Am i a madman for using this fan curve?

    That’s less aggressive than my fan curve

    ur probably deaf and dont care about things wearing out faster.

    do you drive your car everywhere at red line rpm?

    Depends on where your idle temps generally are. My curve is similar but slightly more curvy. Also, so you don’t murder your fans, set your hysteresis to at least 3°

    It depends on the fans, but generally that’s not an ideal curve for optimal noise/cooling

    honestly similar to mine my fans aren’t that loud and they’ve lasted 5 years and fans are cheap anyways lol

    That’s essentially what I end up though mine has more finesse. At 70c those spinny boys better be screaming, 50c or less I don’t want to hear a whisper

    Nah, you can do what you want. Mine is setup to provide an audible reminder that it’s getting too warm.

    No fan below 30C so the line starts vertical.

    Then a line from 30% at 30C fans to 70% at 70C

    Then a vertical line at 70C to 90%

    Then a line to 100% at 80C.

    Like this, when it hits 70C the fan speed will bump up for a second, so I will know, and I can adjust settings.

    That’s about what I use only I start at 36 instead of 40 and too out at 80%. I add a point at 40c to go 60% then taper like yours. I honestly have never hit the 40c mark so I have no idea if the slope is effective. At 36c my fans go 60% then flat to 40c and a slope after that . 2 420mm rads are enough that I’ve never seen above 36-37c

    No, you just like loud hardware for some reason.

  10. If 100% isn’t annoying, not really.

    I use 35% then at 65C ramps up to 65%. 

    I much prefer having 2 fan steps.

    I use a similar setting but slide max over a bit further so it doesn’t hit 100% until 80 degrees since my CPU isn’t going to thermal throttle below that temp.

    I have a similar curve in my system and I never hear my pc. Both cpu and gpu are almost always under 60 degrees and silent.

    Is this “curve ” in the room with us rn?

  14. SupernovaSurprise

    I mean if it works for you then have at it. Personally I never let my fans get to 100% speed. I’m kinda picky about noise, so I don’t ever want to hear my computer

    I set my fan curves. Idle at 20-30% fan speed at 30C.
    10 degrees up from there.
    Once at 60-70C then Increase the slope and max it out at 80-90C.

    Normally never going past 60+70C.
    So I know if I can suddenly hear my fans something is going wrong.

    7700x btw.

    People saying 70C is still OK while I never want to go beyond 60 since my balls are melting

    Do you use the bios or a software in the OS?
