I am using a Scythe Fuma 2 and it averages 40-55s gaming which is great with the odd spike sometimes (Ryzen 7 3700x)

With case fans what is a good fan curve? Should it be the same as CPU fan curve?
 
Solution
it all depends on your temperatures while idling and while in heavy use.
if your CPU & GPU temperatures are remaining low then you can try reducing your existing fan curve %.

i set my case fans differently depending on their region;
front fans 35% @ 30° / 55% @ 50° / 85% @ 70°C,
bottom fan 40% @ 30° / 60% @ 50° / 85% @ 65°C,
rear fan 50% @ 30° / 65% @ 50° / 85% @ 60°C.
front & rear based on CPU temps, bottom based on GPU temps.
