What is a good cpu fan curve.

Fans play an important role in keeping our systems cool and running at their best. So i just built my glorious new pc and i have tried looking online for help with a curve adjusting program. Would be a good cpu fan curve but this is a case fan curve. Make sure you check the temperature sensor used for this case fan because using the cpu temperature to control case fans isn t optimal.

The fan manufacturers perform actual test to find out the static pressure value of the fan for the different air flow rates to plot the fan curve. Cases like nzxt s h series i versions have a built in link box which gives you software control over your cpu fan in much the same way as speedfan but in a more intuitive manner. Ideally you want to place an exhaust fan as close to the cpu as possible to quickly expel this hot air. We can spend hours searching.

It also adds support for rgb lighting and multiple fan. After all of this is done and you ve saved the changes open up a stressful application like a game just as a sort of test to see how your changes perform. However all i found were guidelines on how to set the curve with no mention of a program at all. Different sizes and fin designs have a big impact on fan efficiency and performance.

Next go to the fan control tab and set up a temperature curve for each fan. This fan is expelling heat directly from the cpu into the case s main airflow lane. Please note from the fan curve that as the flow rate increases the static pressure decreases means at higher flow rate the fan will be able to withstand lower system resistance or back pressure. If you want more control over your cpu fan and other aspects of your system a fan controller is a good bet.

A side mounted fan expelling or drawing in air in a direction perpendicular to the motherboard might be useful here but not all cases support that.
