I want to change case fans speeds but.

Hi guys bit of an odd once but i moved to windows 11 a few months back with no issues whatsoever.
The thing is id like to adjust my case fans speed a bit, i used to do this with the software for my motherboard but there is no compatible such software for this mobo for windows 11.
Mobo is Asus Prime Z370-P II ,anything i can do?

https://getfancontrol.com/ is meant to be decent, check out the github link though.

Bios curves would likely be the easiest option but I've tried fancontrol and it worked fine when I tried it.

Another Fancontrol user here, works perfectly.

Either set them up in bios or use speedfan.

Thanks a lot guys.
Just to add to this if i may.
I never really bothered with keeping an eye on temps or fan speeds before but the last year or so with the price increase of hardware etc ive turned down my 1080TI to 90% in some attempt to prolong its life.
Im not sure if it will make a difference or not but its stil going strong after 4 years , never overclocked.
As ive started to pay more attention i see my GPU hits 75C when im pushing it hard, is this okay?
Normaly the PC is whisper quiet but under load i do hear the GPU fans get to work hence why im thinking maybe increasing the case fans speed.

75 is fine but just use fancontrol and set up a fan curve.

Thanks i just ran the startup procedure, does it do a recommended curve or anything?
I have 3x Noctua fans and 1 standard case fan all of which rarely ever got a workout as i always had them set to very low via my old software.

Just add a new curve and it will have some sort of default. Then you can tune it to your liking. Can also have multiple curves for different fans.

I use my CPU temp for all my fans (GPU has a separate curve).
