headache... with fancontroll..... need help...

[Zach_01]

yea im aware of the calibration tool. but i prefer to max out the fans when i game. it would be nice if AMD had fancontroll in there software so i can tie the funcurves to the exe files ( profile) in AMD adrenaline

Assuming the fan curve works, you can set fans to do whatever you want.

For example you can set PCI-E slot1 temp as target for all fans.
First spot the PCI-E slot temperature at idle and the temperature when gaming. Then you set a curve between those 2 temps for low rpm at idle and max rpm for gaming.

AMD and Intel rely on the BIOS for fan curves, sadly, hence 3rd party fan controls.

I found that fan controls by board makers tend to be crapily programed, they might work for a while.


Fan CTRL+, SpeedFan, and a few others, all are always much better choices.

A couple free choices:

be aware that speedfun has bin updated in years... no support for lates hardware

Unfortunately I’m not in front of my PC right now otherwise I could show you how it looks when fans are working properly.

I will in about 6+hours…

I know you did your job with external controller but this may help others to properly set fan control through Gigabyte's SIV.

As I said, first you need to let it calibrate all fans

1. After calibration you must make sure that the %/rpm table is shown on the right:
Green box



If this table is not shown then you can't control the fan through SIV but only from inside BIOS's SmartFan5 (the same way)

2. Second you choose your target temp on the board for each fan:



3. According to temp fluctuation during your tasks you set your desired curve:

It was last updated in 2020. Working fine for me, the prior version died with a win10 update.

bit of a hassle to set every thing manual. and not all fans want to be controlled by the mainboard headers... thats was my bigest problem so far...

Try a program called Argus Monitor.

Here is an example of a 3 pin fan being controlled via the software. (I have two 3 pins fans being being controlled by this software, with two 4 pin fans via bios fan curve).

It ramps up if either the cpu or gpu temp goes up (or both), based on mean temp.

Great little fan control program.
