#Corsair temp monitor install

I appreciate the reply and will reconsider using the temp sensors when I install tonight. What would be really, really cool is if Link would allow you to control fan speeds based on temperature deltas, rather than absolutes. which means it'll actually heat the coolant, rather than cooling it down. And that will likely be warmer than the coolant. well, that's going to have a negative impact on everything else. As your radiator is configured for exhaust, that's coming from inside the case. That represents the coolest that the coolant can be, which is then the coolest that the CPU can be. With liquid cooling, another factor to consider is the temperature of the air going through the radiator. If you notice, most current motherboards have additional sensors that you can use for fan control and some even have a connection for an additional sensor. But it's never been ideal for case temps. most CPUs have been air cooled and because, with motherboard fan control, that's traditionally been the best you could do. CPU temp has been the 'traditional' source for fan curves because. Now, if CPU and GPU are aircooled, they do directly affect these temperatures. When balancing your fan speeds, you need to consider the question 'What does the airflow from this fan do and what temperatures is it intended to control?' and then base your fan settings from that.Ĭase fans really manage internal case ambient temperatures. Rebalancing airflow and setting the fan curves to the appropriate temperatures resolves the issues.

Even comments that 'the side of the computer is really warm'.

Warm enough to impact radiator temperatures. the inside of the case, however, gets quite warm. We've seen folks that don't manage the internal case temperature, base fan speeds on CPU and such. Yes I have a liquid cooler for the CPU, but it is blowing air out, as such I figured that would still be a somewhat reliable source for potential fan speed. you do have preset curves for 'Quiet', 'Performance', 'Balanced'. something we've seen on these forums more than once. Furthermore, ignoring your internal case temps can often hide serious issues with your overall cooling. If you have either of these liquid cooled, then controlling your case fans based on CPU is pointless a liquid cooled CPU has no impact on internal case temps. Unless they are liquid cooled, CPU and GPU do impact these and your case fans are intended to keep the ambient internal case temperature cool. Really, internal case ambient temperature is a better source.

Otherwise, you'll have a period on startup, before Link starts, where the fans run at full speed. However, if you do connect them and base fan speeds on those temperatures, the fan curves will run without Link.
