r/FanControl

HI all,

I have a MSI PRO A620M-E motherboard, I recently purchased an Asus ProArt PA401 Chassis. But the Fans are at full speed all the time. The physical chassis button is on auto, I've tried plugging the controller in both System fan 1 and 2 on the motherboard. The BIOS doesn't detect it, neither does the control center. I've tried a BIOS update as well. It went quiet for a bit then after a restart it went jet engine again. I generally sleep with my PC on but I can't even stand to sit by it. I'm using my laptop because it's unbearable. I'm about to move the parts back to the old chassis... Does anyone have any suggestion on what I could be overlooking? Here's to hoping it's something silly that I am overlooking.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to fine-tune my fan settings for a quieter system while still keeping good thermals. I’d really appreciate if someone could share their fan curves or recommendations.

My setup:

• Case: DeepCool MATREXX 55 V3 ADD-RGB 3F
• Front intake: 3 stock DeepCool case fans
• Rear exhaust: 1× ARCTIC P12 Pro PST CO
• Top: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 240 (AIO, exhaust) (on the top side)
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 TUF Gaming
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (6-core)

What I’m aiming for:

• As quiet as possible during idle / light usage
• Stable temperatures under gaming load (not chasing max OC, just stability)
• Avoid aggressive fan ramping / sudden noise spikes

Questions:

• What fan curve do you recommend for the AIO pump + radiator fans?
• Should the rear exhaust be kept very low RPM or follow GPU/CPU temps?
• Any BIOS or software settings you’d suggest for smoothing fan response?
• Is it better to prioritize case airflow or let the AIO handle most of the thermal load?

If anyone with a similar setup could share their curves (BIOS screenshots or %/°C values), that would be really helpful.

At the moment my setup on fan control looks like this:

Also, one more thing I noticed that I’m not sure is normal:

I had to disable the Smart Mode in the BIOS for the AIO fans because otherwise it kept interfering and made the fans ramp up for no reason, even after I adjusted the curve there. Now it always starts at 100% until FanControl takes over. Is this bad, and is there no other way?

Please be kind; I only started dealing with this yesterday.

I've been using it for over a year now and never had an issue with it
But toady it there where only my graphic cards shown, not the fans

Does Fan Control still require WinRing0? I had WinRing0 as an exception in my antivirus until just the other night. I was under the impression Fan Control moved on from WinRing0 to Pawn. However, after removing the exception and Windows quarantining WinRing0, Fan Control is unable to find a lot of my sensors. When I search this reddit, I found a post from 6 months ago with similar errors with the solution of keeping WinRing0 as an exception.

Edit: Fan Control 2.70 is definitely still using WinRing0, at least on my machine. I restored WinRing0 from quarantine, and Fan Control 2.70 can see all these sensors again.

My motherboard is Gigabyte x670e Aorus Master. It has two controllers, IT8689E and IT8792E. Fan Control 2.70 with only PawnIO can only see IT8689E. Fan Control with WinRing0 can also see IT8792E.

There is a third controller, EC (I think embedded controller?), but Fan Control has never been able to access that and still cannot

Hey guys, so when I turn on my asus laptop fans on performance mode for few seconds my fans are being used 100%, but after while they are getting lower and my game stuttering of that. Any way to turn to have fans always on 100%? Sorry for bad english

Hello. If anyone is knowledgeable on the area I really need some help please. My 3 front fans on pc aren't spinning and the rgb lights aren't working but my other fans work perfectly fine. Anyone have a fix? I've tried software updates, shutting the pc down and draining the power etc still nothing. Would really appreciate any help

Hey, I've got an RTX 3080 Afox version (Turbo), it runs extremely loud even on idle.

During Furmark the turbine reaches 4300 RPMat 65 degrees, at idle it's 35C at 3500 rpm. It's unbelievably loud. Like a small car. MSI AB doesn't do anything.

Do you have any ideas how to deal with this?

Since it's summer, my PC started having often fan spikes to cool down. I tend to not play demanding games but since my PC isn't the best and is about seven years old, it's handling the temeperatures poorly.

Never the less, I haven't had (pernament) problems yet... Untill now. After one fan spike, my graphics card's fan started "dragging" or whatever you wanna call it. In other words - it's buzzing and I can hear it "scratching" onto something.

I've just cleaned the dust and vacumed it and luckily, it stopped buzzing (as hard). Now I still hear it but barely. I'm worried it might get damaged. Any thoughts, tips or ideas?

So im new to using afterburner and im worried its fan settings will try to override or fight with my fancontrol settings

the *beautiful and totally not over the top fancurves* (trademark pending) im trying to keep.

just recently connected a double fan connector for my 2 exhaust fans in the back and top due to temperature issues

fan control not working for my 2 aio intake fans in the front and the back. only is my top exhaust fan able to be controlled

my 2 intake fans are connected to a controller connected in the bottom mobo fan header and my double fan header is connected to the rear mobo fan header

fyi the fan control software does have a "!" label on the "backfan"

my theory is due to the double fan header the software believes the 2 fans are one

any tips on how to fix this?

edit: controlling the "backfan" allows the top to be controlled and not the rear fan, no new fan has appeared on the software and there is also a "!" label on fan 3 which i think is the fan for my aio

edit 2 i just set my bios to pwm and still no changes from the software, note that i have identified which fan is not able to be controlled

I think the idle speed is a bit high, and I also think the temperatures are a bit high.

Thanks for the comments; there really was a lot that didn't make sense in the first screenshot. This is how it looks now—I set it to run silently during routine tasks. This screenshot was taken after a gaming session. However, sometimes my rear fan drops to 0 RPM for a second and then starts up again; what could be causing that?

Recently bought Arctic Case Fan Hub for 10 fans and finally installed it. Fan control just doesn't see it at all and it's literally impossible to use my pc now because it's so loud. Are there any plug-ins or anything at all? I'm so confused about all of that and really don't know what to do.
