How to link PWM case fans to gpu temp?
SpeedFan isnt an option as im using AM4 platform, it only detects ssd drives temps.
Any other solution?


Edit: i solved this a year ago you don't have to respond anymore, ty.

Are they loud if you change pwm setting to dc?

To otherwise control the fans just use the motherboard branded software

I just want them quiet in idle, so i have them set at 500rpm till 50c...they are set to 100% at 55c but they are still running low rpm because i have a problem to heat up my 3700x with dark rock 4 with the games i play, still still running at 500rpm all the time, so my gpu isnt getting enough fresh air. I think i found a program that will work its called Argus Monitor. If i could link them with gpu temp and make them run at 100% when gpu reaches 60c that would be great.

Try AMD Ryzen Master.
But I'm not sure that allows controlling the Mobo fans or not.
Can't remember off-hand.

But again your motherboard model page will have software to use for such things.

What size are the case fans and what's their max rpm?

I have Asus x570 board and it has AI suite 3 software, i didnt find such an option to link my fans to gpu temp.
I have 3 140mm version with max 1000 rpm and 1 120mm with 1450rpm i guess.
I could do what i want with the program i mention up there, finally,

Place the Optional Thermal Sensor cable on the GPU and in AI Suite 3 tick the T_Sensor in the Source options on the Chasis Fan tabs.

You can't link motherboard fans to gpu by any means anyways, so what, who cares. Just set their speed manually and move on.

I said i did it with the program Argus Monitor, they finally work as i wanted. They are linked to the gpu temp sensor, i set them to 500rpm below 60c, when gpu reaches 60c they run at 100%.

Thank you but i already found a solution and will stick to that.

If 100% isn't a problem then just run em full speed all the time.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.
You might try a software called "Argus Monitor"

Yeah i actually found that program the day i posted this topic.
It was like the only program that worked and did all i wanted in 5 mins, using it since then, i even bought the premium version, that's the first program i ever paid for, still don't regret. I mean there are other similar programs like Speed Fan, but that doesn't work anymore for AM4 mobos, it couldn't detect any senzors.

Get some pcb tape and stick the probe as close as you can to the copper heatsink under the fans assembly.

i found that software today, because i replaced my gpu stock cooler with 2 120mm fans, but i forgot the adapter to connect those fans in my gpu, then i had to use the PWM connectors from my MOBO xD

I looked at argus monitor and you have to pay for it - even worse you have to pay again periodically.

My motherboard has a thermal sensor on it.
I paid $5 for the cable + delivery which is likely too much.
My GPU is the gigbyte aoris gtx 1080 ti with a 'cooling' backplate cooper part which has the sensor on it.

That is how I do it.
So I can just use the included software and have the fan curve of fans using the sensor as a temperature guide combined with other temperatures.

Maybe look at your motherboard manual to find a themal sensor connector.
Oh and I have the ASUS B550-E mothebnoard.

No everything is free for a month so you can try it, then you have to pay.

I use FanControl by Rem0o, A SpeedFan Replacement. Looks a little intimidating at first, but once you understand it, things gets simpler. You can run Case Fans base on GPU or CPU or even Daisy Chain both like a Override when you using CPU than GPU or GPU than CPU.
