And then, in addition to diameter and volume, you should also look at the maximum speed for fans – as a recommendation, I would consider anything up to about 1,500 RMP – higher speeds are usually too loud. How “good” a fan is can usually be found on the manufacturer’s page, you have to search for the value in db(A) here – and here on Igor’s Lab there are meanwhile many well-made fan tests from the writing colleagues.Ĭaution: small differences in dB(A) values sometimes already correspond to large audible differences (if a noise measured 10 dB(A) more than another noise, it is already perceived as twice as loud). In addition, all fans generate a speed-dependent noise in their E-motors as well as due to the given rotor geometry, better/more expensive fans are usually quieter. In this case, the larger the diameter of the fan, the better! The reason is that the larger fans can move more air with less noise. In terms of sizes, 120mm and 140mm are the usual diameters – in good housings, you can decide for yourself what to install.
There is a seemingly endless number of models for PC fans. General ventilation concept of the housing, type of cooling, fan types This is exactly what I will show you as a symbolic overview before we go deeper into the matter: Makes me miss my old rig where Aquacomputer took care of everything, fan and pump curves, rgb, temp and flow alarms even power control.However, I have to mention one small thing quickly, because I’ve always read about different fan curves, sometimes linear, sometimes progressive or degressive, rarely sometimes with a plateau, but until now it wasn’t clear to me what makes the most sense. Suffice to say while I do hold responsibility for everything that came later the chain wouldn't have started without Armory Crate being awful, and I am never going to install that trash again.
Luckily I have most installs on other drives, unluckily while command line formatting my boot drive I accidentally targeted one of my other drives that happened to be the same size and erased that instead, luckily I have a full install of windows with recovery software on a external drive so am now 2 hours in to a 6 hour recovery on my accident, unluckily recovery isn't good on SSDs so my original C drive data is still lost. In pulling my fan cables from the ROG controller so as to connect them directly to the various motherboard headers, while I wait for an Aquacomputer aquerio and fan board, I some how disturbed my firecuda mvne enough that it threw a critical process fail and I now get to format and reinstall windows.
