Hi
I have a G1.Sniper 2 (F5 BIOS)mobo inside a Fractal Design Define R3 case. I use the Noctua NH-U12P SE CPU cooler with 1 fan in addition I use 1 front mounted Noctua 120 mm fan along with a the two standard fans that comes along with the fractal design case, 1 120 mm front fan and 1 120 mm rear fan. All fans are connected to the mobo.
Since I think the PC is a bit noisy, I am trying to adjust the fan speed by using the CPU SMART fan control option in the BIOS. When I choose the NORMAL mode, I have the following read out;
CPU FAN:1313 RPM
System 1: 1038 RPM
System 2: 0 RPM
System 3: 670 RPM
System 4: 1140 RPM
When I change from Normal to Silent, the values does not change and I have the same noise from the case. Am I doing anything wrong? Or does this fan control option not work?
Does anyone have better suggestions for getting the fan speed down instead of using the BIOS?
