So I wanted to turn down the GPU fans to 0% when the temperature is under say 50c. However, MSI afterburner wont let me turn it below 30%. Is this locked because of a setting in afterburner, or in my BIOS? Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB DUAL OC-Thank you.

Hey all, Bought a new Corsair H100i RGB Platinum AIO cooler on Amazon the other day and installed it today. Was having a few problems with high very fan speed but managed to rectify it. Read the log of events below if you're interested or encountering similar problems. Plugged it in as per instruction manual. Both fans' power and RGB into the splitters coming out of the Pump, and the USB going to a USB header on the motherboard. Turned on the PC, all was fine until desktop, when both fans ramped right up to 100% and wouldn't go down. In Ryzen Master, CPU was chilly at about 22 degrees. Opened Corsair's iCUE software (I also have a Strafe Keyboard and Void Headset) and on all of the fan control settings, even quiet, it was super noisy, and the RGB was just not sticking to the setting I wanted either. WILD GOOSE CHASE TIME (DO NOT FOLLOW THESE STEPS) Found out by unplugging individual fans from the splitter that the one marked '1' was by far the highest RPM, so got a splitter out and tried to run both off of the non marked plug. Things were okay but not quiet at all, maybe at 1600RPM instead of the 2000+RPM i had from Plug '1'. Messed around for ages with fan curves trying to get it as silent as possible, but it still sounded like a vacuum cleaner even at the quietest I got it. Plugged in the both fans into 1 and unmarked again as per instructions and messed around with the ASUS QFan control in the UEFI. Didn't solve anything. At this point I was so upset with it and thought about sending it back and putting my old CoolerMaster pump-noise-a-tronic 3000 back on. At my wits end, disabled iCUE from Startup Programs. Restarted my PC and it was running really quiet, started iCUE and boom it comes in 100% again. Problem is with iCUE then. Went back into iCUE and was looking through the settings for ages trying to set pump to Extreme, but fans to minimum RPM to try and offset the noise. Tried reinstalling iCUE, and still nothing. And so, the final thing I could think of trying.... THE FIX (DO FOLLOW THIS STEP!): Checked the Firmware in Settings in iCUE. iCUE told me that the firmware was up to date. Then spotted that I could force a firmware update, what is there to lose right? Everything was fixed, just like that. Fans are now running on 500RPM or lower 90% of the time and cooling performance is great. So basically, even if it tells you the firmware is up to date, never trust it and update it yourself. TLDR: Update your firmware in iCUE if you have problems with fans running 100% Thanks for reading Rhys

Hello Was just going through my system trying to optimise cooling and performance and I noticed that the radiator fans on the AIO don't go above 1300RPM at all. I have a custom fan curve set up in my BIOS, in which above 75C CPU temp the CPU fan (and the other fans that are adjustible in the BIOS) are 100% power. But when I run a stress test, the CPU temp skyrockets up to around 83C very fast but the fans don't really ramp up that much (I know the screenshots show else, I will explain later). I looked it up, the fans are rated at 1800RPM max (+/- 300 according to NZXT) so even with the very low end of the spectrum 1300RPM is out of the range at full power. The temp doesn't exceed 85C but I'm assuming thats thermal throttling rather than cooling being efficient as thats the temp limit set in the BIOS. The numbers are according to CPUID HWMonitor. The pump (which can be controlled through NZXT CAM) ramps up as it should according to the curve, and HWmonitor detects this too as well as CAM saying it does. I attached a screenshot of HWMonitor when it's idle and under full load. I'm not sure but I think AUXFANIN2 (and chassis #4 as it is always displaying the same values) is the pump speed as it mostly matches with what CAM is saying for pump speed, and according to NZXT the pump does go up to 2800rpm. CPUFANIN and CPU I imagine would be the radiator fans? In NZXT CAM I have the three case fans which I can control and have tested, if put at 100% run at over 1600RPM according to CAM. These fans are the exact same as the ones that came with the AIO Some more info if it helps: Self built PC, isn't too old. About 2yrs old, but not used for a large amount of that due to personal issues. Yes, I remembered thermal paste. -CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X -Motherboard: ROG Strix X570-F -Have three case fans at the front, alongside the two on the AIO, all 140mm and 4 pin connectors. -I'm using a NZXT fan hub for the RGB of the AIO fans and the power and RGB of the case fans. (I think. Honestly, not 100% sure I built it years ago and theres too many cables to follow along. But if you think this could be the issue I can open up the case and have a closer look. Regarding the screenshots, I'm not sure why the one under load levelled out at such low temps. Earlier when I did it the temps were over 80C. Both times the CPU was under 100% load, although the one I just did for the screenshot the cores ran at 4.6GHz as opposed to hitting the full 4.8GHz boost clock earlier. Not sure why. Regardless, the fans were still not running near the rate they should for those temps if they were running properly based on the BIOS curve I'm really not fussed about noise under heavy load, mostly care about keeping temps down to avoid as much throttling as possible. Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to try help, I know it's a small thing but my perfectionism can't let it go. If there is any more info that would help, please ask away. Beni For the screenshots the left value is current, middle is minimum and right is maximum. Idle: Under load:

