Question NH-D15 Fan Control Help

[christonian]

I ended up ordering the NH-D15 when my H100 v2 failed on me this past weekend

What software do you use to control the fan curve?

I used to use iCue from Corsair but I cant control anything from that

Do you let it run at 100% or do you have a fan program and on a fan curve

Well i do approve of a new fan but is the fan system Bios controlled or do you have a fan controller? I just need more info.

Just plugged directly into motherboard so I would assume BIOS but was hoping for 3rd party fan software?

Under Bios there are a few options like silent, standard, performance etc but was hoping to control from Windows if possible

Then you can't do a thing to the fan because it's bios controlled

Ok I will try some different profiles and go from there

Any recommended fan controller if I go that route?

The NH-D15 fans are very quiet and you will have no problem letting them run at full speed.
I find a constant sound to be less annoying than a constantly changing fan.
The NH-D15 will also come with low noise adapters if you want even quieter operation.

Yes, the fans can be controlled by the motherboard bios options, but I would not bother.
Try running full out before you invest in something you may not need.

Thanks just was hoping to be a bit quite I think it is slightly louder then my H100v2 but now it is running as it seems 100% no speed up when under load for example, same fan speeds when idle vs gaming and streaming which is 50+% load for my CPU

Also my case is h440 from Nzxt so I might need a special fan controller?

If you want quieter, use one of the low noise adapters which come with the NH-D15.
