What fan speed should my PC run at?

[Tweed]

I have bequiet! silentwings 3 PWM high-speed fans and recently downloaded speedfan (recommended by Jayztwocents). I was wondering what % or at what rpm should my fans be at?

Another way to interpret is maybe what temps are really good for gaming/idle that way I can mess around with speedfans to get the temps at "this" fan speed.

I heard something about MSI afterburner but not too familiar with it. To my knowledge it is able to have the fans run at certain temps?

Speedfan is good for case fans, last I checked MSI afterburner is for the GPU fans not CPU/chassis fans

I dunno about you, but if I ever need to turn fans up I do it on the GPU (hottest/most power hungry component in the system, most of the time) as cranking up case fans doesn't really help too much but turning up GPU fans works better for me.

If your components are in safe limits I don't see a point in turning it up.
