Today I switched the Asus fan control from 'standard' setting to 'turbo' mode, which is more aggressive. I think the Noctua cooler will control temps even under max TDP and core load. With the CPU only going up to about 55'C CPUID Hardware Monitor, with CPU at 65% load, I feel safe. It maxes all four cores but still only uses about 65% TDP of the CPU, and reaches temps akin to gaming.
I have been using Hot CPU Pro Lite Edition. I think if the real core temp was used, the Freezer 7 Pro would have spun faster and been doing a better job. It must think the CPU is still very cool.Įffectively, I think the way the CPU temp is monitored for fan control, may have cost me another CPU cooler. The Noctua fan runs from 300RPM, to 1500RPM, yet under load the CPU-fan is maxing at 384RPM. I read online, and a forum general opinion is Asus software uses the CPU socket temp, not CPU core temp. I suspect the Asus software monitoring at 37'C. What temperature is the CPU-fan being controlled by. Later after installing Asus AI Suite with Asus Probe II, I saw a vastly different CPU temp. I think this cooler will probably protect the CPU under any situation, case fans low, CPU load full, etc. I then bought a better cooler, the Noctua NF-U12S which gave = max temps 55'C, (CPUID-Hardware Monitor). In all possibility a 100% load might exceed the CPU max temp. However I was only running games like Crysis 2 which were pushing the CPU to just 65% load. This wasn't brilliant but it was within spec. Initially I was running a Freezer 7 Pro = max temps 66'C, (CPUID-Hardware Monitor). () I think that is max temp, but may be the CPU throttle of the boost clock. The CPU is an i5-4690, and is specced to T-case 72'C and Intel say add on 5'C for CPU core temp = 77'C. I want the cooler to be independently sufficient.) (Neither do I want to use any motherboard Asus BIOS fan tuning to make a more aggressive fan profile. I want to know my CPU cooler will protect my CPU in any situation, under load like gaming. The purpose of using minimal case cooling is specific. This runs case fans at the slowest, but still does a good job of cooling. In all monitoring, I am using the 5V settings. My PC case has 5V, 7V, and 12V settings for the case fans. What temp is being used to guide the CPU fan? It's probably best to set out the picture of what I am doing, and then what I am observing.
