Lucky for me, I got a MSI motherboard and your vid really helped me with reducing the noise of my new PC. I have no idea why Smart Fan Mode isn't factory default.
I'm going to try this. I have the torrent fractal case w/ the build in Fan Hub along with my z690 MSI motherboard. My fans feel super loud right even when I'm browsing through the internet.
Thank you you so much, literally the exact video I was looking for. However, I have one question, what if you have 4 pin fans connected to a hub that connects to the motherboard with a 3 pin connector. Are the fans now PWM or DC?
So I can adjust the fan speed of each individual fan header in BIOS? What if i have a splitter, will the header control both fans to be set to the same speeds?
the header lets you control the PWM/voltage, so yes if you have a fan splitter the fans will run at the same PWM/voltage (if they're the same type of fan then they will be at the same speed/RPM +/-, but if they're different fans they will be running at the same PWM/voltage which may not be the same speed/RPM.) typical headers can only handle 1.0 amps, so depending on the fan and how many amps it requires will limit how many fans can be on 1 header. hope that helps
MSI afterburner is for the GPU. So you're trying to control the GPU fans? That is what you're trying to do install drivers and then restart your computer and see if that helps.
@@HardwareForGamers first of all, thank you for help bro, it's MSI, and I tried msi afterburn and speedfan, but they can't detect the fans, and they don't show the fan tab
ever since i updated to windows 11. my ram speed went back to default, fan speed went back to default and when i try to change it, it only boot loops and reverts the changes. why does this happen to me?
Okay, it's a fairly old motherboard, but there should be a monitor tab along the top. Now I haven't see Asus UEFI BIOS in along time so I'm not sure how much I can help, sorry.
Need help! I have four coolermaster sickleflow 120 argb and 3 of them the speeds can be control but 1 of them are running at 2400rpm and i tried changing it at bios but doesn't work and it show in the table on right no matter wht temps the speed is the same.Is plugged in into the cpu_fan header.
I have an older Fractal Design case that has a manual fan speed switch built into the case's control panel with 3 speed modes. While the PC is turned on i can increase the fan speeds via the switch, but if i try to lower the speed the PC crashes. Always wondered why that is. The fans are DC i believe.
I have a feeling if you're using jargon like POST, then it's not likely this was made for a beginner. and thus likely someone knows how to change their fan. But if targeted towards, beginners, I'd recommend (unsolicited) staying away from jargon. Because this is useful I actually had a couple people who I recommended this to mention they weren't even sure of some of the early description and gave up. just my $0.02
I kind of get what you're saying, but how do you explain a POST without using POST?? The initial system check performed by the system at boot up... Wouldn't that be just as complicated as using the word POST, or am I wrong?
@@HardwareForGamers You explain how to do it. I had to search a significant additional amount of time to know how to enter "POST" when it could have easily been explained, in 3 seconds, here. Another video said "spam delete when restarting" and that's all I needed to know.
Great Video. The problem I'm having is my PUMP 1 in my BIOS is showing 3000+ RPM, it's a 3 pin AIO plugged into a 4 pin connector. when I switch my PUMP 1 to DC mode my cpu temps immediately shoot up and climb from 28C degrees C to 50C degrees+! I then put it right back into PMW and the temps lower back to normal and everything is fine, but im still stuck with the loud 3000+RPM fans that are on my AIO... any advice?
