I haven’t tried it myself yet, but Fan Control looks incredibly promising. I keep going back and forth about whether it makes sense to build a desktop, so I’m just gathering lots of info for whenever I finally pull the trigger lol.
I was referring to my laptop so it’s a bit different from a desktop
However with a desktop usually you have to use the software for your parts to control the fans
For example my GPU is gigabyte so I have to use their app for GPU fan control
My motherboard is MSI so I have to use their software for cpu fan and any case fans I attach to the motherboard
I haven’t looked into it that much so I can’t say for sure but I don’t know of a way to controll all these fans from one place (unless they’re allt he same brand)
That’s not true at all. Watch the video I linked. You can control CPU fan, GPU fan, and any case fan from this one elegant piece of software. And you can establish fan curves based on thermostats. So for example, with high CPU load and low GPU load, normally your CPU would hotbox your whole system; with this you can tell your GPU fan to ramp up based on CPU temps to get ahead of heat soak and start ventilating more before the GPU ever sees that heat.
Lol this is my gaming laptop if I don’t disable Intel Turbo boost
Meanwhile the fans are at like 15%
If I put the fans on full blast manually it sounds like a jet engine taking off
And the temps are still at 90+ and causing throttling lol
Thankfully there’s throttlestop

Lmao it’s the first sentence of the video
Sorry I don’t have time to watch the whole thing and didn’t check it out beforehand
That’s cool I hope it works
