So guys I built my PC. Installed some stuff and yep! Ill post pics soon. Trying to find out how to control my GPU fans.....and H100i fans.

 

[tiny voices]

You need a program like MSI afterburner for GPU fan control. BUT, you don't even need to change them a tall because they change themselves with temperature. Unless you are heavily overclocking the GPU, I would just leave the fan profile alone. The card knows what temp to keep itself at.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok. I used MSI after burner. Its at 25. Still kinda loud. Or maybe thats the H100i fans..how do i change the speed of those?

 

[tiny voices]

The h100i will just be loud. Sorry, that's how fans that move alot of air work. How do you have them connected?

The GPU should not be too loud. I would not mess with its fans at all.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok. The H100i fans are connected to the pump using the Y connector.

And Congrats on the Mod!

 

[tiny voices]

Thanks!

Do you have the Corsair h100i software downloaded and installed? Also do you have theh100i connected to the USB header in the case?

The software will monitor the CPU temps and adjust fan speed accordingly, but they will just be kind of noisy. That's a high end Closed loop cooler for you.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah i have corsair link installed and yes it does detect the h100i. Yeah, its connected. Also, in the back of the IO shield, a prong is in one of the 3.0 Ports..Ik ik i its bad but its only 1....is that ok?

 

[Mirakledba]

Nvm! I put the fans on balanced mode. Its there now.

 

[tiny voices]

The prong is fine. You won't be able to plug stuff into it but if it doesn't bother you it won't cause any damage.

The h100i should be operating properly then. It will just be loud. Sorry.

 

[Mirakledba]

I know its loud. Its ok. I set the fans to balanced. Want some pics?

 

[tiny voices]

Sure! Post some pics in the Systems Gallery.

 

[Mirakledba]

it will take time. Hold on.

 

[nukemaster]

Try to set the fans on the H100i to low or even make a custom curve. Once you find settings you like, you do not even need to run link. The pump will remember what to do.

 

[Mirakledba]

Yeah Ill make them low until I want to OC. But the GPU is what is really causing the noise.

 

[Lutfij]

That does lead me to ask, why did you get Link in the first place?

 

[Mirakledba]

So I can change the Pump LED color to red...

This might sound dumb, But where can i see my CPU temps?

 

[tiny voices]

Download a program like Coretemp or HWmonitor to see your CPU temps.

 

[Mirakledba]

According to core temp, my CPU MAX CORE temp is 29c...Min is 26,23,23,23,23

😀 Good?

THAT IS WITH THE FANS on QUITE.

 

[nukemaster]

Run some stress tests and see how hot it gets.

Again, I do not think you will NEED high fan speed unless you are going for insane clocks.

 

[Mirakledba]

What are some stress tests? Sorry, Never done this stress test and benchmarks before...downloading ungine heaven for the GPU though. Gonna OC it. (GPU)

and should I keep my fans on low for the stress tests?

 

[tiny voices]

Download prime95 and run it. See what your temps get to.

 

[Mirakledba]

Ok I will. Keep fans on low?

 

[tiny voices]

Have you ever overclocked a GPU before? It is not really as easy as doing a CPU. You should read up on it before just jumping in.

Do whatever you want with the fans. See what you can keep them at while maintaining decent temps.

 

[Mirakledba]

Its easy using MSI after burner. People with this gpu got 1240 core clock and 1750 memory...I can just slide them up to there, run a benchmark, if there are no artefacts and crashes, its safe....Or is it not that easy? Anyway, I wont OC it any time soon then.

Im downloading warthunder. A game. Can I stress test with it downloading?

 

[nukemaster]

Even at low the fans will still speed up with temperature, they just will not get to the same top speed.

As long as the temps are fine, then leave them at low, if it gets hotter than you want, try a faster speed or custom curve(this way it can still be quiet upto a certain temperature and then speed up after as needed.).

For the video card, Yeah read up for sure. If the stock performance is enough for you, I would stick with that for now.
