Hello,

i finally caved and updated my bios after my pc kept shutting down the monitors and video card randomly. I thought i was smart and took pictures of everything needed but of course apparently the bios settings reset after updating it for some stupid reason and i did not take pictures of the fan settings the guy who built my pc set so it went from quiet and loud when working hard to always loud and it feels like its hotter (even though it says its only around 40) and im probably imagining it but it smells burnt (even though the pc was on at most 15-20m) and i swear i had more fans to customize but now its back to cpu 1 and pump 1 after hitting default settings after being stupid with the fans and panicking.

The guy who fixed my pc seems to have been gone for 10 days from the platform whwre i bought his services no help there no atm and i want to use my pcI have a MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard with the newest bios, a Fractal Design Pop XL Air RGB - White TG Clear Tint with stock fans in stock position and an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB mounted with the fans shooting hot air up.

Can anyone edit the screenshots and make red dots where i should place these curves and what sort of dc/wmp setting i should have. I mostly play games with little else. Im very sorry for asking but im very bad with this stuff, very afraid of damaging anything and have no funds to replace anything
Link to settings

The games are rust, stellaris max settings, Mc modded or vanilla, skyrim heavily modded, projekt zomboid or elden ring
 
Im well aware but its so noisey now its unusuable to do anything on so i need the noise lower
Which exact CPU ? Most of Ryzen new gen are good up to 90-95c without throttling so on that AIO cooler I would set maximum fan speed at those temps depending on CPU.
With 7900x and same AIO cooler I set fan curve in straight line, from minim RPM at 50c to maximum at 95c. Also set fan function to PWM instead of auto.

My other important components are
ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER ProArt OC - 16GB GDDR6
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
I would happily pay if you could draw on the images as i dont understand

Tjmax aka highest temp is 89c and has 120W TDP so that cooler should cool it at half power. Radiator fan speed is not determining factor, I could even shut one down or slow all to 1000 Rpm without temperature raising. Pump on the other hand is more important and should run at full speed all the time. It's possible it's not installed properly and with proper TIM
You can adjust fan speed curve by dragging those points up and down, Try setting max RPM at 1000Rpm and check temps, any under 89c would be fine and at that rpm they are virtually quiet.

I dont understand like 90% of this, ill try to decipher it. Thanks though!

Can you show a photo of your system with side panel removed?

You have to find out, what fan connectors your fans are using.
Depending on fan connectors, they get regulated differently.
3pin fans get regulated in DC mode.
4pin fans get regulated in PWM mode.
You have to adjust fan settings in BIOS accordingly or fans will not be regulated properly.

Unfortunately it's not easy for us to modify a set of photos and upload here. But I CAN refer you to the right manuals and specific pages on-line. Your problem appears to be mainly the CASE Ventilation fans. Get the BIOS manual for that mobo here

https://download-2.msi.com/archive/mnu_exe/mb/AMDAM5BIOS.pdf

You seem to know how to get into BIOS Setup, so go to p. 45 of that manual. I believe the case has four fans, and from your post I suspect each is plugged into its own individual SYS_FAN header. (Your mobo has six of these.) So in BIOS Setup you get to the screen on p. 45. Then you need to make a setting for EACH of the four SYS_FAN headers you are using. On that screen, select one of them at upper right. Then at upper left in the Mode box select DC, not PWM or AUTO. Below that for each ensure that the Temperature Source is set to mobo, not to CPU. Repeat for the other case fans. This should get the four case fans to slow down to what they need to do, rather than full speed all the time.

Next, just to be sure about the CPU cooler settings, go to the CPU1 and PUMP1 headers. For each, ensure the Mode is set to PWM, not DC or AUTO and that their Temperature Source is CPU.

When all these are set, use the F10 key to reach an Exit Menu (p.24). There choose Save Changes and Reboot.
