How to create ideal custom fan curve?
Yes, it's a twin fan cooler that was installed on the GPU when purchased, with some 120mm intake and exhaust fans on the chassis.- _Nick_

How to create ideal custom fan curve?
Hi all. Currently trying to create a custom fan curve in MSI Afterburner for my GTX 1060 (6GB). I have previously been using a high fan setting to prevent risk of card damage, but as a result I rarely let the temp go beyond 70c. Now I want to reconfigure, and exchange higher temps for quieter...- _Nick_

Solved PWM Fans at 0RPM/0V?
Thank you very much for the response. I found out that both of my case fans were set to DC and not PWM, so I set them to PWM and now it's nice and quiet. They were both running at about 1200RPM but now are less than half, increasing with CPU temp for when I game. You've been very helpful.- _Nick_

Solved PWM Fans at 0RPM/0V?
Hi all. Quick question: I'm running an Asus Prime B250M-Plus with 2 Akasa Piranha 120mm case fans on it and a CPU fan (Pure Wings 2) on my heatsink. When gaming, the RPM control is great for keeping temps down and I have seen massive improvement in my temperatures. However when idle, the fans...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
Jeez, that's a lot of computers. Cheers for the help, I'll get to work on installing 1 intake and 1 exhaust, and then based on the results I'll be back to see if there's some room for improvement. I always thought more fans = better cooling, but the proof is in the pudding, it seems. Time to go...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
Already have a Be Quiet! Pure Rock BK009 using a static pressure Pure Wings 2 to vent the air through it, so the heatsink is no worry. I just need the fans to ensure optimal conditions and a constant supply of cool air because I want the build to last a few years and ventilation might be a...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
Yep that's exactly what I had in mind. Just not sure what to do about what I assume is the optical drive slot at the top front of the case (the one with vertical grills). I imagine I can remove them somehow, but I'd need the top one there for the mounting hole for the fan. Would that be too much...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
No, I'm not putting anything on the sides because the removable panel is glass so I can see in. The honeycomb mesh is on the top of the rear end just behind where my CPU radiator is, and it's also on the top of the case right above that radiator, and on the front. The mesh covers the height of 2...- _Nick_

Unless anyone has any suggestions against static pressure fans (considering they're all going in front of honeycomb grill mesh) I do.- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
Buying 4 static pressure fans (max of 3.04 mm H2O with 79.13 CFM) and some PWM Y splitters to run from the motherboard. Contacted the manufacturer and the power draw is about 1.56W so DOUGIE was right in saying that the power draw will be minimal enough for me to run exhausts and intake all from...- _Nick_

Solved Regarding Win10 OEM & Retail keys
Since this thread started, I've done a fresh install of Win 10 Pro on my SSD and reallocated the entire HDD for storage. Windows is yet to be activated though because the code I was sold was an MSDN that got used in excess of it's limit, so I messaged the retailer for a replacement. However, at...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
My main worry over this arises from what I've previously heard about PWM ports. I assume it runs at 12V with a +5V pin (the +5V pin was listed in the manual but the actual voltage or amperage was not) and so I was unsure how to connect a series of PWM fans together off of the motherboard, and...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
Find attached the PDF from the manufacturer regarding the ports, chassis fan header in particular. I've not experienced a 4 pin PWM port like that before, so am I correct in understanding that the 2nd pin from the right should be a 12V supply, and the +5V on the far left is for PWM signal? And...- _Nick_

Solved 120mm Case Fan Installation (SP vs. AF)?
This is quite possibly the silliest and most embarrassing issue I've had crop up yet with my build, but I feel it necessary to rectify sooner rather than later, and am here for some expert input on case fan installation. My current build has been working a treat so far, despite a few road bumps...- _Nick_