Hi, I'm currently using a Corsair H100x with my Asus Prime Z390-P motherboard. On my motherboard I have a slot for the CPU fan and then one for an AIO pump, I was just wondering which slot I should plug the Pump into and the radiator fans into. The installation guide just says put the AIO pump connector on the CPU fan slot and doesn't really mention the radiator fans. My motherboard guide it says to put the radiator fans on the AIO connection but, with it set up like this my fans go full speed as soon as I start the computer and dont change speed at all after. Thanks for any help!

I am wondering if my intagrated GPU should remain off for slightly better thermals. My main goal is keep my laptop fanspeed as LOW as possible most of the time, I've done literally zero gaming on the machine because the graphics are about the same as my PlayStation 4 anyway.

Hello. I have recently completed my first PC build (igpu, Ryzen 7 5700G) and everything is working great. Its working better than I could have hoped for and I am super happy with the PC itself. Now for my problem: I am using a case by a relatively small german company called Sharkoon. More specifically, the Sharkoon Rev200 (amazon link: https://www.amazon.de/Sharkoon-4044951028498-REV200-RGB-PC-Gehäuse/dp/B07ZVXPLZF/ref=asc_df_B07ZVXPLZF/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=407391753599&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3496352623279836640&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9042317&hvtargid=pla-875602751234&psc=1&th=1&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=86274001399&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=407391753599&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3496352623279836640&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9042317&hvtargid=pla-875602751234 ). Its (in my opinion) a pretty awesome inverted design rgb-fan case. The built was relatively smooth sailing, all the rgbs work but I have a few Problems with it: 1. Fan speed control. The RGB rings around the fans are connected to an ARGB header in the back and the fans themselves are controlled by the Power supply over Molex connections. Therefore, I cant control the fan speed with some kind of software, since they are not connected to the board and they constantly run at 100%. My first question would be whether there is any way to control the fan speed with some kind of hardware or controller or software that I dont know of? I am confident modding and working with electronics, so I would appreciate any suggestions. 2. another thing I don´t quite understand is that the RGB rings seem to be hooked up to the argb controller properly and the case manual says you can control the RGB-modes with the reset switch. But when I press said switch, nothing happens. I´ve tried both possible orientations of the reset switch connector on the argb controller and neither worked. I can provide pictures or elaborate further if my explanation isn´t understandable or insufficient. 3. This is less a problem I would like to troubleshoot and more something I don´t understand and am surprised by. As mentioned above, I have a Ryzen 7 5700G installed, which is a fairly high-end APU. And I expected it to build up a lot of heat, especially while gaming, since it is so "powerful" and handling all the CPU and GPU tasks. But it doesn´t. When I monitor the CPU thermals, I get about 30° to 35°C at Idle and my max temperature while playing modern AAA titles (e.g. Apex Legends) was about 60° or 65°C. Is it possible for my temps to actually be that low, or are my thermal sensors/tools wrong? Or is there any other explanation. I´m using a "be quiet! Pure Rock 2" CPU cooler with the pre-applied thermal paste. The mentioned issues are not super urgent, nor a big bother. I would simple like a case that is a little more silent (hence, throttle fan speed), working aRGBs and a deeper understanding of thermals and my PC in general Any input is dearly welcome. I hope I could make my points and problems clear and wasnt too confusing or annoying. Thank you in advance.

After cleaning my PC and changing my GPU’s thermal paste. Installed all back together, when i turn on my PC my GPU will run it’s fan speed to full speed , it’s like a rocket going to blast off. After entering my password in the home screen after a couple of seconds the fan speed will go to a full speed and after a while the system crash. My specs: • windows 10 x64 • Z170 Pro gaming • intel i7-6700K • 16GB ram • GTX 970 turbo asus Can some one help me. Very much appreciated.

I'm using various Noctua PWM fans and a MSI b450 gaming plus MOBO. I started getting messages saying my CPU or ram was changed and that my CMOS was reset (i didn't change anything). After that all my fans started spinning like crazy. I tried changing the fan speeds in the bios but it literally does nothing (I cant raise or lower the speeds). This problem is affecting all my fans CPU and regular case fans. As a temporary fix, I've been using a fan controller for my regular case fans, but my CPU fans are still plugged into the MOBO and going crazy. Things I've tried that haven't worked: -Updating bios -Changing CMOS battery -Using fan speed programs

i have a xpg core reactor 750w gold, but im really curious to know if the fan is actually doing its job. i ran OCCT for 10 min for the power test on auto, and by "feel" i dont see any change of speed of the psu fan when under load with this test so im starting to wonder if its okay or not the psu at all.

