Choosing a tempature sensor for "case" cooling

[kayper]

I am setting up new fans in my case. Which temperature sensor should i let control my case fans? I have 2 front fans linked together (chassis fan 2) rear fan (chassis fan 1) 2 top fans (chassis fan 4) and my CPU tower cooler which is obviously stays linked to CPU temperature sensor. My source choices (temperature sensors) are CPU, VRM, Sensor 1, and Motherboard. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing that i have worded something wrong here for the lack of responses so let me try rewording. Basically what i need to know is, should the speed of my case fans be determined by the temp of my CPU, MB temp, or these 2 which i'm not sure what they are VRM, Sensor 1. These are all options in Fan Xpert 3.

Use the Cpu one as that'll keep the fans busy, dont worry about lack of response, sometimes folks dont answer just because they cba, lazy gits lol

I don't think this was not answered due to laziness as much as it was probably just not knowing what i was talking about.. lol I suppose most people use 3 pin or molex fans with a controller or let them run at full speed which actually makes no sense to me with so much great cooling software out there. Enjoy the silence. Thanks for your response Moto

I run about thirty fans on my rig so I do enjoy the silence hehe, and also the good temps my killer loop allows me to enjoy at graveyard noise levels

Yeah im with you on that one. I run 2 front 140mm (intake), 2 top 120mm(exhaust), 1 HD cage 120mm, 1 bottom 120mm (under PSU) and a rear 140mm(exhaust). my case sits around 50 degrees Celsius under load, and if not for the LED's i wouldn't even know the fans were there. Again thanks for your response 🙂

50's not bad on load, so well played there 🙂 my list is (120's unless otherwise stated)
2 front, 1 back of cpu intakes, 4x100mms on modified watercooled gfx cards 45mm on Nb and modded 120 over the cpu W/block and one exhaust, thats all thats inside the main part but theres 4 on my externally topmounted 240 rad ( I dont count psu fan as it doesnt affect pc airflow, 14 in my radbox(2x360 rads pushpull and two exhaust fans) and two on my chillerbox, one to move the air inside the box and the other is mounted on a Hs on the Upgraded Peltier in there, I think thats it lol
but when I come off a good Crysis3 session and see that none of my chips have broke 39'c I dont half grin hehe, investment repaid🙂
