It's up to you then to decide which mode you prefer. With other sensor, fans will raise slower and also run at that speed for longer even when CPU doesn't have the load anymore as the temperature in case will still remain for a while. Fan can fluctuate a lot more with CPU based which can be annoying sometimes if you can hear fan ramping up during 100% CPU load, but instantly falling down as soon as load drops. It can either be CPU based and quickly responds to temperature differences or you can set it to be based on motherboard temperature (case air temperature) which responds slower and ensures certain ambient temperatures. You can also define what's the temperature sensor used for the fan curve. And when you find a sweet spot, that's what you'll keep basically forever, it's fully automated from then on. In a nutshell, you can adjust the fan curve for your system to be dead silent under low loads, but can ramp up the fans very high during intense gaming when things heat up.
MSI FAN CONTROL SOFTWARE PC
You can latter virtually position your fans in MSI Control Center to know about their positions in PC case. In my case SYSFAN2 corresponds for two front F12 PWM fans. If you have a PWM fan splitter 1-in-2 like I have, SYSFANx will correspond for two fans connected to that particular connector. If you don't, check 4-pin (SYSFAN1, SYSFAN2, SYSFAN3) connectors along with wires connected to them to find out which fan is connected to which connector. If you assembled components by yourself, you should know which fan in your PC case is fan 1 (System 1), fan 2 and fan 3. It will show 0 RPM values for fans that are not installed and, logically, you cannot set values for dot 2 (blue) lower that for dot 1 (dark blue) etc. At the same time it shows you current values on the right side for all fans as well as fans RPM on the upper portion of the screen. It's pretty straightforward since it exactly informs you about the current values when you hold and move the dot. You can set RPM percentage and temperature values as you wish, meaning that you can precisely adjust either RPM percentage or temperature range for a single (1) value. I think that vertical positioning is for RPM and horizontal for temperature. As temperature rises, fans speed-up to a certain "percentage" and vice versa. There's no need for constant adjustment (that would be completely unnecessary), so set one all four dots once for all. Since I'm currently not at home, I'll try to explain by memory. If you want to know anything really specific, fire away and I'll try to answer it for you.Ĭlick to expand.Surely you can control it. ASUS is good, but I think I prefer MSI fan system a bit more. ASUS was just weird and inconsistent, tend to even override BIOS without actually changing data in it), MSI one just works and it's basically a copy of BIOS fan control with option to save/load fan profiles from file to/on disk and fan speed calibration.
MSI FAN CONTROL SOFTWARE MANUAL
In ASUS I had to constantly open up the case and inspect where fans are using the manual because I had to route them all over the place.Īlso, MSI's Control Center software is kinda better than ASUS's Windows software whose name I forgot. A bit more than ASUS actually because fan headers placement on motherboard was better and fans are more easily identifiable inside interface (I basically just look at RPM and name on top where ASUS just has generic fan names with numbers (system fan 1 through 4). Needed a bit re-adjustment from the ASUS system, but I'm liking MSI method a lot. In a way, MSI has easier to use fan control though it lacks some things ASUS has, like pre-selectable Quiet, Standard and Turbo profiles where on MSI, you have to fully set each fan on your own (though default curve ius reasonably well balanced, maybe more on the quiet side actually). I've been on ASUS Sabertooth X99 before and now I'm on MSI X99A Gaming 7. It does not directly correspond to the fan speed % on the left side though (as that would mean 7000 RPM at 100%). If you're long enough in the menu, it'll move from right to left across entire graph. It's not evident since they've been in this menu for 5 seconds apparently, but if you look at the lower right corner of the graph, you'll see something going up to around 2800 RPM. The scale on the right corresponds to real-time (current actual) RPM of the fan.
