    Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or serious. I’ve been using computers for decades and not once adjusted fan speeds, so that function doesn’t seem very basic to me.

      When building a system yourself, setting up a custom curve is how you get the best balance between cooling and noise.

      I try to choose motherboards that support doing that in the bios, so I never have to worry about it on the OS level.

        Fan curves are easy. Set them to always run at 100% and put on a noise canceling headset.

          That’s stupid. Why would I make my cat listen to something I wont? Can’t have him wear my XM5s.
