Should I put CPU fan on Silent, Standard, or Performance Mode in AsRock bios for CPU fan

[Meaning_Raptor]

I have an Asrock motherboard and an intel i5 4690k processor. I have the stock cooler that came with it. My question is, should I put the fan control on Performance mode or standard mode? I currently have it on performance mode. What is the difference between silent, standard, and performance and should I leave it on performance for lower CPU temps and best cooling?

is it too loud on performance mode? if not leave it there

No it's not too loud. I just want to know what the difference is between Standard and Performance and Silent

 

[mcnumpty23]

slower to faster fan speed--if fastest speed isnt too loud then you are good

 

[pauls3743]

Silent = slow fan speeds so it's quiet but risks a hotter processor
Standard = a good profile which will spin up the fan so it's a bit noisier but cools the processor better
Performance = Noisiest of the profiles but provides best cooling (tbh, if you're using this you should really look at a 3rd party cooler)

Performance = really let it rip and not worry about fan speed, noisiest.
Standard = middle of the road, balanced.
Silent = noise paramount, keep fan at its slowest speed, may throttle cpu down sooner to keep temp in check.

Does this affects my hash rate ?
Is it higher in Performance mode ? Or its just cooling systems
