[SOLVED] best cpu fan curve setting?

[froggy8]

hi guys

i cant for some reason find my cpu curve setting on my contents in my profile so i apologize.

i have acquired an msi mpg gaming edge wifi z590 and have had a little play in the bios but it looks so complicated! will need bit of time to get used to it.

anyway could someone tell me what curve setting i should havae on my cpu cooler fan? i am not bothered about bit of noise as long as i can keep the cpu cool enough to prolong its life.

many thanks

Set it to whatever helps you sleep at night. There's no right or wrong answer as long as you're not pushing the temperatures close to 100C

would it be ok to set it to auto?

Try it out, run some benchmarks like Cinebench 23, and see if you're comfortable with it

thank you, i have tried Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility and the temps went up to 65. is that good temp?

What is your cpu and cooler?
Do not worry too much about cpu temperatures.
The processor monitors it's own temperature and will slow down or shut off if it detects a dangerous temperature.
That is around 100c.
I would not worry if your heaviest load is 85c.
But, for the best turbo performance, you really want to keep temperatures to 70c.

For cpu longevity, the thing to control is voltage.
High voltage is what will reduce the life span of a processor.
Overclocking increases voltages and you may inadvertently get a dangerous voltage.

Fan speed is a trade off between airflow and noise.
Set the curve so that you do not hear the fan at idle or normal desktop operations.
The motherboard defaults are likely a good place to start.

Leave it on auto the motherboard does a good job by itself, nothing needs to be adjusted.

vetroo v5 is a good cooler for the price.
It is plenty for a i5-11600

many thanks guys, puts my mind at ease.

i really do like the new motherboard but jut got 1 issue which i have made another thread.
