to game on quiet mode?

I have a H440 and the original case fans were not that loud. It's likely the GPU fan, that was always the loudest for me, and / or the CPU fan.

In regards to whether it's safe to game in quiet mode, in my opinion, no.

 

I wasn't comfortable with the temperatures that resulted from this. However, you may have different standards of what you find comfortable with in regards to temps vs. noise.

 

I would suggest doing a small test, like the GTA V benchmark or Firestrike in 3DMark and use HWMonitor to identify your max temps of the CPU while under a gaming load.

 

Personally, I don't mind a loud PC when I'm playing games as I use headphones and these tend to block out most of the noise.

i made a new post, and i hate using headphones and havent bought one for years..i am going to just play every game and check my temperature while in-game with corsair link, current temp is 31.2 bouta go in a league match!
