[SOLVED] New rig cyberpower

[Brian-6111]

Hi everybody
Just got a new rig from cyber power its a Cooler Master H500 ARGB Edition Mid-Tower Gaming Case
and the top fan at the back is very loud and fast its a MSI MPG X570 Gaming Edge WIFI: motherboard
there was no software installed (had to do it all my self)any way getting to the point is there a way to silance the fans
with the the dragon center software that comes with the motherboard

It depends on the fan and how they hooked it up.
If its a 3 or 4 wire fan that connects directly to the motherboard then yes you should be able to control it with software of bios fan management.
If it's 2 wire OR connects to the PSU then it will always run at max speed.

I tried the dragon center software to put the fan speed down.. didn't work..hav not tried the bios tho I'll give it a go

check if does the fans 3 pins could be set as dc and 4 pins could use pwm in bios .

Hi yhea I went into bios and the pump fan was trough the roof really high rpm..there was a smart fan control clicked it and victory

Glad you found it.

The pump itself should be turned up.

Your pump is SUPPOSED to be run at 100% RPM. The fans, those should be controlled (On systems where there isn't independent software controls anyhow) directly via the CPU thermal sensor, much as you would for any cooler type, but the pump itself is always supposed to run at full speed for every AIO I've ever seen or known of.

Otherwise, you're going to experience a LOT more fan operation than you normally would AND probably also a much higher sustained thermal saturation of the loop under all circumstances.

 

[Zerk2012]

Not sure actually what your saying when you say pump fan so I might not of worded that right.
As from the above post your pump should be full speed and the rad fans should be controlled by the CPU temp.

The rest of the fans I guess you can set as you wish for your sound tolerance as long as your temps are in a safe range.

EDIT If your fans are to loud when their running at the speed needed to properly cool the PC parts look into buying better quality fans or just put up with it.

More likely than not, knowing CyberpowerPC, this system came with an AIO that was not adequately large enough for the needs of the CPU. It would not be a first nor surprising in the least.

Your pump is SUPPOSED to be run at 100% RPM.

I've had people here lambaste me for saying exactly that.

"Prove it!!! Because blah de blah it isn't!!"

So, it's really not "mandatory" that you run it at 100%, unless of course you are experiencing thermal issues and then there is ZERO reason why you would NOT want to run it at 100%. There is a clear benefit to doing so, to the tune of probably as much as 4°C, which might be a lot in some cases. If you do not have any thermal issues and have enough thermal headroom to do so, you CAN run the AIO pump down lower, at say 80% speed, which could significantly reduce your pump noise while not really making a huge impact on overall temperatures, but again, it will have SOME impact, so one should be aware that you are taking some performance off the table ANY time you reduce pump speed.

Running a variable pump speed is what I would not recommend doing at all. Running a static pump speed of say 80%, 90% or 100%, depending on where you are at in terms of being compliant with your thermal specifications, is probably the best idea.

People ought to know ahead of time though that if you are buying into an AIO you are buying into an aesthetic, rather than believing that you are buying into a cooling option that is intended to be quieter than a high end air cooler, because it's not going to be. That's not the point of going with an AIO. If noise is your biggest concern, then water cooling is probably not the very best option in your case. IMO anyhow.

Ok I see what some of you guys are saying but got a cyber power rig for my dad last year and the offending fan was definitely not on full blast and havint had any problems

 

[sizzling]

For running the AIO pump at full speed or not I will just add that my Corsair has 3 modes in the iCue software. Silent, Balanced and High Performance. I can’t remember the exact numbers and cannot look up at the moment but in silent and balanced modes the pump rpm is approximately 50% of high performance. As Darkbreeze said it is a static rpm though. Point being some manufacturers offer configuration of different pump rpm’s by default.

 

[Brian-6111]

And I'm not talking about the CPU fan it's the 120mm fan at the top of the case

 

[Brian-6111]

I maybe talking out of my hole😀😀 which I probably am but in the bios it has four fans the two 200mn system fans at the front the CPU fan and then the pump fan at the top back of rig

There is no such thing as a "pump fan", like Zerk already said. Does not exist.

IF your pump is connected directly to one of the fan headers on the motherboard, such as the CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, a dedicated waterpump header or any other header on the motherboard that offers BIOS control for that header, then it will show up as that in the BIOS. Whatever fan header something is connected to is what it will show up as in the BIOS and if there is a fan, and this is not uncommon in a lot of cheap or shoddy prebuilt systems, and Cyberpower is guilty of doing it FOR SURE, that is not connected to ANY motherboard fan header but is only connected to a molex connector attached directly to one of the cables coming from the power supply, then there will not be any way to control the fan speed on that fan.

Trying to control fans with "dragon center" or any other desktop software, is not how it should be done, or at least not the way that anybody who really knows what they are doing would recommend. You need to figure out WHICH fan header, if any, that the fan in question is attached to on the motherboard and then go into the bios and change either the fan curve or the thermal source it uses to monitor for making changes (CPU, motherboard, VRM, GPU, etc.) or both and adjust them accordingly.

If the fan is NOT connected to any motherboard headers, then you have a different problem altogether.
