<@262629912744165377> so it's normal for the fans to be loud
Yeah, the coolant temp is 40 degrees, the weather is hot outside so yeah is normal
Plus you have set them up on extreme, of course they will be loud. If you put them to normal will be fine
spare pasture
what temps should i be worried at?
okay thanks i get very very nervous when it comes to my computer and temps
remote citrus
Over 85 degrees
remote citrus
The temps are all fine, even tho sometimes is spiking, is normal, giving the temperature outside is warm
spare pasture

remote citrus
the coolant did go over 45c when i was playing league

:tada: Congrats @spare pasture, you levelled up to 12! :tada:
spare pasture
@barren finch it went to about 45-46c
barren finch
Ahaa, all good
spare pasture
so its normal?
barren finch
Very normal
spare pasture
if i take my fans off extreme will it make a difference
remote citrus
Just put them on balance, always have them on balance
barren finch
Quiet is my preference as they will ramp up if needed
But if it's really hot balanced is good
spare pasture
okay thanks
This is what it sounds like, I do have 9 fans so many that plays into it. I dunno just seems loud
When my room is cool

More fans do not equal more noise
spare pasture
is there anything i could do to make it quieter and cooler
remote citrus
No, there is not such a thing while playing intensive games
Is normal to be a bit louder to lower the temps
Put the fans on balance and take a 20 minutes break to let the components to cool down a bit
spare pasture
RuneScape is intensive? And it is on balanced now. Been like it all day but no difference in sound

It shouldn't be too loud, are they all the same fans?
All controlled by icue?
remote citrus
RuneScape is CPU heavy game, doesn't matter if is a small game
Is still have lots of texture and stuff to load which can be heavy for CPU. Limit the FPS to 80-90 and you will see decrease in temps
Games like that doesn't require a massive lots of FPS, and I always recommend to limit the FPS
One of my things which I get judged for but is a good thing to limit your FPS. Games are more stable while they FPS are maintain at certain level
I have single players limit at 80, competitive at monitor refresh rate
spare pasture
its already limited to 50
barren finch
That sounds really loud though
Something else might be at play. Can you check in the bios if the fans are pwm or DC?
spare pasture
how do i do that sorry?
barren finch
Turn the PC off, turn it back on and spam DEL until you are met by the bios
spare pasture
and itll tell me there?
barren finch
In the bios press F7 or if you see hardware monitor click on that
Then take a photo
spare pasture
It very quiet now
barren finch
You change anything or just in the bios?
barren finch
Maybe icue is messing shit up, hm
Is it that quiet idle in windows?
Obviously a bit louder BUT shouldn't be going full blast
spare pasture
I’ve not touched anything to do with fans
barren finch
I’ve not touched anything to do with fans
Yeah
barren finch
So if it's in the bios whisper quite that noise should translate into idle (may be a little louder)
I'm thinking icue is screwing around something, maybe uninstall it and see?
spare pasture
It’s still quiet when I’m just sat in windows, but everything popped up and the fans got louder so once I closed all the apps it went quiet. It’s abit louder than in the bios but not too much
barren finch
Ok that's good
barren finch
We didn't do anything - so I'm not sure what's happened?
spare pasture
Well this is idle
barren finch
Yeah
spare pasture
I’m not playing anything. Ill open discord and RuneScape and see the difference
barren finch
I’m not playing anything. Ill open discord and RuneScape and see the difference
Sounds good.
barren finch
Yea
spare pasture
Nothing changed, it’s quiet. I’ve got discord, RuneScape and icue open. Coolant is at 33-32c
Maybe I’ve got too much booting up? The sound got quieter once I task managed things
barren finch
Was it a fluke?
barren finch
Maybe I’ve got too much booting up? The sound got quieter once I task managed th...
Yeah
Honestly, that noise sounded very abnormal
I wouldn't be surprised if it's a fluke
spare pasture
Lemme restart and show you what it sounds like when I don’t task manage things
It might be cos my room is cold now?
I’m confused even more now
spare pasture
Yeah but the noice difference is very different
barren finch
Yeah.
spare pasture
spare pasture
for me its way quieter than before
barren finch
That's good
Right open up icue
Then go to the fan curves or whatever and take a screenshot
barren finch
Nah where you set it to quiet etc
barren finch
All seems okay
spare pasture
maybe it was just stuck
