Case help

Hi,
I currently have an Aerocool Quartz RGB Midi Tower Case and the fans seem to be at full tilt most of the time. I do run quite a few intensive tasks. Can anyone please suggest a remedy?
CPU is liquid cooled.

What are the case fans plugged into?

If possible, try to set a reasonable fan curve.
Depends on the cooler, sure, but a decent AIO and good airflow, I usually set at 40% up to 70C, 45% up to 75C, 50% up to 80C and 100% over 80C.
Then adjust accordingly to your needs, noise and performance.
Setting the fan curve too conservative, any spike or slightly sudden boost, the fans will shoot up for no reason.
The P12 supplied with the Arctic Freezer 240/360, for example, if the airflow is decent, I never had to set the fans to more than 50%. Most of the time would stay between 35 and 40%. Virtually silent.
The Corsair 150i capelix, the pump screams at any speed, and the fans annoyed me anytime they were over 450rpm.

Hi. Thx for replying and sorry for the delay. I am not sure how to do that - can you explain please?

In BIOS, depending which motherboard you’re using, will be an option/field to allow control of the fan speed. They’ll allow DC control (voltage), PWM and auto. If available, and fans are 4 pin connector, PWM is recommended. There you’ll be able to set a fan curve, basically which % the fan should run at given temperature.
