What is Min acoustic MHz limit and will it be able to slow my fans down?

So I don't know why but in certain games sometimes my fan speeds ramp up quite high for no specific reason. This was around about 2300RPM and I had to stop there so It probably could go faster. I'm still not sure but is it to do with min acoustic MHz limit or have I got my facts wrong?

That isn’t really how that works. Fan RPM goes by temp. So it’s entirely dependent on the temperatures yiur components are hitting and what the fan curves are set to.

 

What are the fans that are ramping up? CPU heatsink, case, GPU?

GPU

You can edit the fan curve to make it lower, but this would also result in slightly less GPU speed. As the temp goes up, the GPU will pull clock speed down to try and stay in its “happy place”. You can also push the thermal limit up, but it still may pull a bit of clock speed. All of this can be done in MSI afterburner.

 

You can also set a static RPM in afterburner. So you could have a preset that you apply when you start gaming that will hold the fan at a specific RPM so you don’t get the annoying fan ramp up and down behavior.
