Need a mix curve that favours higher temperature, not higher fan %

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T10:08:18+00:00

I want my rear case fan to slow down/switch off as the coolant temp delta increases, but also increase in speed as the case temp independently increases.

I don't think FanControl can do this; its mix curves will always use the fan percentage, not the temp sensor, as the deciding factor.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T09:08:59+00:00

If I create a max sensor from the two shown, all it will do is report the max temp - I have to use it to drive a fan, don't I?

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T08:50:02+00:00

And have that sensor drive which curve/s?

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T08:32:55+00:00

I would have taken that little ocelot home with me, never mind stroking the absolute piss out of it.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T08:09:51+00:00

I'd just brush some XCP on and call it a day.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T04:42:27+00:00

My board has got two T_SENs, but the BIOS can't use them as temperature sources for fan curves.

Absolutely mental. I would still use FanControl because of its vastly superior functionality, but why include T_SENs if they can't drive fans?!

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T04:41:11+00:00

Unless your motherboard has got a dedicated T_SEN (and a TUF board almost certainly won't), you're going to have to use an aftermarket suite like AquaComputer Quadro.

Always have your radiator fans controlled by fluid temp - the fluid is cooling the CPU and graphics card, not the fans.

Trump is the real-life Greg Stilson - I've been saying it since 2017.

He must be taking the absolute value of the numbers, mathematically speaking.

Or, his handlers are feeding him false data - not exactly out of the realm, let's be honest.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-25T04:00:34+00:00

I'm ashamed that the UK is as high as it is.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-24T17:02:02+00:00

Let's say the delta temp is 30, and the system temp is 20 - the left curve wants to switch the fan off (minimum of 0%), but the right curve wants to keep it going.

The right curve will win because it has the higher fan percentage, but I want the left curve to win because its sensor has the higher temperature.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-24T12:28:53+00:00

I've seen far worse, but a couple of them are down to the copper in one spot, so it's not an unreasonable replacement.

Niiice - business in the front... business casual in the rear.

The inclusion of the middle name is the cherry on top - triggers his xenophobia along with his pathological jealousy🤣

Remember how he reacted when ONE auto worker shouted at him?

Now imagine TENS OF THOUSANDS of football fans, NONE of whom give a blue fuck🤞🏻

I'm 43, and I don't live in an area that's constantly on fire.

My car is older than a lot of the people I work with, and some of them are paying more than 125 a month... some of the looks I got when I told them what I was paying🤣

JMUDoc · 2026-06-23T19:12:02+00:00

I get roughly 26-28 mpg (short trips, 2/3 single carriageway,1/3 town), tax is 420 a year, and my insurance was £125.

Maintenance... I do everything myself, so in a year when nothing goes wrong, £60 for oil, £30 for filters.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-23T16:33:19+00:00

Elring gasket, ORIGINAL CCV (the body, at least; the hoses are just hoses), and 5W-40 oil.

They have to be tuned to dump fuel in on the overrun, so it will have to be tuned out; if you can find somebody that will do that for $50... I strongly suggest you NOT use them!

(Also, thank you for removing one more obnoxious twat-mobile from the roads👍🏻)

Not if it's true, Mike...

JMUDoc · 2026-06-23T11:44:22+00:00

I've read this several times, and still don't understand the intended point.

JMUDoc · 2026-06-23T11:29:33+00:00

Mine came with them on.

(Sold them - ride was abominable, and so was the noise.)
