The CPU fan controller uses the "CPU Tctl" temperature (you can see this in HWInfo) to adjust fan speeds. The important part here is that running the CPU and GPU fans together (at a lower speed) is more effective at cooling the CPU than running the CPU fan at full blast. This was a crucial piece of information that I was missing before, and it has helped me optimize my fan curves and improve my temps immensely. The CPU and GPU fans cool each other! By this I mean that the CPU fan helps cool the GPU, and the GPU fan helps cool the CPU. If you're unsure or run into issues, set it to 100/150 and 120/200, as those are the default OC values in Turbo mode. YMMV with the GPU overclock I suspect mine was causing some hijinks. You should be able to safely max out your GPU overclock I was hesitant about doing this at first but I've had no problems since doing it and I haven't heard of anyone else having problems either. After following these instructions, reboot again and your Service should auto-update to 2.7.10 To update the Service, refer to this thread I made on how to update your Armoury Crate Service. To update the UWP app, uninstall your current version of Armoury Crate from the Start menu, then go into the Microsoft Store and download Armoury Crate (Beta). Make sure your Armoury Crate UWP app and Armoury Crate Service are fully updated! As of the time of writing, the latest version of the app is 2.7.13, and the latest version of the Service is 2.7.10. Please adjust to your liking :)Īlright, so here's what I know about Armoury Crate's manual fan control mode: And while my fans are louder than Turbo mode under load, they are not that much louder and more than reasonable IMO.ĮDIT 3: Note that not every unit will have the same thermal performance, so YMMV with using my personal fan curves. To get your attention, let me say this: My current fan curve is quieter than Turbo mode on idle (web browsing, video playback, etc.) and keeps my CPU below 90C (around 85C average) in Fortnite when previously I was averaging about 95C on Turbo.
It's taken me a few days to fully learn everything I needed to know about this stuff, and this should be my last thread on the subject (I will try to update it with any new information I learn from here on out). As a preface, I know this is my third consecutive post on manual fan curves.
