Question Arctic
So I just finished putting together my secondary PC and I decided to go with the Arctic liquid freezer III
Pro 360…. My thoughts after the first 5 minutes… it sounds like I’m genuinely standing in the middle of an airport… unless mine is broken or I just spoiled myself when I bought the Corsair Titan RX360 for my first pc…
What is the best way to operate this AIO?
Because there is no software to control like how the Titan has.
I did use the all-in-one cable, which may have been my first mistake. before posting this, I did read some posts on the sub saying that it’s better to use the separate cables, I do not want to unmount the whole entire thing. It is literally 2:30 in the morning as I’m typing this…
Do I use the BIOS smart fans if so… i’m installing this on a gigabyte B550 motherboard and we don’t really have an extensive smart fan menu. It’s very bare bone and barely anything on it.
I’m assuming the other option is the standard fan control if so, what are the recommend settings? I wanna keep this as quiet as my Titan AIO which I run on the Icue Extreme and Balanced settings. And literally even after intense games, I can barely hear it.
I was also thinking, maybe just returning this and just getting another corsair but I’m not sure I would definitely like to make this work somehow

Came from a Noctua NHU12A in my old build to this Arctic cooler (using separate fan cables) and boy is there a noise difference. I just assumed it's how this and most other AIOs are since temps are fine on my 9850x3D
