H80i: both fans need to be at same RPM?


overanalytical

Recommended Posts

I am controlling them separately on MB. Can I set up different fan curves, e.g. keep one running at constant speed, and the other ramp up and down as needed? I'm experimenting and wondered if they need to be roughly in sync or not as it relates to proper air flow through the radiator.

Yes, they do need to be running the same. Otherwise you create turbulence from one fan spinning faster than the other. This would actually cause higher than normal temps.

 

Best way to do it is hook both fans to a splitter and let them run the same.
