Those with custom loops what speed do you run your rad fans at?

I just turn them up and then slowly drop them until the whoosh sound tails off and the rig is quiet enough for comfort.

Tends to be around 800-850rpm. I only turn them up if benchmarking or the game is taxing the system a bit.
 
I run mine at around 800 rpm which as I have a total of 14 fans across 3 rads in push/pull is enough to keep my system and the water cool whatever I'm doing on the PC.
 
Fans off until Water temp hits 31 'c then the 4 x 220 of the external Radiators spool up, they click off again when temp drops below 29.

As they are low rpm fans to be honest with head phones on I never notice them, even with the headphones off its just a mild air noise and is actually quite pleasant I find :)
 
I have Thermaltake TT Premiums' running at about 300RPM at idle, ML120's at about 450RPM idle. The ML120's double under load, the TT's go up to about 800.
 
That's great, cheers guys.

So I should be ok with my bequiet silent wings 3 1000rpm edition then. Just need 2 more then I'll have 5 in total.

What are your pump speeds at and do you have them adjust to the temp or just run a fixed rpm?
 
My D5 is set to 3 I think. Some of my fans stop when idle and then ramp up when cpu starts heating up. Others are just on a low tick over to keep a bit of airflow through the case and ramp up like the others.
 
I have 4x 140mm areocool DS fans on the rads & run them at 700rpm.
Rear exhaust fan is a 120mm Areocool DS that run at 850 rpm

Pump runs at 50% (2200rpm)

450rpm at idle, 800-1000rpm at load with a D5 vario set to 2

Max water temp of 35c with heating on full blast :)
 
As it's winter now mine are turned right down so about 450rpm and I currently have a water temperature of 7.6 degrees (was even colder yesterday). My radiators are in a box on a windowsill with the window slightly open and sucking outside air at 2.6 degrees through them. No I do not get any condensation.
 
That's brilliant cheers guys.

Are you all on push pull, push or pull?

My front rad will be push and my top rad will be pull.
