OK, i have a 3900x with a H150 Pro XT on it. Running 6 fans in push pull on them in a stupidly large Thermaltake 900 case. Setting up my fan profiles through ICue have been ok, and im getting the fans to ramp up circa 65 degrees under load.. Thus under load my fans are working harder (bit noisy but nothing major)..
Now i read through this following thread here (hope its allowed to link):

Basically the person is saying that i should be running the fans off the coolant temp as it is that i need to keep cool - the temps of the CPU are bound by the voltage? - and i dont control that with the cooler setup.
What they are saying kinda makes sense as if the coolant is kept circa at 30 degrees which it is at the moment - it will never get better than that, thus keeping it at that - will let my CPU run hotter but within limits??.. And the cooler is running at nigh on 100% efficiency ish.. Hope thats not too confusing..

R: Should i run my H150 fan profiles off the CPU temp (erratic with the 3900x) - or run them off the Coolant temp and only let the fans ramp up when the coolant gets warmer?? - This option means the fans will not ramp up as much?? (Never seen it past 34 degrees yet!)
I do feel like with a H150 it should cool the 3900x with ease??
