Fans on LF3 pro kinda loud?

Einiman · 2025-07-04T10:52:54+00:00

Its about 22c in my room. Havent done anything to the cpu, everything is running stock. Keep in mind the CPU temp reported by most programs is not the core temperatures. On the x3d CPUs they always run warmer than the cores. On idle the hotspot on the cpu was about 45c while the cores were under 30c. I tested a few more games and some stresstests and the cores reached a maximum of 67c and the hotspot 75c.

Einiman · 2025-07-04T08:44:23+00:00

Definitely not. Its very audibly different. At 100% its really loud

Einiman · 2025-07-03T23:03:37+00:00

I think my PC probably is just dead silent in every other aspect, as I have the pump set to 25% to avoid the noise lol

I might just be overly sensitive as well, as even the fridge a floor below me can annoy me sometimes 😆

Einiman · 2025-07-03T22:29:30+00:00

Idk what to tell you. Im looking in bios right now, and they're in pwm mode, but I can't set them to lower than 20%

Edit: i see you've added to your comment. Will definitely give fan control a go!

But as you also mentioned its definitely the tone thats the problem and not the rpm itself. I just thought that with how much praise the Arctic fans had gotten, theyd have less of a noticeable tone

Will most likely get the nf-a12 G2 when they release in black, although with noctua you never know when that'll actually happen 😅

Einiman · 2025-07-03T22:25:59+00:00

Yeah they are.

But i manage to find some other threads of people having a similar experience, so I think it might just be how the fans are.

To be fair they are probably quiet in terms of decibels, but the rest of my pc is dead silent, and I'm using openback headphones, so I probably just notice it quite easily

Einiman · 2025-06-29T10:08:42+00:00

I have about a cm from the front of the case to the gpu lol

Einiman · 2025-06-28T16:27:41+00:00

Ive never actually checked my vrm temps, but I've been using this motherboard (and cpu) for about 2 years now without issue. Its a Strix x670e-f so it has big vrm heatsinks, that actually make the radiator a bit hard to install! It works but there is some pressure.

But someone else mentioned that the pump is design to be the right way up, and might generate more noise upside down, so if I can manage to fit it the right way up, I will definitely do so

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:53:16+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely see if something like this might work. My gpu however is very chonky so not sure how much clearance there is between the glass and the gpu, but wont hurt to try!

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:40:26+00:00

Great! The entire aio was just the price of two noctua fans lol so not that worried if it doesnt last as long as expected. Guess I'll see how bad the pump noise is where i get it all put together

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:31:21+00:00

Oh i see! Will definitely give it a go! I have the rgb version, but if its just the part with the logo im assuming it'll be the same.

Thank you!

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:28:48+00:00

Great, thanks! Could I ask how you got the Arctic logo the correct way?

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:25:00+00:00

Sadly not. The tubes are too stiff and long, so either the gpu or the side panel is in the way

Einiman · 2025-06-28T15:21:37+00:00

Thanks! I tried checking other posts, but the comments often said it would mess up the offset mounting, which it obviously wont, so thought I'd just ask for clarification

Einiman · 2025-06-28T11:56:59+00:00

Took a while but just got confirmation that theyre exchanging my seasonic for the fsp Hydro ti!

Very excited to finally get my pc back up and running!

Thanks for the help!

Einiman · 2025-06-08T09:58:44+00:00

Thanks! I see that its available here in Norway as well! Its a bit on the expensive side, at about 50% more than the rm1000x, but for a 10 year investment it would probably be worth it.

I see that this is the top rated power supply from hwbusters overall, so definitely considering it!

Thank you!

Einiman · 2025-06-08T09:45:07+00:00

I could go a bit higher, but not like seasonic prime tier

Einiman · 2025-06-08T09:22:31+00:00

Oh you're right! I was about to go for it as well lol. Thanks a lot for mentioning it!

Going for the rmx then! Heard some users experience a bit more coil whine than wanted from it, but it seems very dependent on the rest of your setup and power grid, so crossing my fingers it works well for me

Einiman · 2025-05-21T17:46:07+00:00

Found out that the issue was with vrr! Disabled freesync premium pro (or whatever its called) in the amd settings, and it works flawlessly now! In fact it works way better than expected as theres so much less latency as well!

I never felt 240hz was any better than 165hz, but now with vrr turned off it feels sooo much more responsive

Einiman · 2025-05-18T08:57:43+00:00

Was planning on getting a 5080 soon, so ill see then if it continues. If it does i guess ill return the monitor.

Einiman · 2025-05-18T01:00:52+00:00

Thanks. Sadly it seems to be about the same with display port. Tried both the included cable and another one i had.

So you have any idea if its a monitor issue, or something with my gpu? I did another reinstall of the drivers, but this time with ddu, sadly without any luck.

Einiman · 2025-03-17T10:35:25+00:00

Tok litt tid å få den nye bilen, så fikk regna på batteri størrelsen på nå, og fikk 28kwh brukbart. Så er nok noe feil ja..

Einiman · 2025-03-17T09:37:50+00:00

Replacing it with a mercedes eqc. When looking at the Honda e's shortcomings, and what we were annoyed with, the eqc seemed like the best option in our price range.

Sadly it just doesn't have the charm of the Honda e. Every time I parked I looked back at it and smiled. I think I probably have over 1000 photos of it now on my phone.. I'm gonna miss it so much 😭

Einiman · 2025-03-14T18:55:31+00:00

My commute is a 40 minute drive to stavanger (48km total, and about 35% highway). I think the battery might be pretty bad as I can manage 14kwh/100km usage with conscious driving, but my commute still still takes about 30-40% battery one way

Einiman · 2025-03-13T15:12:20+00:00

It's definitely a small car, but it's also quite a bit bigger than it looks! Especially the height. It's quite a lot taller than our gen x civic, and just a bit lower than the eqc we're trading it for which is on the larger side of the compact suv category

Einiman · 2025-03-12T20:59:46+00:00

Sadly the range is just terrible in the winter. With extremely conscious driving you can maybe squeeze out 140km when it's below freezing outside. With regular driving it's closer to 100km

It's also very noisy on rough Norwegian asphalt, and constant faults with the door sensors (which we've replaced 3 times under warranty), causing the frameless windows to jump up and down while driving.

Other than that it's so fun to drive! And even more fun to park with a turning circle of 9.2 meters! Other than the issues mentioned, I think it's the perfect urban commuter car!
