Question Fan configuration help

I recently picked up a new computer (CAD/Gaming). The fans are really loud even when the PC is not under load. I downloaded Fan Control but need some help to dial this in. Would I be better served setting a curve? I am unclear about all of these available temp sources. I don't want my CPU to fry obviously, but the fans impede my ability to field work calls! Specs and Fan Control screens below. Appreciate any insight!

Is your PC prebuilt? Since it sounds like it. If so, any issues you have with your PC, you should take it up with the store where you bought it. Since they have the obligation to provide you customer support.

Also, your fan control software only shows 3 fans, while at minimum, you have 6 fans.
FAN1 most likely is your AIO, whereby RPM could be pump speed. As of where and how the 3x rad fans are controlled, that isn't evident.

Here, it would be good if you can list your AIO make and model. Or the very least, take pics of your build and upload pics to the net, e.g www.imgur.com
Since when we can identify the AIO, we can look into how the rad fans are connected and if there is any control method for them.

Also, look where the 3x front ARGB fans are connected. Just open up the side panels and trace the fan cables back to MoBo.
This is needed to see what kind of control method the front fans have.

Though, i have a feeling that you have more than 6 fans in the case. Your PC should have one rear exhaust fan as well.

Oh, depending on warranty terms of prebuilt PC (if you do have prebuilt PC), you may void your warranty if you open up the PC. Best to read the warranty pamphlet beforehand.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

First thing I'd do, is check to see how all the fans are tethered in your build. If the fans are indeed hooked to the motherboard and not a fan hub with only 12v input, then your option to manipulate the fans are impossible.

Second, if the fans are indeed hooked up to the motherboard. Gigabyte have an app in their Control Center, under Fan Control, you can use that to manipulate the behavior of the fans/create a fan curve.

Yes it is a pre-built machine. Photo dump is here View: https://imgur.com/a/dnj6ycI


thanks a ton for the info so far!
 
The AIO you have is OEM one. Namely, it has CyberPowerPC logo on the pump, but CyberPowerPC doesn't make AIOs themselves. Instead they outsourced the AIO. With this, there is no telling how the AIO operates. Also, i couldn't find any manual/guide about that AIO (maybe someone else can).

As far as fan connections go, based on the pics, i see populated:
CPU_FAN (most likely AIO pump)
CPU_OPT (probably 3x 120mm rad fans)
SYS_FAN2 (probably the 3x case fans)

Based on the wiring, rad fans and case fans are grouped together and changing RPM of one, will change RPM of them all. Since grouped together fans will run in sync. With this, individual fan control is impossible.

Your MoBo also doesn't have enough fan headers for individual fan control. At best, you can have individual control over 3 fans (if you rewire the fan power cables to SYS_FAN headers), but the other 3 (either on the rad or case fans), need to be grouped together for power.

I suggest that you boot into BIOS and do all the fan profile configuration from there. 3rd party software may or may not work, hence best to do it from BIOS.
Oh, good temp source is CPU core, since that changes temps most often.
 
Let's start by renaming the Fans 1, 5 and 6 so that we know what they are. For each fan, click the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner of its box and select the Manual Control option. Then for each of those fans, click on the dot at the left side of the box to activate manual control. Then momentarily move the slider left to the 0 percent position so that you can see which fan stops and as soon as you've identified the fan move the dot on the left back to the left to turn off manual control. Then you can type in the name of each fan in its box so at least we'll know that. And click on the 3 dots in the upper right hand corner to turn off manual control.

Part of the problem is that we to not know the model of the cooler so we don't know how its fans are controlled. It appears to be Cyberpower's own branded model so you may have to contact them if the fan noise is coming from there so that you can find out how to control them and reduce the noise. You need to find out if the pump speed and radiator fans speed are linked and it they increase and decrease together.

Also it appears that you have clicked on the control in the box for Fan 1 but have not selected one of the curves you have created. You could click on Curve and then select one of the curves shown below in your picture to see if they help your problem.
