Question ASUS RTX 3060 fan RPM problem

[DPU]

Hi,

I've bought an ASUS RTX 3060 (single fan) and noticed the default fan RPM was at 40% and more importantly it didn't even change when I stress tested my gpu. So I installed Afterburner and created a custom step curve which had 30% lowest speed and started exponentially rising from 45C and above. Also noticed the fan speed is almost same at 1740RPM at 30%-45% fan.
So, why the default fan profile was that? And also, is step curve better? Because with continuous curve the fan is constantly changing RPM.

It probably has its bios set to ignore any input for fan control under 40%. That is what the card maker probably determined is the best setting for the card for cooling.
