So as far as I can tell SIV needs to lauch on startup for the smart fan settings to take effect. Otherwise, the fans run off of BIOS settings?
I have 3 identicle case fans on a Gigabyte Aorus Master plugged in to headers 1, 2 and 4 on the motherboard. In Smart fan 5 all three have different max and min RPM and one fan doesn't list any info. I set all three fans to the VMOS temp wich doesn't fluctuate. The Smart Fan 5 Auto settings also sets different fan curves for all three fans. Also, the CPU fan "curve" is up and down. It's a Corsair H115.
I think I should just ditch the software and run BIOS only.
