Is your Graphics card getting too hot, or just too noisy? In this video, you'll learn how to control the speed of your fans, as well as set a fan curve to get even finer control over how the graphics card manages its heat and noise.

thank you so much, my GPU was running at 100 degrees f and now its at like 70 or so, thanks so much!

Even though I don't really need that, this is still an absolutely splendid tutorial. Your videos are always so high-quality, especially the ones about compiling libs such as openssl were incredibly helpful. Thank you

i get very scared when i change the speed because it gets louder and i feel like it’s gonna explode

[RonaldM]

if you use the Radeon graphics card and it's application then you can change your fan settings in there you have to go to Performance > Tuning > on the right side of the "Tuning Control" panel hit "Custom" > Enable fan tuning below that > Enable "Advanced Control" and then you can edit your fan speed in there

as of the moment I am typing this i cant do any of that because the fan tab in settings is gone

Thank you for this high quality tutorial! very easy to follow. Just a question though, has anyone figured out what will happen if you enable both the auto and user mode at the same time?

Edit: I seem to have found the following by clicking around.
Only Auto Enabled: Default card settings
Auto & User Enabled: Your fan curves
Only User Enabled: The slider fan speed
None Enabled: Also the slider fan speed

My 3080 suprim x was 77 C When i play warzone now 60-65 thank you!

[MarkoMakarevic]

thank you brother, I have a graphics rtx 3060, I bought a computer in a store, after a few months after I bought it, it started giving me problems and it got very hot, and when I downloaded the application that you showed, it turned out that the fans were blocked up to 40% speed thank you

For anyone that doesn’t want to upgrade cooling tech, I’d recommend Undervolting GPU in MSI prior to relying on Fans to provide extra cooling

Is there a way to know the default fan curve from the factory?

[Megalink]

Nice video but your instructions are misleading. You actually have to make sure "Auto" is radio dialed after you set the fan curve to your liking. If you leave "Auto" unselected, the fan is going to go off whatever the slider is set to manually. After that, you can select "User Defined" (it will have a green border if enabled) and hit "Apply" at that point. I also hit "Save" and then select one of the profiles to keep the changes.

1st thing i do in the settings is to uncheck the tooltips and hints it is really annoying, thank you for the video

[Games-flid]

How comes that I don't see the same options at all? The entire Fan section isn't in options at all. (along with other options you seem to have) I only see "General" "monitoring" "profiles" "user interface" as tabs in options.

watched my gpu temp drop like 5 degrees as soon as I hit the apply button, cheers

what the most stable fan speed for 3060 12gb for gameing every video card it start heat up when you play game on steam it get hot

[emrahsuvic]

Thank you for the video, I had no idea what I was doing.

[voidstrider]

for the people that are downloading this to get more fps or something dont but if you do then do some research beforehand . This thing can fry your gpu if you are not careful

[dustinmihalcheon]

Is the base curve you get in the software what the graphics card would do without being altered? Or is it just the base curve for Afterburner?

[-Boone]

Feel like hysteresis and response time could have used a quick explanation, but otherwise, good guide for the basics.

[doveneta]

my gpu fan starts spinning at 50C, how do i change to starts spinning at 55C or 60C, it keeps turning on and off while i'm playing games that dont require too much like roblox or minecraft so i guess this would reduce the time of the card
