Cant set "silent" profile on fan in MSI BIOS?

Zeebedy · 11 Jun 2025 at 19:26

Hey guys,

PC up and running now (mainly), but I have updated the latest BIOS on the MSI motherboard, but cant find settings in the fan profiles to set to silent. The fans are cranked up and loud while I type this in Windows.

Maybe this?

You can control fans in BIOS> HARDWARE MONITOR panel. Enabling Smart Fan Mode will regulate fan speed based on CPU or system temperature. Disabling Smart Fan Mode will set the fan to full speed.

Thanks for that. Will look at this in the morning. They could be at full speed atm, they are pretty loud.

May be best setting a custom fan curve.

What case, fans and CPU cooler have you got?

I have the h7 flow case, the fans are like the NZXT Core fans and the cooler is the Nautilus 360 RS AIO.

managed to get the noise right down, a bit of a faff in the BIOS software but least its working now.

Glad you got it sorted.

Did you just use the Silent profile or a better fan curve?

There was no silent option. I set a new custom fan curve..

One thing annoying was as I had the fans in different headers on the motherboard, I had to click individually and set a curve on each. So I set one, took a photo and copied it to the rest of the fans..

Not ideal, but least it worked!

Had to do the same with mine.

It is a bit of a faff, but it does work well.
