Interesting that you're posting this content 2 days after I discovered the software. I can surely testify to how excellent and simple to use this software is. I can create my own curves, from as simple as flat or linear line graps, to complex graph curves utilizing custom sensors that return a value that is derived from multiple sensors. For instance, the custom sensor I use in my case fans fan curve is the sum of the CPU core sensor and the GPU core sensor. I configured the graph in such a way that the fans max out when the sensor reaches 110C, which is equivalent to either a CPU stress test or a gaming scenario. The software even detects the PCH fan, which is basically the little fan on my motherboard. It can control GPU fans too, although I use MSI afterburner for this task since it has better monitoring graphs, and lets me record and see hours of GPU temps, utilization, and fan speed history on graphs so that I can later on check how my temps and fan speeds were during my gaming session.
My PC specs:
MOBO: Asus Prime X570-p
CPU: AMD 3700X @ 4.3GHz all-core
GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 2070S (Fellow owners of this card, know that this card will require a thermal paste renewal following a year or 2 of heavy gaming use.)
PSU: Corsair RM750 CP-9020195-EU
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz 2x8GB CL16/18?
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 1TB NVMe
HDD: 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM008
Monitor: LG 27GN950
Case: Cooler Master H500 (using the mesh panel)
Fan setup:
- 2x Cooler Master MF200R RGB 200mm fans at the front (intake, comes with the case, combined with an aftermarket PWM splittler cable in order to equalize theirs speeds. The included cheap Y-splittler cable that comes with the case only outputs 2 pins, which means no speed control for the fans; the aftermarket Y-splitter cable outputs 4 pins, which is compatible with both PWM and DC fans. These fans are 3 pinned though, so they are DC.)
- a 120mm Cooler Master fan (exhaust, comes with the case, DC, soon to replaced with an Arctic P12 PWD PST CO)
- BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 4 (2 PWM fans, one 120mm, the other 135mm)
- Planning on installing 2 intake fans (Arctic P14 PWM PST CO 140mm) at the top
Temps:
- CPU temps settle at 55C while gaming, max peaks reach around 68C.
- GPU temps settle at 65-66C, max peaks at 67C, GPU fans at 68% (custom fan curve, GPU temps used to be 75C at 90% GPU fans immediately prior to changing the factory paste)
- Ambient temp is about 25C.
- Game being played is Rainbow Six Siege, at 60% 4K, pretty much max settings with ultra textures. In game benchmark yields 130 average FPS without GPU OC.
- Thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut (CPU'S is 2 years old, GPU's is 2-3 weeks old)