I have a custom built pc and want to control the case fans speed to improve air but my issue is the motherboard is a lenovo thinkcenter m82 and the fan control is locked, even through it has 3, 4 pin fan headers. I ev been looking in to fan hubs with software control but they all need pwm control. Has anyone else had the same issue and how did u fix it/get around it. Please help

What the title says, one of my fans slightly rattles at lower speeds so I started running it at 60% speed minimum so it would stop. Is this alright? I also have one of my case fans running at 100% all the time. I don't mind the whoooosh noise at all. Update: the whoosh turned back into a grinding sound and I replaced the fan with a Noctua fan and it's fixed.

I have a NVIDIA Gtx 950 that i can't control the fan speed of it. MSI Afterburner says it is at 20% but i think it is more than that since the gpu is running very loud. If i want to tweak it with any software it wouldn't change the speed

Hi again. Recently I did a forum about my the issue. However, it reoccurs again. My PC fans speed are ramp up during shutdown/restart/sleep. I did the following: 1. Swap In/Out Components: No effect. I transfer both CPU and GPU to my other system and still doesn't work. Afterwards, I use Ryzen 2200G, A320M motherboard and my GPU. It boots successfully, no issue in GPU. But the 2200G system belongs to my mom, and she using it. 2. Reseating the Components: I did both CPU, GPU and RAM reseating on the B550M board. This time, PC fans ramps up to 100% during boot. I did reseat them many times and then it boots. But the issue persist while shutdown. Also, my CPU and GPU temps are normal (~45C CPU, ~50C GPU). I uploaded a video on the actual issue of my rig. Please help me. This is my only game/freelance work PC and I don't want to lose my baby. video-1629378603.mp4

Hello everybody, I hope someone can spread some light on this for me, or atleast join me in feeling really confused comming into this little senario. Here goes. Building up and old PC for bedroom media center(Edit: Asus P7H55-M PRO with a Xeon X3470), found a nice case that demands some fans, but Mobo only has 2 headers, Cpu_fan and Sys_fan, both 4-pins. (has a 3-pin power header aswell, but let's forget that one) Letting the Cpu-cooler run on the Cpu header, I set out to find a fanhub to control the casefans (5 in total, all 4-pins) as I didn't wanna try my luck running all 5 fans on 1 header. I ordered a Thermaltake Commander FP 10 port PWM fanhub (nice of them to highlite no less than 2 times on the back that it's "Compatible with 3-pin fans" as well, when they further down on the box write in almost invisible small letters " *Speed control function is unavailable for 3-pin fans." GREAT compatibility!!! So, just running them 100%... -.-' ... but that's not what we're here for. I get the hub, set it up, connect all my fans, plug in SATA power, and connect the PWM signal cable to my Mobo' Sys_fan header... Everything starts up in 100% as expected untill speedfan loads, but only 1 fan(the nr.1 one that is also read to show RPM) is controlled by speedfan, the rest is at 100% blast. Speedfan showing 900RPM, and the nr.1 fan is correctly running around 900 RPM, but the rest is running wild. ?!? I Googled, and I found a post about the Sys_fan header maybe not being a PWM header, even tho it has 4 pins, but if that was true, why would it then control one fan at all. Everything worked perfectly before i got the hub when I had 3x 4-pin fans in a 3way splitter running on that header.. More Googling found a post about plugging the hub directly into the cpu header, and letting the bios handle it(really wanna have my cpu cooler running isolated, so this is not something I want to do unless I have to) Did that... speedfan won't do s*** to the cpu fancontrol, but the bios handles everything like a boss. Guess I'm running my systemfans on my cpu header, and my cpu cooler on my system header for now. Is this as it is supposed to be??

I built my first pc and I'm unsure of why I can't control the fan speed. I see the same temps on msi after burner, zotac firestorm and nvidia geforce. However, I can't seem to control the speeds on none of these programs. I've tried manual and advanced settings, save/applied changes and the speeds stay at 24% I would like to slow the fan speeds down in order to stress them a bit to see if I can make the temp go up so that if I ever run into a situation where I see high temps due to high work load in the future, I would then know how to actually speed the fans up. I've recorded video of the fans themselves and they do not slow down. How do I control fan speeds on these programs?

