Hi guys,
I just decided to get into PC gaming recently, so my PC is almost completely new. I bought it pre-built, and got so hyped up that I instantly went for some sexy upgrades: the Lian Li case, Kraken cooler, lotsa fans, since it's honestly just aesthetically better looking.
I figured all my fans kinda bottlenecked at the amount of connections that my motherboard allows. First I bought 3-pin fans, and that was a bit of a nope, as it's very noisy, and in hindsight felt stupid with the amount of fans. So now I got a set of 4-pins on the way in the mail, thankfully.
Well, first off my computer is a as follows:
i5-10400F
Asus RTX 2060 OC EVO
NZXT Kraken X63
2x 140mm NZXT Aer fans
5x 120mm Arctic F12 PWM fans (this will be 6x soon)
Arctic 10-way Fan Hub
1. So my biggest curiosity is whether I can put the Kraken and its fans (intake on the hidden side of the radiator!) on the same port with a splitter? I understand that the motor and fans will run on same percentage speeds this way? I find the fans a bit noisy at 60+%, so would preferably avoid that too.
2. Then I want the case fans (all air flow going upwards btw) to just be controlled by the GPUs temps, butbutbut, if 1. isn't possible, or reasonable to do, I guess I'd have to consider how far down I can allow all my fans to go, to not compromise on CPU cooling?
3. Also I see some people saying they don't max out their fan curves to 100%, since I don't have the beefiest setup, and quite a lot of fans, I'm gonna assume that I won't need to have my fans go to 100% ever, or what's your òpinion on this?
4. Bonus question... do you think I could turn the motor to get the tubes in a different angle, without compromising the thermal paste on there, which btw is the factory stuff or is it kinda game over if I dont put new paste on there?
Thank you so much for helping me, and please tell me if it doesn't make any sense!
