Question What temps are acceptable ?

[ttonks93]

I have some Phantek T30s on my AIO CPU and GPU coolers, currently i have them set to extreme mode (3000rpm), there quite loud. Just wondering if it would be beneficial to turn them down to 2000rpm to gain a little less noise.

Would the trade off significantly increase temperature? Will it shorten the life of my CPU and GPU by running slightly hotter?

computer specs please
This will give us a better understanding of your actual AIO and CPU and GPU etc

Modern CPU can run up to tdp/case without issue, according to the manufacturers. This is often 90-100*C for modern high end components. Alongside that they are going to have parameters set to downclock/undervolt if it does overheat. GPU are pretty much the same way.

The issue you run into performance wise is that if you throttle you are losing performance.
Tradeoffs include loud sound of cooling and heating up the room you are in. If you run a component at or over its maximum temps all the time, I cannot see it being good for it but also don't really have a way to quantify what damage 'does' occur as a result.

I’ve got a i9-13900k with a Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360mm cooler. GPU is a RTX5090 Supreme Liquid. Both coolers have 3 Phantek T30s fitted to them.

During gameplay i’m getting 55 degrees in my GPU and 60 degrees in my CPU. I’m basically asking could i turn down my fans a bit to gain a little bit less noise? Or should i try keep both as cool as possible?

Yes, those are very good temps so you can slow fans down as long as temps don't approach critical levels. With liquid cooling, radiator fans speed is not as critical as in air cooling.
