CuentaPri88 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 From the version (3.3.103) of iCue, up to the current version (3.5.111) the ML140 Pro RGB fans rotate around 1200 RPM while the Commander Pro is in quiet mode. In the version (3.2.87) of iCue this worked perfectly: Quiet: around 650 RPM. Balanced: around 950 RPM. Extreme: around 1200 RPM.

c-attack Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 There was definitely something weird with the Quiet fan curve in 3.4.xx. In 3.5.11, Quiet makes my HD140 run at about 50% with cores in the 29-31C range. Since we can't see the control points for these curves, it is something of a mystery. We do know they are linked to CPU temp and that is not always the most satisfying or effective control variable on the rather dynamic recent Intel CPUs. I think the majority of people are better off making their own fan curves so they can set to their specifications. It is impossible to make one set of control points for all environments and you may have a 10C swing between Summer and Winter. Even if you don't have a better control source available, at least you can really mute the fan response in the 30-45C range and that should quiet things at idle.

Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted July 20, 2018 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 20, 2018 I can shed some light. I checked with our devs and "Quiet" will only stay on quiet mode until 40C. Once a temperature has exceeded that, the speed of the fans will ramp up to compensate for the increased temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
