    I’ve adjusted my fan’s curves via BIOS—but I am really paranoid as this is my first build and figured that when it gets to above ~45C they should increase in speed. I do a lot of 3D rendering, not so much gaming, and my CPU and GPU usually average between 50-60C when I do this. Would lowering their speeds be detrimental to my mobo or components? 🥲

      50-60C is still way far from the danger zone. You’re not going to run into issues unless they’re pegged closer to 100C for extended periods of time, and even then your PC is more likely to shut itself down to protect itself than kill itself.

      Edit: not that you should run your PC at 100C. Anything below 90C and you’re almost certainly not going to run into any issue other than loud fans.

        Thank you so so much for the reassurance. I’ve really been freaking out at every temp spike thinking it’s gonna spontaneously combust. I didn’t give a shit about my prebuilt lmao but this one is my baby 😭

      My cpu runs around 58 when gaming. That’s fine, my hot water from the tap is that temp.
