How loud should an AiO be?

[Rk1012]

My build arrived today with the following specs. When I'm playing games, the fans seem pretty loud (even if I have them set to 'quiet' rather than 'balanced' in the settings) - I just want to make sure this is expected and that there's no issues. The fans are apparently running at 1500 rpm and the pump at 2200 rpm.

Which fans are you reading though, are you sure it’s not the case fans?

Can you post the full specs from the order page?

Those RPMs are for the AiO fans. I have no idea whether it's those fans or the case fans that are being noisy.

It’s unlikely the AIO fans running fast, more likely the case fans.

Check how the case fans are wired in. They should all be routed through a single PWM Repeater which then occupies one fan header on the board. Make sure that’s plugged into one of the CH_Fan headers. Then you’ll need to adjust them with the motherboard software which would be AISuite or in the BIOS

Downloaded AISuite, it says:

CPU Fan - 2280~ RPM
Chasis Fan 1 - 1760 RPM
Chasis Fan 2 - 950 RPM
PCH Fan - 3100 RPM

Does any of that sound unusual? It honestly may just be that I was expecting the fans to be quieter than what's realistic whilst running games.

edit: I've just found this comment below on Reddit.. maybe it's the PCH fan?
"I bought an Asus X570 Strix-F and I configured all my fans correctly to make them less noisy and keep the performance, but the PCH fan is still loud (3000 rpm usually with 41 degrees motherboard) and is completly audible without wearing headset."

As with any custom PC, it’s all down to you to configure it how you want it.

You need to find which fan header the case fans are on and adjust that one to what you want it at.

It’s not something we can advise on, it’s something you’ll have to play with to find what works for you.
