Hi there - toying with getting a new motherboard and also tempted with one of those big fat Noctua cpu fans to just mix it up.
I currently use an AIO cooler which ramps based on liquid temps. So, slowly!
When using the motherboard and setting the Noctua heatsink fans for temps, I’d be conscious of it ramping up all the time in line with the CPU temps spiking, which would be really annoying.
I’m pretty sure you can get around this in the BIOS with a ‘step up / step down’ function, giving the fan some tolerance before it reacts to a change in CPU temps.
… but the Asrock motherboard I have doesn’t seem to have this function (B550) which seems ridiculous. In fact, not even the 670 series motherboards seem to have it from a look at their manuals.
That can’t be right, surely? Google just gives a total load of crap when searching for this answer so sorry for the potentially silly question.
Thanks.
