Depends on which one you got, my dad got a 800 gaming Laptop and has much better fan control than my 1500 PC

Depend. I got an Old dell gaming laptop that had Bios Fan control issue, i managed to control the fan... and found an Bios update that made the problem reverse... instead of under-powering the fan, it kept it full throttle all the time, which i still had to control the fan my self. I also have a Toshiba Qosmio Gaming Laptop. And yes, i could control the fan. But didn't needed has the system were properly set by default.

[@gateopssss]

Here's few things to notice for both PC and laptop users: Laptop: - Laptops usually overheat in any scenario whether thats gaming or watching youtube (usually happens with cheap-mid laptops with a price tag up to $500, more expensive laptops tend to cool down a device a bit). - Most of laptops may not give you an option to control fan speeds, so that may be the very reason why you cannot change it in MSI afterburner as well. PC: - GPU's idle temperature should be between 30-45. Anything higher while idling is a bit of a problem and you should probably replace the thermal paste and clean the GPU a bit, remove all the dust you find in there. GPU's temperature while gaming tend to rise above 60 celcius in most cases which cause the fan to spin faster which makes it louder as well. If the temperature is above 80, consider lowering settings or putting a frame limit. That way you won't stress the GPU as much and you will increase it's lifespan. - If by any reason you gotta find a way to lower the temperature (like for crypto miners), your best bet would be lowering the core/memory clocks or lowering the voltage (i would highly recommend to unexperienced/newbies to ignore the voltage part. If you really wanna do it, maybe do a research on google first). - Aftermarket coolers/watercooling solutions tend to help a ton on GPU's, but i'd rather recommend these 2 options only to the more expensive GPUS for cooling. Buying expensive coolers/watercoolers on cheap gpus, like seriously?

[@jjjjjj9410]

@GateOP so 60 to 63° constantly is a good temp im fairly new to the pc scene and noticed my gpu fan is not spinning but my cpu fan is turned up pretty high .

[@gateopssss]

@@jjjjjj9410 GPU fan maybe not turning because it didnt reach a certain temperature, so it's not required. Now, if you are saying that your gpu is at 60° (hopefully on load, since that temperature on idle isn't good) and the fan is not turning, well... it should be turning. Most GPUs fans start to spin after 45° in most cases. Now if you're saying that your CPU is reaching that temperature, its fine as long as it is in that range. If the fan noise is disturbing you, you could always clean the computer a bit, search on the internet to replace your thermal paste on the CPU (make sure theres no warranty, you could make a mistake as a newbie).

[@markuskumpulainen6742]

And after this everyone should lower their voltages and that will lower temps a lot. Just use some benchmark software every time you lower voltages and whats when your frames start to lower lime 5 or above, then dont lower voltages anymore.

[@Tony-nl6pf]

Guys make sure to look at the fans. For some reason my fans randomly went to zero when I applied the curve, card started heating up. Must have been a bug, I uninstalled then reinstalled and it worked.

Same thing happened to me. Turned out I had accidentally left the "auto" button off and the manual fan speed at 0. Also, the line before the first point seems to actually be 0%. Correct me if I'm wrong.

How do i change the color from white to another color on the MSI afterburner controller? I see that yours is on red. I have the settings to default. I’m just worried of damaging the fans. When i hear the GPU fan go faster and hear it, (Not a bad way) I’m worried about damaging it. So what should i have the settings on? I have my fans on default mode on the MSI afterburner software and I have CPU and GPU ASUS cooling fans software and controls the lights inside. Turbo mode, Balance, Windows, Manual ( CPU and GPU both fans are on Auto mode. But should I go on Balance mode or no? Turbo mode is what speeds way up the CPU fan and it’s max RPM is like 3,900 RPM. Idle speed of quietness speed is 1,600 RPM and my 2 GPU fans is like 1,200 RPM max i think. I have top intake. Bottom exhaust out on bottom of back. and it runs super quiet a lot when it’s being on 1,600 rpm idle and 1,100 something rpm is quiet too. You can’t even hear them being in idle. The big CPU fan is like a turbofan and that sounds so badass like awesome on how it sounds like a jet speeding up to lift up off ground. Then like 15 seconds or so it slows way down to its idle speed (1,600 exact. When it goes max speed it goes up to 3,900 RPM. The 1979 Cessna 182 Skyhawk plane i sometimes fly goes max 1,000 exact RPM. That’s crazy of how quiet these CPU and GPU fans can be super quiet. When I restart my desktop gaming computer, once it’s back on all the fans go full speed for like 10 or 12 or 15 Seconds long. 2 or 3 GPU Fans, 1 CPU fan. The CPU fan is what sounds like a Airbus A319 or A320 the newer engines above
