I can't confirm that all headers can unless I connect another DC fan to test the remaining 4. I don't want be unhelpful, but it's a bit of a pain to disconnect certain headers after arduous time spent in building my first PC :oops:. Except for my case exhaust and maybe PSU, all my fans are PWM. Luc...

...AsRock has very good bios fan control but you need to chose careful the fans as not all headers can control voltage control or pwm like Asus or MSI... Abula, I got you, but I still have a doubt (as I posted on another thread). Even if you can not MANUALLY switch between PWM and DC in Chafan1 and...

(...) but MSI has an advantage, all headers (as ASUS) are switchable on the BIOS from PWM to Voltage control, AsRock only has 2 headers that are switchable, in my mobo is the CPU_FAN2/Pump_FAN and the CHA_FAN3, all others are only PWM, so atm my first recommendation to all people that are building ...

I have a question though. Do I need a Case Fan Y Cable? My wife and I have a debate on whether or not we can use the CPU optional input to control the last case fan. Using the Asus CPU_OPT PWM header to synch exhaust fan(s) with the CPU cooler fan is standard practice among my gaming family members...

I found this too: German: "Eine Kritik auf hohem Niveau gibt es aber doch: Der Lüfter des Mugen 5 arbeitet zwar leise, kann in sehr ruhiger Umgebung aber aufgrund von Lagergeräuschen wahrgenommen werden – auch mit Minimaldrehzahl." English (Google Translator): "However, there is a criticism on a hig...

The Googlish translation of the comment about the Mugen 5 is "Although the Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. B is equipped with a 140-millimeter fan, the fan brackets are designed for fans with a pitch of 105 millimeters, the standard format for fans with 120 millimeters of frame width, so the Macho al...

ComputerBase did not like that fan (Kaze Flex 120 PWM) when it comes to noise on the Mugen 5. they seemed to like the Kotetsu MK II https://www.computerbase.de/2017-12/cpu-kuehler-test-tower-round-up/5/ Thanks for the link.

Your setup is slick and supposed to be very quiet. I have an NH-U14S which shares the same fan model of yours, and at 500rpm it's kinda quiet.

I'm interested in you case, so I'll monitoring this thread.

If not cherry-picked, then it's impressive; some coil whine though... http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_1080_ti_gaming_x_trio_review,10.html These sites did not get similiar values.

I did some testes and I changed my mind.

NH-A15 PWM s not ans good as I thought. It is good, but the noise is not that pleasant above certain speed.

I am testing the NH-U14S and, initially, the NF-A15 seems to me to be excellent. I'm finding it much better than the Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM noise wise. By the way, building a rig using the 400Q is a pain in the ass. Mainly in the cable management area. There is very little spacing behind the ...

Are its fans (APA1425M12) on-par with BE QUIET SILENT WINGS 3 in terms of noise?

I'm able to switching between headphones and speaker using the control panel audio of my ASUS PRIME X370-PRO without a problem. I just insert my speakers on back panel (motherboard's rear panel) and the headphones on the case's front panel. The trick is in the preset must be done before, cause by de...

lodester, I tested not the NF-S12B redux-1200 (DC) on the CPUOPT header, but the NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM (upper front intake since I have two of them, and the other one in on the lower]) but with AMD Wraith cooler as its mirror is not a fair test. I ended putting it on the WATERPUMPPLUS header and se...

I tested the fan header Water Pump+ under BIOS and under Fan Xpert 4. Sadly, under BIOS, the minimum fan speed possible is 60% since the Fan tunning just tunes CPU Fan (and mirror CPU Opt), Cha Fan 1 and Cha Fan 2. Under Fan Xpert 4, I was abble to set 0 to 100%, but my PC reboots by itself when I a...

Abula, it is true. AURA is standalone. I think Fan Xpert should be too, although I guess it is Fax Xpert which is crashing my system. By the way, I regret have bought that motherboard because it is very buggy. I will give a shot for QFAN (pure BIOS). I was able to down the speed of the three fans us...

Abula, thanks you for advice. I will consider eerthing. Now i'm having trouble with Fax Xpert (or BIOS 0805). I'm getting black screen freeze crashes due the monitoring softwares, and sudden the motherboard stops controlling the ChaFan2, forcing me power down the PSU and restart to restore the norma...

I ended up replacing the NZXT S340 Elite with the Corsair 400Q. Also, I replaced the NH-D15 with NH-U14S plus three fans (all to be delivered): 1 x Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200 (single redux 120mm available on the Brazilian market) plus 2 x Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM (slowest 140mm redux here). NF-...

From the SPCR review of the Noctua NH-D15 "...Replacing the NF-A15's with our reference NF-P14's produced nearly identical results, except in the one fan configuration, which greatly favored the NF-A15, especially at higher speeds...". So if you want to run a single fan the NH-D15 would be a better...

Here in Brazil both are for the same price. I'll use an ASUS PRIME X370-PRO, therefore will be able to control properly the NF-P14 FLX. I think the only reason to get the old boy is because that 140mm fan, which has the best acoustics on the SPCR standards. The 120mm fan shall be removed. If I end u...

Just to leave this.

Yes! Myself who does not understand a damn thing of English, would be very well served with a TL;DR.

I don't like these stuffs too. Just refering to the thickness and cooling.

Well, I reconsidered and now I'm find that too water cooling oriented. If it were not for that, it'd be very good.

After the NexusGamer review of the Asus, and seen how more efficient it is under the same noise, i decided to go with it. I revisited most of the reviews, and the techpowerup had the following remark, Maybe that's why ASUS has promised to release a "quiet" BIOS soon, which will change the fan confi...

+ Front USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C + can accommodate three fans at the bottom + 3mm tempered glass side panel + constructed with 1.2mm SECC + specialized GPU holder + RGB LED + etc. I wonder how good it'd be to put an ultra-silent 120mm fan blowing directly into a semi-fanless or fanless power supply.
