Alright guys, as some of you know I just finished up my first custom loop. Im pretty happy with the way it came out. But I do have a couple of questions.
The motherboard has a water temp in and out monitor. Im using the In side to monitor water temps. Should I just set my radiator fans at a set point based on water temperature (I would have to manually monitor and gather data on that, as the BIOS doesnt allow me to do that) rather than having them ramp up and down with CPU temperature, as Im not sure that really matters does it? I mean, the water isnt going to be super cooled instantly all of the sudden because the fans ramped up, correct?
And lastly, the pump I have is a PWM pump, but it runs at 100% all of the time. (The water pump header on the motherboard has no control except for 100% apparently) Should I move this to another port, and if so, what is the recommended pump speed? Should I also scale that based on water temperature? So far, the hottest water temp I have personally noticed in HWinfo64 was 33*c while benchmarking.
Thanks in advance,
Rodney
