I have cpu cooler and 2 intake case coolers and 2 outake? case coolers. When I go to bios I can only see the cpu fan speed. I think that all the fans are connected together or something bacause everything is running at the same speed(the case fans are pretty loud). I never played around with fans but since I have a new pc I want to make it quieter because this noise is driving me insane.

Check if your fans are connected to a 4 pin fan header on the motherboard. Many newer motherboards have the ability to adjust fan curves, what motherboard do you have? Alternatively, you can use a program like fancontrol to adjust your fan curves to potentially make it quieter.

I have asus prime b550M-A wifi II. I have tried configuring the fans in bios on my own but it's still noisy. I have 2 fans up front for the intake and 1 outtake fan. there are 3 options in asus bios for configuring fans there is cpu fans and then are 2 more options that are labeled "something" 1 and "Something" 2. I don't know how these fans are wired because I bought this pc built from enother guy that is also pretty geeked when It comes to pc and he built it very nicely. BUT when I was fideling around with fans and testing I don't know to what the back fan is configured to. I just might have to leave it at that and take the pc off my desk and put it on floor. becase at this moment the pc is very close to me. I didn't expect that better pc components need so much cooling. I was running a rig with ryzen 2700 and rtx 2060 oc before and that pc was quite, but it was also running stock ryzen cooler. and the case didn't have as many ventilators.

This is all I get when auto setting up fan control. I wanna know what are all this fans that are showing up I certainly don't have that many and only the cpu cooler speed changes when you change the speed manualy.

Does your fans have a connection to the motherboard or is it connected to just a power source? eg. molex or sata

I will check when I have time and i will give a a reply. The graphics card is large and cpu cooler too so I have to unplug the pc and check the wiring with flashlight or something.

There are 3 thermaltake TT-1225 fans. The wiring on this thing at the back is like spaggeti so i can’t tell where anything is going but i can tell you that 1wire goes in cha_fan 2. Im pretty sure the fans use 3pin power connectors and other 3 pin connectors from each fan is for argb.

They are indeed 3 pin fans. In that case, you will need to go into the bios and find the setting to change the fan control mode from PWM to voltage.

I did change the cha_fan 2 to Dc and set up a custom curve it's sad that you can't change the curve a bit more tho.It's quiter now but it will probably be loud when the temps go up when playing a game. Do you recomend any other cooling solution for upgrade in the future. I have ryzen 5800x and rx 6750 xt.

What cpu cooler do you currently have? Replacing those thermaltake 3 pin fans, with pwm controllable fans would likely reduce the noise.
