I can create and swap between profiles depending on what I'm doing.

I can do all of my adjustments while in Windows, while doing something.

NZXT CAM also has a guest mode (at least for now).

NZXT CAM doesn't need admin privileges to run (I'm very weary of programs that need it).

So the solution I've settled on, as I put in my previous post, is NZXT's fan controller with NZXT CAM.

I've tried the motherboard manufacturer's fan control utility, but it doesn't work.

And I'd rather not rely on the video card warming up the rest of the system to heat up the main input so that the fans start working harder.

I would rather adjust the fans based on the temperature of that, not the CPU or the motherboard. This is not adequate for me because when gaming, which is the most common load I put on it, the hottest thing is the video card. I already mentioned that motherboards only have the CPU or the board itself as the temperature input.And even then I could just use a Y-splitter. A fan hub is pretty worthless to me because most motherboards have enough headers for the amount of fans I have.My motherboard is an ASRock B550 Steel Legend. My bottom intake and rear exhaust are based on GPU temp with a higher fan curve in place.Ĭlick to expand.So as a reference point, I have a Fractal Design Meshify C with 2x140mm fans in the front and a 1x120mm fan in the back. My latest build uses a hub for grouping my front 3x intakes to a single header that are reading my CPU temperature to keep a nice cool quiet wall of air flowing towards the top-mounted radiator and across other components. It will usually be different for every setup ĭifferent case layout, different fan models, different GPU & CPU generating more heat than average, etc.įor the passed 10 years or so i have kept separate fans with separate profiles with some blowing cooler air into my GPUs and others carrying cooler air towards/through my CPU coolers.Ī few of my latest builds have been setup with īottom & front-bottom intake fans and rear exhaust based on GPU temperature,įront-mid/top fans aimed more toward the radiator or CPU heatsink will be based on CPU temp.

I haven't tried Corsair's iCUE recently, but Corsair is the only alternative I'm aware of that has a fan controller and last I used iCUE, it required elevated privileges to run.Ĭlick to expand.if your board's BIOS only offers CPU or System as the base source you may want to look into some motherboard control software that may allow other sensors to be read and included.

Of note, NZXT CAM which you need to configure the fan controller can also run without elevated privileges.

Plus I can adjust the fan speeds while in Windows and running a load to find a sweet spot between fan noise and component temperature. I think I'd rather have my cooling based on the hottest part of the system. The GPU on the other hand will easily dissipate 3-4 times that amount. To put in perspective, the CPU dissipates maybe around 40-50W. The fan controller allows me to adjust the case fans based on the video card temperature, which during gaming I find is more important to monitor and adjust the fans for. Neither of these output enough heat in my system to be of concern. I bought an NZXT fan controller because I don't like how your only options for temperature source at the UEFI level is either the CPU or the motherboard (which I presume is the chipset).
