citay,
Thank you for the informative and instructive fan curve guide. I completed my first build a few days ago (after 20+ years of owning pre-built machines) and your guide enabled me to reduce my air cooled cpu temps to a comfortable level as well as making my system virtually silent. I am very appreciative of the many knowledgeable posters in this forum.
Windows 11, MSI z790 Tomahawk DDR5 WiFi, I7 13700K, 32GB 5600, PSU 850, EVGA Nvidia 2060

Hello Sir...
Great writing on the fan control
I need your help...I recently bought a msi z490 motherboard online.
Since powering it on, the MOS fan is spinning close to 12k RPM.
After searching online, I figured it is a known problem with no clear solution in any of the forums other than RMA.
RMA is not an option for me since I bought it used.

Thanks

Disable the VRM fan physically by unplugging/snipping the cable. In most cases, the fans are complete overkill. Those boards that use VRM/MOSFET fans, such as the Z490 ACE / GODLIKE, have an efficient VRM with Smart Powerstages, so there's no risk of overheating even with the fan disabled.
