Windows 10: How would you TWEAK this Bios to reduce fan speed?

Greetings,

Me and Mini PCs and fan noise. Yikes. I might stick my new Mini in a college dorm fridge so I never hear it. lol

It's a Ryzen 5 3550H Mini... which Speedfan can't see. However there are BIOS possibilities. I found this --





I've gathered if I toggle the white part to 'software' I can then use those 5 choices below. Could someone hold my hand thru those choices?

FAN OFF isn't a thing for me. I don't care if it's on soft.

It's that fan start limit. I sense I want it to kick on around 60. Normally the PC hangs around this speed when somewhat idle --





But if you open next to anything, the fan momentarily surges as the app opens up. It soon settles back in.

The rest of the settings confuse me. Is there a SLOW DOWN RPM of fan setting in there?

:)

 

inconsistent fan speeds

"Isn't there some way to set a different fan profile"

Laptops tend to have a lot of differences to desktop, but my current ASUS motherboard has

a fan speed profile setup in BIOS.

Other motherboard have system software that includes a fan speed profile option on the driver/software disk.

I usually set the profile so the fan speed at 40C is as high as it will go before it starts getting loud.

Then tweak it up from their.

A higher initial speed will keep the cpu cooler from the start. This helps prevent constant up/down cycling

that comes with some so called 'silent' setups that have a whoa to go fan speed profile.

- If you run the machine in high ambient air temps a cooling pad can help too.

- You should also monitor the temps to verify that machine is not running too hot.

For cpu - Real Temp

If the machine has dedicated graphics processor -

W10 CPU fan not boosting to max speed

Hi Pablo,

Sorry to hear about the inconvenience caused.

We would suggest you to update the following items and check the cpu fan speed and performance.

Check if there is a program to control the fan speed, may be the controller program is not compatible with Windows 10. Also check for the below list and please update it:

• BIOS.
• Chipset drivers.

If you don't find the drivers compatible for Windows 10. refer to the motherboard manufacturer website and check for updated chipset drivers and install it.

Modifying BIOS/ complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS

Hope this information helps, for further assistance please reply.

Hi hapiper have you had a look at your fan settings in your bios ? most will have settings to reduce fan speeds and most have smart technology for the cpu fan what's the motherboard you are using?
