My build isn’t spectacular. 5600 with tower cooler and a 4060 in a mini tower mesh case. I bought 3 Arctic P12 max 3300 rpm fans to go with it but only 2 were left in stock. It’s not a very powerful PC and I don’t think I need more fans than one central intake so GPU gets some and one rear exhaust.

How to set the case fan curve? I’m looking for positive pressure. Thing is the case fans are way faster than the 1800 rpm fans on my cooler.

CPU curve is:

0 - 50%
60 - 50%
65 - 75%
70 - 100%.

Generically stating the case doesn't' help us. It's best if you mentioned the make and model of the case as well as the make and model of the cooler, the make and model of your motherboard and it's BIOS version.

We currently know you're working with 2x Arctic P12max fans. Curious, will they be fulfilling your worder with the 3rd fan en-route?

It’s gonna be 2 fans. The case isn’t available in the US. My motherboard is a B550 board with 3 case fan headers. Cooler is an Arctic freezer 36. What are you gonna do with that info?

Size and case configuration matter. In mini/micro cases 2 fans may matter more than in larger ones. In full ATX case, 2 fans wouldn't matter much and even if you had just an intake fun it wouldn't produce any measurable positive pressure,
