Thomas Peterson · October 16, 2023

Haha I am in your same situation currently no sensor input on the b650-p wifi, I just bought a Quadro Fan controller and will use that. I would be annoyed that I had to spend extra on it but I still put together my system really cheap with the deal microcenter had on this motherboard. And the Quadro seems like a better controller than the built in MSI one.

I havent gotten it yet, I have just been running it at around 2500 with a ramp to full when cpu temp hits 75C, and gaming I have not seen more than 60C on my setup so I am not too worried, But we will see.
