I have had some issues with my pc for past few days now, it was suggested by someone to update my bios. When updating them i noticed that it was updated to the latest verison, so i decided to quit updating my bios. My computer restarted but now the fans are loud and running at full speed. They werent like this before.

You can adjust the fan curve in BIOS

fierce robin Feb 5, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

How can i do that, not really experienced lol

#

MSI bios frankly I'm not familiar with. I'll tag someone who is @blazing wadi ^

If you head into the BIOS by repeatedly pressing the Delete key on your keyboard as your PC is turning on, then you can click on Hardware Monitor and you'll be able to control the fans in there

Which fans do you have inside your PC?

Corsair fans and liquid cooler

If you click System 1 at the top and check what that's set to

#

You might just need to toggle between PWM and DC mode

trail thicket Feb 5, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

Hold on aren't Corsair Liquid cooler fans usually controlled by ICUE

Yeah i tried Icue but didnt change it

I would try changing that to PWM mode and see if that makes it any quieter

fierce robin Feb 5, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

That done the job

blazing wadi Feb 5, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

pepehypers If you click the X in the top right and save your changes, that should be sorted

fierce robin Feb 5, 2023, 5:40 PM

#

Thanks Harry should i do the same with another fans?

#

Now its alot more quiet it was driving me mad 😅

blazing wadi Feb 5, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

The rest should be controlled through iCue so won't have the same issue. If there's multiple fans running just that one header, changing that would have sorted it for all of them 🙂

#

Also another question, should i use game boost? It was actived before but now its not

blazing wadi Feb 5, 2023, 5:46 PM

#

I would leave game boost off, I believe that's MSI's automatic overclocking

I would check that XMP is enabled though if it isn't already

trail thicket Feb 5, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

Game booster also pumps stupid amount of voltage into your CPU on automatic

I left on for now, will switch off when i get home. Ill also check XMP. Could this possibly be the cause of my shutting and restarting problems aswel as BSOD (happened twice)

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @fierce robin, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

trail thicket Feb 5, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Which BSOD

#

there's a lot of codes

blazing wadi Feb 5, 2023, 6:00 PM

#

Yeah the Game Boost could potentially be causing it - I would see if disabling it makes any difference at all

fierce robin Feb 5, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

trail thicket there's a lot of codes

Not sure I looked in my event viewer yesterday and it mentioned cache, would have to take another look, will post it here when i get home

fierce robin Feb 5, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

@blazing wadi game boost is off I think 😅

That looks all good, I would just enable A-XMP 1 so that your RAM is running at its full speed

Okay ive tested it off (game boost and xmp) no BSOD. But my computer still doesnt switch off properly, fans and lights still on after shutting down.

Hmm that's unusual - you might be best getting in touch with tech support if you haven't already and see what they advise
