Hey everyone,

I’m wondering whether it’s better to run my AIO pump at a constant speed (100%) or if I can set a fan curve to make it quieter when the system isn’t under load.

I asked GPT for a suggested pump curve, and this is what I got:

  • <40°C → 30%
  • 50°C → 50%
  • 60°C → 75%
  • >70°C → 100%
I’ve already set this curve in the BIOS—does this seem fine, or should I run the pump at a constant speed instead?

I also applied a similar fan curve to my VRM fan. Is that okay, or should I adjust it differently?

One thing I’ve noticed: when the fans are running quietly, I can hear a slight whizzing sound from the pump. Is this normal, or could it indicate an issue? Are there any ways to reduce this noise? Also every time I start up the PC, the Pump has a louder whizzing noise which immediatly goes quiet.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
 
Don't do that.

But, moving on....
What temps are you currently seeing?

In AIO systems, the pump should be run at 100%.
The fans, variable.
So multi core cinebench r23 was peak temperature 85 degrees celsius with the curve I set in bios for pump

Gaming : black ops 6 (60-70 degrees averaging)
Hogwarts legacy (55 degrees average)

Yeah but at 100 % the pump is too noisy for me, so isn't there another way?