Hey guys, I was just looking on radeon Adrenalin software for no apparent reason other than to see my gpu fan speed. I saw though that this was happening https://gyazo.com/fab1cfffe64c2c88b673ee0a91cc1c2c https://gyazo.com/45df1234d7ccaf5163a7066ae04998b6 https://gyazo.com/575046ef0de6b41006fcf2506a8df24d https://gyazo.com/1e098f2b84b61417821616d70795ee4f https://gyazo.com/37d2fd62c07773139e37b1e75fcae1b0 I am running the following: RX 550 from powercolor A B450M DS3H Motherboard from gigabyte A 500w psu non modular from coolermaster a 7200rpm HDD from seagate 2tb a coolermaster masterbox lite 3.1 case (MATX) and the stock 120mm fans i believe. Bear in mind im using a Samsung 32" smart hd TV to run this on. (My only thought is because its on such a big screen its more harder for the parts, but it was still fairly loud on one 24" monitor also from Samsung) The temps do stay around 32-33 degrees C when not in use i haven't saw them with gaming loads though, I'll check that out and get back on the forum. Any help would be appreciated as this is really odd and it would be amazing to see a fix for this as it's pretty annoying with the sound but at the same time i'm not in the mood to burn my whole PC down into a big puddle of brick and sadness. Stay safe people and thanks to anyone that can help.

When I change my CPU fan speed in my BIOS, it works fine for a while, but then if I shut it down and restart it it resets itself. How do I set it so that it actually saves over shut downs and restarts? I need to do this so that my PC can be quiter when doing homework. I am using a Ryzen 5 3400g with stock cooler, on a MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX Motherboard. This is what shows up in my BIOS, if it helps:

I have an MSI GP75 Leopard SFK-219 with an i7-10750H and RTX 2070. I am having issues with being able to adjust fan speeds. It's either stuck at idle speed (3000 rpm) or I can press the fan turbo button next to the keyboard and it goes up to 6400 rpm. No matter what settings I change or what fan curves I set, the fans do not change speed with rising temps. It only changes if I press the turbo button. Tried changing settings in bios, in MSI Dragon Center (uninstalled after I tried since I know it's resource heavy), manually changing speed in Silent Option does nothing. I'm out of ideas so any help would be appreciated.

Recently I decided to update my graphics card on the cheap so I decided to go with an rx 480 8gb I bought it off of ebay started it up everything was fine except the fan speed of the gpu is very slow around 800rpm too slow so i tried to increase its speed through radeon settings that didn't work so I cleaned it out and tried again still too slow , so I put a bit of load on it and the card got really hot really quick just wondering what the problem could be as there isnt any noticeable fan noise coming from the card itself

Hello, I upgraded my graphics card from GTX 970 to RTX 2060 Super and have noticed that my CPU fan tends to jump from ~1700 RPM to ~2500 RPM fairly often even when I'm not really doing anything (e.g. opening file explorer, etc.). CPU temperature doesn't seem to go above 73 C. Is it expected for the CPU fan to ramp up often even when neither it nor the graphics card are under load? I swapped back to GTX 970 just to check and the CPU fan doesn't seem to ramp up frequently like it does with the RTX 2060 Super. I have Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks!

I don't think the temperature that i am getting ingame is ok, i get 70 degrees celcius in valorant, 75 in gta5 and 60 in csgo. Oh, and the fan speed wont go under 59% even while idle, i saw that more people have this problem like mine with the fan speed, can i do anything to cool my pc better?, I do not have any case fans, how much would they help if i had? I have a gtx 1650super gigabyte oc with 1fan i5 9400f 8gb ram

Hello, Yesterday I installed my new GTX 1650 S OC 4GB (Gigabyte), but I cant configure the fan to run lower than 59% fan speed, neither with MSI Afterburner, nor with Aorus Engine. Any Suggestions to get lower fan speeds are welcome. Thanks

I have a zamlan z9 neo and i want to know if there is any program what i can controll the fans speed

Hey there! I'm having some issues with my Asus Z170M-Plus motherboard! I have an i7 7700k on it, currently clocked at 5GHz which it runs just fine. I do have an Arctic Liquid Freezer 240mm AIO Cooler which provides enough cooling for the Kaby Lake chip to operate under safe boundaries. However, my mainboard seems to think otherwise. Whenever the CPU gets hit with a short load (like opening up a programm) the CPU Fans turn on 100% (which is quite loud). Also: When the CPU hits 75°C (which is still safe, imho), which it only barely does, the fans ramp up to 100% percent aswell. I can't change the 75°C Limit. Not in the BIOS and also not in Fan Expert. 75°C seems to be the limit which is actually ridiculous, because the CPU could easily take more without taking damage. Has anyone ever run into that problem? Is there any fix? Do I have a chance to get around it? I already tried SpeedFan, but it's unable to set the fan speeds at all! I hope someone can help me! Thanks in advance! rabiet

Should I keep the CPU fan at 100% at all times, or create a fan curve for the fan?
