[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8775379, member: 591582"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="34646"]34646[/ATTACH] Been nerding out on my fans. I'm really bad about opening up my fan control and playing with fans for like an hour without realizing it. When you have 10x 140mm fans in a huge case, how you change which ones go faster changes where the heat shifts forwards and backwards inside of the case, whether it drags over the GPU or escapes more out of the front-top exhaust fans. Where my PC is now, it's in a lower-airflow space around the PC itself, but now I can't hear the fans, so I'm adjusting the fans to run more based on actual temps, instead of just consistent fan speeds. Having fans revving up all of the time if the PC is right next to you is more annoying that just having the fans run on basically medium-to high speeds all the time. I've noticed that timing certain fans with each other with the different temps helps sort of shift air around, and it seems to work better cooling when the fans are actively changing speeds based on specific computer part temps. Really the only thing I'm basing all my fans on are the GPU hot spot and the CPU tdie readings. Both of those will basically tell you the heat on everything else. When the GPU gets warmer, the entire motherboard does. What you don't see on this graph is my 3 GPU fans; those are controlled via radeon's own software. I keep those spinning very low, basically as low as they can spin. [/QUOTE]
