AMD RX 460 Fan Control software with Wattman?

[Meddling-Monk]

As everyone knows, Wattman is a very poor subsitute for controlling the fans, voltages, etc on a AMD GPU. We can't get it to be "silent", it'll keep jumping around and causing a nuisance of a sound trying to keep things cool by it's "automatic" design. Which isn't what we want.

A GPU I asked about a bit back; a RX 460 is the GPU in question. Windows 10. And we'd like to keep the thing "silent", not noisy. We don't overclock the 460, so we're not concerned about voltages or anything like that. Does anyone know any software to install alongside Wattman that can control the Fan with a Fan Curve or manul one fan setting? Or does anyone know what settings to add/alter in Wattman to make it run silent and not blast the fan to 3300RPM every time it hits 50c?

Thanks all for any help.

PS. I know there are some AMD reps here, but I'd like to add that your driver devs done messed up. Because my 7950, which isn't supposed to have Wattman since it's not supported, can't get the latest radeon drivers easily because it keeps installing Wattman anyway, and causing unending "Wattman has restarted because of..." errors in Windows 10. So yeah... Wattman is the devil from AMD I say.

I had been using afterburner but tried this and much better but afterburner would allow you to make a custom curve to suit yourself.

Wattman works fine on my 7950 (although on Windows 7 still), so certainly not "the devil".

As above, afterburner will let you customise your fans - you don't have to touch any other settings in it.

Thanks guys. Will look into Afterburner and the overdriventool as well.

@Armageus
Try it on Windows 10, with the latest update (Creators Update I think, or the more recent one). You'll be trying tdrdelay in the registry, going to very old drivers (now), to telling Windows not to install graphics updates full stop to try and prevent Wattman from "Default Radeon WattMan settings have been restored due to unexpected system failure", which also impacts any 3d intensive game you're in. Then tell me it's not the Devil.

Good to know it's safe on Windows 7 though.

Wattman truly is an abomination, how they made something so crap out of something that should be so simple and intuitive is beyond me.
