Hello. My computer is very very loud. When i change the fan speed in the bios it is very complicated. There is no, "maximum, normal, or quiet". My computer temps vary around 35 to 45 degrees Celsius. My motherboard is an mis m5 and my cpu is an intel i76700k. My graphics card is an 8gb gtx 1080 and my cpu cooler is the h100i v2. I have 16 gb of ram. PLZ HELP. (i need a simple way to control fan speeds without a physical controller) (i don't understand how to use speed fan either)
 
I too have an MSI Z170. It looks like it has the same BIOS screen.
All your fans can be set exactly how you want them by setting up CPU fan and System fan profiles.
EG. A profile for the CPU fan enables you to set the fan at low speed when the CPU is cool, medium speed when the CPU is reasonably warm and high speed when hot.
If you have installed the MSI Command Centre, you can play around with fan speed settings to test out things but get reset to what ever is set in the BIOS.

Currently, I have CPU fan set at 20% if temp below 40C, then 40% at 45C, then 70% at 50C, then 100% at 60C.

you can pull the squares around on the graph to adjust to exacting requirements.
My rig runs super quiet at the fans spin very slowely until things heat up during gaming.
