I have an Apollo case with an H100i corsair cooler on the i7 6700k cpu @ 4.32 GHz.

I am wondering what are the best values to set the fan controls at in the corsair link software?

I don't know if this is strange or what, but I was playing Fallout 4 for an hour on max settings and hwmonitor reported the motherboard temperatures at 100 C at one point. The computer was still on and running fine, although I set all the fan controls to quiet mode. After the 100 C Fallout 4 incident I set the fan controls back to defaults and the temps were normal again.
core i7-6700k @4.7 GHz
Predator 360 cpu&gpu
16 GB DDR4@2800 MHz
ASUS Z-170 PRO GAMING
256 GB SAMSUNG 850 PRO
500 GB SAMSUNG 850 EVO
GTX 980 TI ASUS STRIX
ACER XB270HU 2560x1440 @144 hz

Ignore motherboard temps in HWMonitor.   CPU core and gpu temps are the accurate ones.    some mobo's don't have a sensor so the program's just throw something out there.

As I've said since day one, my HWMonitor still shows my mobo running above 120°C even when I first turn it on.

Yea, ignore mobo temps in HWMonitor. Go with Speccy or RealTemp instead.
