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.
