Rx590 fan speed control is very binary

Less a specific tech problem more advice.

Running an rx590 8gb which is lovely but noisy at full chat. What I'm seeing from the Radeon software is zero rpm until it hits temp then it spools up to ~1400rpm, it then cools down enough to drop to zero rpm. There's no gradual ramping, just binary on/off.

It never sits at ~500rpm which would be quiet and for easy unstressed use would cool enough. I've tried manual fan curve but the minimum I can set is 1300rpm.

Is there anything else I should try just to keep a stable temp when idling?

MSI seems to have done the trick, it's humming away steadily now. I'd rather a bit of consistent noise than none then all. Will try it with some games tomorrow.

Cheers.

Np, also if you have a dual bios you might want to consider modding the default fan curve so it's a permanent fix, might help with resale value.
