Hi guys i have pc with intel i5 11-600k (3.9Ghz so stock) and intel basic/stock cooler. Well my pc is getting very loud, so i reach out to bios settings and i dont know how to set the cpu fan curve to optimal. Now it's "Default" as it says.
 
What are the complete system specs? Include case and power supply.

What is ambient temperature?

What are you doing with the PC when it gets loud, or is it all the time?

Have you ever cleaned this PC?
I own spc signum evo mith mesh front panel,
Win 11
Yes i am cleaning it.
Problem is stock curve is very cool, but noisy. Iam afraid of customizing cpu fan curve

Some motherboards come with a utility in the BIOS for "fan tuning" "smart fan" etc. Typically will go through a short process of running various fan speeds and will set a new fan curve based on the parameter you pick so far as performance, silent, and so on.

i have smart fan switch enabled, but i see on chart that it can be better etc quieter. cpu is very cool in games bcs i game on borrowed gtx 760
