reapercorfu Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hello there ... yesterday i got the Commander pro and installed all my corsair (3xAF140+3XAF120) fans to it ... i downloaded icue ... set the fan ports to 3 pin and the fans to quiet ... the fans rev up a lot untill i go to settings and restart icue service ... then they go quite ... if i restart my PC ill have to do the same procedure (restart icue) to have quite fans ... how can i prevent this from happening so icue will keep the quite setting of the fans every time i boot the PC ? thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English ...

c-attack Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Select a more appropriate control variable. You are probably using cpu temp and that is both a very dynamic and inappropriate one for case fan speed. There are other choices, but I can’t really recommend anything without some system information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevBiker Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It's a setting in iCue. A custom fan curve is going to be based on a temperature reading. That's your control variable ... it's the variable that controls the fan curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your control variable ... it's the variable that controls the fan curve. great answer and to add.. you want a variable that's stable.. if you watch your CPU temps you will see they will jump all over the place.. maybe your Cooler would be a better idea...

c00lkatz Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Your commander pro came with temp sensors. Definitely use them. I have a sensor tied to my CPU socket right in the vicinity of the VRMs, CPU, and a couple inches above the GPU. I use this temperature to control fans speeds, so as internal case temperatures rise (CPU/VRM under load and/or GPU under load), my exhaust fans kick up in speed and go back down to quiet speeds when idling. My intake fans are tied to coolant temp (H150i Pro). It's a small range. I also have temp sensors on my intake fans (in front of the fan) to monitor intake air temps and a sensor on my rear exhaust fan to monitor exhaust temps. I also have a temp sensor behind the motherboard tray (doesn't do much but is nice to know how hot it gets back there). This lets me see what my ambient intake temps are versus internal case temps versus the temp of the air going out of the case. Very handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-attack Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Read the post above. Those are all good suggestions. Wherever you put the temp probes, put it someplace that has a meaningful change in temperature, like above the GPU, VRM, etc. If you put in the lower front corner, it probably stays the same all the time. If you don't want to get into temperature probes, you can still pick something else from the drop down list on the Commander Pro tab that makes more sense and is more steady in its rate of change. GPU temp would work. So would coolant temp if you have a Corsair cooler. Be aware you must have iCUE open and running to use other variables, except the temp probes which work all the time.
