I know the max rated temperature for my GPU is 92°C, but that doesn’t mean it’s your target temperature!

    I was referring to my laptop so it’s a bit different from a desktop

    However with a desktop usually you have to use the software for your parts to control the fans

    For example my GPU is gigabyte so I have to use their app for GPU fan control

    My motherboard is MSI so I have to use their software for cpu fan and any case fans I attach to the motherboard

    I haven’t looked into it that much so I can’t say for sure but I don’t know of a way to controll all these fans from one place (unless they’re allt he same brand)

      That’s not true at all. Watch the video I linked. You can control CPU fan, GPU fan, and any case fan from this one elegant piece of software. And you can establish fan curves based on thermostats. So for example, with high CPU load and low GPU load, normally your CPU would hotbox your whole system; with this you can tell your GPU fan to ramp up based on CPU temps to get ahead of heat soak and start ventilating more before the GPU ever sees that heat.

        Sorry I don’t have time to watch the whole thing and didn’t check it out beforehand

        That’s cool I hope it works
