I'm trying to lower the temperatures in my system. I'm cooling a Titan X and a 5960X on the same loop. I have a large radiator with four Corsair Sp fans, which keeps things cool and quiet. I wonder if increasing the fan speeds would really help the temperatures. My GPU gets hot when under load, reaching the 80s, so I was thinking about getting a fan controller to adjust speeds and see if it makes a difference. I just checked other people's advice before making this decision.

Yes, you can modify the fan speed through the BIOS or using software on your motherboard.

What speed are they operating at currently? If they're running between 40 and 60 percent, there will be a variation, but it will also make them noisier. Also, can you adjust them to full speed using your motherboard? Where are they linked to, and why would you require a controller?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't connected to the motherboard but to the PSU.

When connected to the PSU, they operate at full capacity immediately.

And what does a large radiator look like? You might need an additional one.
