Cm 612 is prolly crap. Change it. 4.4 needs high end air with ivy or even h80 or so. Use fans at full speed still
from reviews id checked they didnt look too bad but for some reason i cant get the fan to go above 1250rpm and the image above shows it running at 2krpm i wonder if its coz mine is an hyper 612s....... anyways im gona reseat the cooler tomorrow and check what happens with that
as for the case its an old case aurora ebox it has room for another 80mm fan on the back and front which i add duno how much difference it will make tho
the fan is plugged into the cpu header on the motherboard and the side is off has been since installing it all. in bios i can find the fan control but iv no idea what the slope pwm is so not sure what to change on it lol
Fan controls come under the PC Health menu as per usual, and Gigabyte are still deciding to stick with an almost incomprehensible method of allowing users to customize their fan settings. By offering options in 'PWM Value / ºC', the only thing the user will understand is 'more means more power'. I would rather this actually had temperatures related to it, or some sort of in-BIOS graphing system to show what is actually happening.
Fan control looks strange to me but going off what I read and images as I don't have the mb to play with. I couldn't find and image of the cpu fan control memu exploded.

Ha! That is an awesome experiment you unintentionlly ran there Now we know to what extent leaving the label on the HSF can impact the operating temps :thumbsup:
haha indeed and something i will never do again
