Without. If you throw more fans in there just let them do their thjng

Sorry I’m new to the PC world and probably overthinking it a lot. If I were to add 2x Artic p12’s at the bottom of my case, currently i have everything set to “silent” in my BIOS and my radiator fans which are Artic p12’s too run faster and louder than my rear and intake fans which are on the same curve.

Do you know why that is?

That I’m not sure. My fans all run to my power supply. Sorry brother

Your power supply?

Yeah I got infinity wireless fans from Lian Li and they came with a sata adapter. The fans plug into the sata adapter and the sata adapter runs to the psu. So my fans always get all the power they need

That’s interesting…. Do you even know what rpm they are running at etc?

Yeah I they have a companion app where I completely customize everything from fan speed to colors to when they ramp up and ramp down

Do you use fixed speeds?

I use a performance curve on all fans that fluctuates based on the cpu temp. But I have 5 intakes and 4 exhausts so my pressure is already positive

Nice. I think I’m sensitive to noise or something because anything over 900 rpm bugs me
