  4. Configure the fan curve
  5. Select ‘Apply’

Fan curve (Example)


AMD Adrenalin (Alternative)

An alternative is AMD Adrenalin, but it will respect the vBIOS settings. For that reason, I couldn’t go below the ‘idle pwm’ value and to flash changed vBIOS settings is risky.

Fan control with MSI Afterburner and AMD Adrenalin (full version) can counteract each other. As a consequence, better just install the minimal version of AMD Adrenalin.
