Is there a way to save custom fan profiles in MSI Afterburner?

I’ve just started using Afterburner so I’m not 100% sure about how saving profiles works. I’m using Afterburner v 4.3.0 with the ‘Default MSI Afterburner v2 skin’. I’m running an XFX R9 390 with Crimson 16.11.4 Rest of my specs to the left under my icon.

I’m not overclocking – I have a small voltage offset (undervolt) in Afterburner but no OC’ing clock speeds or anything.

I’m just trying to save a custom fan profile.

I can get Afterburner to save the small voltage offset as Profile 1. I set another similar profile to test and save as Profile 2. Switching between them or the default profile everything is golden. But when I set the custom fan profile I can’t get it to include that in the saved profile.

Here’s what I’m doing. I go to Settings > Fan and check ‘Enable user defined software automatic fan control’. Then I set up a fan profile and click OK. I test with Heaven bench and the custom fan profile works good. Then if I go back to the main control click ‘Save’ and select a profile # it says Profile saved and I can see it’s then added that profile. But as soon as I click another profile where I didn't have a custom fan setting, and hit apply, it stays at the previous custom fan profile. If I go back to Settings > Fan and select Default from the drop down, it does go back to default fan setting as it should. But then if I go back and select the profile # where I saved the custom fan settings, the fan just stays at the Default profile. If I then select Custom again from the Settings > Fan drop down menu, the previous Custom fan profile has been erased. It’s also erased when I go back and select the saved profile # where I thought it was being saved to when it accepted the save.

On the main Interface I can toggle ‘Auto’ on and off under ‘Fan Speed %’ and that works OK to toggle the current setting on or off. It’s just the Custom fan profile saving part that I’m unclear on.

So do saved profile #’s only apply to the settings that are on that main interface? (Core Voltage, Core Clock, Memory) Is there no way to include the Custom fan settings in a profile?

Thanks
 


That's what I've been doing. As explained in the post, when I save to a profile, then switch to another, the fan settings remain where they are no matter what, unless I manually change them or reset MSI to it's defaults. Going back to the saved profile restores the saved voltage offset, but not the previously saved fan profile.

It is not saving the fan setting in the saved profile. I don't know whether that's normal Afterburner behavior, or if I'm not setting it properly, or if it's a corrupted install, or ...
 
The same exact thing is happening to me verbatim. I was having the same issue with PrecisionX which is why I started using Afterburner. I'm on Windows 10 using the latest version of AB as of 2/13/17 and have 2 GTX 780s in SLI. I've tried all variations of saving which are provided in the user interface tooltip pop up window as well. It seems pretty cut and dry but given I was having the same issue with PrecisionX gives me some pause. Though it could be coincidence it also could be a sign of a more global issue with Windows 10 or something else.
