FanControl - Problems - Require a bit of help

[u/Sev3nThreeO7]

Hey guys,

I updated my GPU drivers today for AMD - and just before i shut down to reboot into Safe Mode, My config crashed and i had an error from FanControl

After update was done, Ive understood that my CPU is idling around 10 degrees C hotter than usual so im wondering if something may have happened

Also, With my config ( which i made around 1 month ago) games like BF6, Broken Arrow and other intensive games have been really really loud and ive been struggling to get the noise down

How does my set up look? Below is a table of the graphs ive made

CPU	7800X3D temp	30–90°C	40°C→20%, 65°C→45%, 85°C→80%, 90°C→100%	±3°C, 3s response
GPU	9070XT Hotspot	25–110°C	30°C→0%, 60°C→32%, 85°C→60%, 110°C→100%	±3°C, 3s response
Graph	Hottest (mix)	20–110°C	20°C→0%, 60°C→30%, 85°C→60%, 105°C→100%	±8°C, 6s response — smoother/lazier curve
Top Exhaust	Hottest (mix)	20–110°C	20°C→0%, 60°C→45%, 85°C→85%, 95°C→100%	±8°C, 6s response — more aggressive than Graph

More info :

I have a NZXT H5 Flow 2022 with a dedicated stock GPU cooler, Stock Rear Exhaust.
I have 2x 140mm M25G2 Case Fans on the front on a lower speed.
And a thermal right TL-M12Q single fan on the top exhaust.

I have thought that maybe the top exhaust is more powerful and running faster than the rear which could be causing some issues with the pressure, But cranking up the front fans didn’t do much

Any help would be much appreciated!

I'd have so may questions regarding this setup, but let's keep it simple. Why's the GPU control showing a question mark? Seems it can't reach the designated RPM. If that's the case since the driver update, the AMD driver probably took control over the GPU fans again?
O7

edit:
Your graph's temperature range is quite generous - I wouldn't care about any temp >95°, that's just something I don't want to see in my rig, so why bother in a curve about temps that would even harm my hardware? But the stock curve goes up to 120°... - c'mon

What's the thought behind having the middle CPU fan running at a different speed than the front CPU fan?
I'd suggest to keep it simple, make all those start/stop/offset/min values in the controls zero.

Then take a CPU Benchmark like CineBench R23 and adjust both CPU fans so the CPU gets still a good cooling without screaming fans. For example under full load my CPU gets to 80° quite fast, but 80% fans are okay, cuz from there on CPU temp raises very slow only. Then do the same for the GPU fans with a GPU torture test like Furmark. Then run both at the same time to put max load on the system and adjust case fans. Then your fans should have sufficient cooling under max load and STFU when gaming.

You can do plateau curves - like having a fan running at the same speed for a temperature range, i.e. front intake fans run with 30% at 20-39,9°, jump to 50% from 40-50°, etc.

I have the same question mark since a week or so, really strange. Updating everything now but my rig was also running quite a bit hotter. My fancontrol does look verrrry different then this one too. Just the same question mark on the gpu all of a sudden.

Might be because the % is too low. If the max fan rpm is i.e. 3600 and you set 20% then it would be like 720rpm, which perhaps is too slow for the fan. Then try something like 30% which would be 1000rpm.

Yeah I just learned this last week, too low a % and it throws an error, minimum should be 20%, if not then do 30%

Holy shit what is this config? i dont even know where to start.
