I just set my fan curves(more aggressive as temps get higher) in the BIOS.
The two lower points for nice and quiet, and the second two points at a steep curve for intensive use:
Temperature |
Procent Speed |
20°C |
20% |
40°C |
50% |
60°C |
80% |
70°C |
100% |
This is for my CPU, rear exhaust, and the three at the top. three bottom intake are hooked up directly to my PSU, and max at only 1000 rpm, and are totally silent(let that air flow
).
I used to use the MSI Command Center to do the controlling, but since the Creators Update it was buggy as hell(changing fan settings on it's own, and the portion to look at RAM info/change SPD settings didn't work any more) so I uninstalled the crap, and now just use BIOS, and let it control everything. Just forget 3rd party crap, and set it & forget it, it works well for me, when benching, my fans ramp up, and without anya extra background program using memory or CPU inside of Windows.
I can open AIDA64 and check things though, if need be.
