[SOLVED] What RPM Speed is recommended for my Pump Fan?

[J3nga]

I've just finished my new PC build, and it's my 1st time using Water cooling aswell.

I'm using a Cooler Master MasterLiquid 120 to cool my Intel Core i7-9700K CPU, and I am wondering what RPM speed is recommended for the Pump Fan. At default it was at around 750RPM, then I went to 1250RPM an hour ago and started to question if going for higher RPM speeds are good or bad for the rest of the computer.

I don't know that much about cooler masters but on my 3 corsair coolers i run the pumps at performance level which is 2700 to 2950 rpm all the time.

More water moving faster through the pump head/heatsink carries more heat away faster, in turn keeping the temp lower from heat build up.

So should I just go for 100% then? When I checked the Fan Tune to the Pump, it looked like the temperature got higher with higher RPM.

Well on my corsairs i can control pan and fan speeds independently.
Can you do that?

Heres my corsair h110i on my 2600x
Don't pay attention to my package temp as corsair still hasn't fixed the temp offset.

You may need some more fan speed

Yes I can. Right now the 3 SYS fans on my case are all at only 1200rpm, but I can make them go faster.

So what is controlling the fans on the radiator.

O my bad. I think I made you misread the situation. It was the CPU Fan I was talking about, not the radiator fan.

Nethertheless, I control it from my Profile on Dragon Center

I can control all 3 SYS fans, the CPU fan, aswell as the Pump Fan

You may need some more fan speed on the (rad fans.) If you are still too warm for your liking.
I leave my pump speed at max all the time and use rad fan speed to control temps for what ever is going on ambient room temp wise and what i happen to be doing on the system at the time : stress testing/ max
Gaming /max
Browsing balanced to performance (depends on ambient)
I will put up with more noise from my coolers as long as they are doing what they are suppose to

I see. For the moment the temperatures for pretty much all my components are hovering between 20-30 Celcius on normal, and 35-50 when Ingame
So I think overrall there's no need for me to buff the RPM's

The cooler master is only going to cool the cpu.
The rest of your components will depend on the ambient room temp and your airflow in your case.
