I have spent a lot of money the past few weeks trying to fix my computer after my old motherboard went. This is not my first build and I am fairly versed with computers.

Hey, y'all! I hope you are doing good! I would love to hear your opinions on AMD's automatic fan curve as I believe it prioritizes noise levels over thermals. The max fan speed is set to 42% by default and I think that this is a bit low for this rather heavy gaming card. The problem is when I...
