    Once again the Linux community is left out. Ah well.

    What if I’m happy with my stock settings? What can you possibly improve in RTX 3060 with custom settings of anything?

    I have a laptop gtx 980m so it seems I can’t adjust the fan settings using gpu tweak III, as seen in the screenshot:

    What I would do if I had the option to would be to lower fan speeds as much as possible in the low temp range to minimize the sound they make during everyday use. Then have them ramp up quickly to keep the gpu from throttling when I play any graphically intensive applications.

    [My Fan curve](https://imgur.com/a/D5hkrUW). I chose it because its quieter for longer, although the fans sound really *cool* at full pelt. In addition, it stays quiet but the fans rev up when they reach my uncomfortable range of temperature. When I say uncomfortable, I don’t mean the actual temps for my gpu. I mean the room temp when it is chilling at 70*c and its cooking me alive.

    Well, I technically have a custom fan mode, but I always put it on max, I don’t care about the sound but I’m really afraid of my cpu or GPU being “too hot”.

    I don’t really care about silent – got a personal fan going in my room anyways due to heat. Made the curve a bit aggressive – rather my gpu run cool than lower volume. Don’t think I typically hit 80C, but if I do I want the fans at 100%.

    I use a custom loop so I don’t have Fans on my GPU.

    So: 0% all the way

    I updated my fan setting to not kick on until around 40 degrees Celcius to try and keep down noise from my GPU fan when I’m not putting my PC under any load. Then after 40 degrees I have the fan speed slowly increase up to 20% until the GPU hits 70 degrees and have it durastically increase fan speed all the way up to 100% if it gets close to 90 degrees. My thoughts are if its hitting 70 degrees then I’m probably playing games and actually putting some load on my GPU at that point and need to start trying to bring the temps down. And if I’m playing games, I will definitely have my headset on and won’t notice noise from my GPU fans at that point.

    Not much to say tbh. I rarely see (or I guess hear) the the upper ends of this curve because the cooler on the XFX Merc 319 is huge and my undervolt from the last post is doing a lot of work to make the card run cool despite also being overclocked. For some reason my brain picked 80 C as the temp to stay below so the curve ramps more aggressively as we near it, but again, that’s more of a failsafe if anything lol.

    I went with more aggressive curves and higher fan speeds when I was doing benchmarking and overclocking for fun, but for my day-to-day settings this is a good balance.
