Question and help with ROG Ryujin III ARGB microfan speed settings.

[Theotorn]

Hi everyone,
I installed the ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB cooler on my i7 14700K and needed to figure out how to set the speed of the microfan included with the pump.
As you can see, I set the pump speed to maximum for better cooling performance.

I'm wondering what kind of curve to set for the microfan speed (100% would be too noisy) so as to still cool the pump, which is always running at maximum.

For now, I've set the microfan like this:

Is this okay? Do I risk burning out the pump by always running at maximum?
I'm asking for your help and opinion because I'm worried about damaging the heatsink.
Thank you very much.

Hi @Theotorn Most AIO's will run at 100% by default, and this is fine. The pumps are designed to operate at 100% for years. Only main reasons to deviate is noise or vibration. Some units don't even allow speed adjustment.

Hi Silent, thanks for the quick reply. My concern was the built-in microfan.
So can I leave the pump speed at 100% and set a curve for the built-in microfan without damaging the pump or burning it out? That was my main concern.
If you tell me that with the pump at 100% and the microfan set to a curve, it won't cause any damage, then I'll proceed as follows. Is that okay?

Hi Silent, you haven't replied to my message below. If you tell me I can easily set the pump speed to maximum and set a curve for the integrated microfan without causing any damage, can I rest assured? What worries me is that if I set the pump speed to maximum and then the microfan doesn't cool it enough, I'm afraid the pump will break. Can I rest assured? I'm asking because this heatsink is very expensive and I don't want to break it. Can you please answer me?

As mentioned  said, yes, this is fine. The units are designed to be operated at max RPM. The micro-fan is designed to help cool surrounding components such as the motherboard VRMs, etc.
