[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8731534, member: 591582"] Messing with my fan settings. I have my intake fans all running at 65% speed until it hits 65C, which it rarely does. Highest I usually hit is 60 or so, I have the AIO ramp up at 45C, then it REALLY ramps up at 65C. Changing the intake fans from 65% speed to 50% speed made my CPU run about 3-5C hotter. Idk I have everything set up well as far as cooling. I have some "industrial" 140mm nocturna fans coming in for a push pull....for science reasons. Yep, it's for science. 10 140mm fans in my case is definitely for science, no other reason. I want to see it if a push/pull setup will actually lower CPU temps or not, and/or if I can lower my front fans' speed where the radiator is to make it quieter. I specifically got the nocturna's because they will run more cubic feet per minute than the fractals that came with the radiator cooler. So the idea is to create more air density going into the radiator, so the radiator will have a larger mass of air running through it to exchange the heat with. Each one of those nocturna fans will run 155-160 cubic feet per minute per fan at full speed (3000 rpm lol). And the fractals will run about 105 cubic feet per minute per fan max. So the fractals will never be able to pull more air than the nocturnas pump. I have to hook the nocturnas up to the high amp fan port on my motherboard because the max draw on each is .55 amps, and the regular fan ports only support up to 1 amp. The high amp supports 3 amps of 12v current IIRC. I'm excited to see if it makes a difference or not. [/QUOTE]
