Fans Speed Spin According To Temp?


Friction

Recommended Posts

I just bought the H100i and it runs perfectly on my system and have the fans set on Quiet. My CPU (3770K currently at stock of 3.5GHz) is running at 40c. I want to set my fans so that when the temp of the CPU raises, the fans will spin faster to keep the CPU at the same (or close to) temp. Does anyone have a formula they use to calculate such a thing or can give me a run down on how to set it in Link?

Why would it be better to go of the water temp?

 

It can be done in Link using Custom Curve, but I need to know if there is a equation or formula that will make it easy for me to know what RPM to set the fans as the CPU temp rises.

I would do like 70C 400 rpm higher.. 80C another 200-400 rpm higher 90C another 200-400 C higher and 100-105C max fan speed... Just my opinion though

 

and wow just noticed my typo like 10 hours later...i was typing on my phone lol... i ment to say rpm not 200-400 C higher :P

Thanks. For some reason Link won't allow me to set anything higher than 70c, so I set the curve as such:

30c - 1014RPM

40c - 1414RPM

50c - 1750RPM

60c - 2075RPM

70c - 2700RPM

 

I'll see how it goes when I stress it.

the cpu rises instantly according to load,the water will initially be cool until the cpu saturates the water with heat,when the water temp rises is when the need to begin cooling with the fans occurs

^ i agree with wytnyt now if you REALLY want to make sure the cpu stays cool then ya your option works best...although the cpu can get to 75C easily even with stock at full load so dont know how loud the fans will be..although my fan has been at 100% for almost a week and its not bad...anyways i say go with water temp...as you wont get much benefit with cpu temp...
