Today, MSI is offering a Beta version of the Silent Option Fan utility. This feature lets you control the cooling from CPU and GPU of your PC. Thanks to this, you can adjust ventilation of your PC according to your needs.
This type of functionality is very important, especially if you're using a Gamer PC. Find out below what the MSI fan mode is for, and whether or not you should activate it!
What is an MSI Fan Mode?
First of all, you need to know that MSI is the Microsoft Windows Installer service. This is a very active system in the notebook segment. Ventilation is always a difficult subject, especially for a laptop. Some gamers over-activate ventilation to get a better temperature. Others want remain silent and limit activation ventilation.
Intelligent fan mode operation is based on the continuous temperature monitoring of various components, such as the processor, GPU and motherboard. When the temperature reaches a given threshold, the intelligent fan mode is activated. Fan speed is increased to ensure adequate airflow and cool the system. In addition, when the temperature drops, the fan speed is reduced to reduce unnecessary noise and save energy.
Although the MSI system is still active in the notebook segment. The developers have decided to introduce a very important tool, Silent Option Fan control. This allows you to control laptop fans. Using this type of control is very easy, as it is now available in beta version. Visit the MSI forums for more information.
Importance of fan mode MSI :
Fan control is very important for a laptop, so it's essential to activate it. This will enable fluidity of use. Here's what you need to check when venting your appliance:
CPU Fan Speed:
Displays fan speed. Those linked to the motherboard. This process detects whether one of them is faulty. What's more, you'll be able to detect when it's time to switch to the cleaning. Dust reduces fan performance. Regular checks are therefore extremely important.
CPU Fan Fail Warning: Enable/disable check
Enable allows you to notify if the processor fan doesn't run fast enough or at all. Leave this option activated. But don't bother if you already have a fan that idles all the time.
CPU Smart Fan Control
This option allows you to modulate fan speed of the processor according to its temperature, provided of course that the latter is enabled. At the same time, you need to use a motherboard that is compatible with this option.
With this Smart Fan mode MSI option, it is possible to keep your system at optimum temperature by ensuring efficient cooling. This can lead to greater system stability, lower noise levels and longer overall life for your hardware.
It also eliminates the need for manual fan speed adjustment, making it a convenient and easy-to-use option.
So should you activate Smart Fan mode?
Smart Fan mode lets you customize options to suit individual preferences. The MSI Dragon Center software lets users create specific fan profiles and adjust various parameters such as fan speed, temperature thresholds, and even create custom fan curves.
When you activate Smart Fan mode, the motherboard can adjust fan speed according to CPU temperature and other sensors. So, if you want a PC that's a little more efficient, we advise you to activate it!
Choose your options according to your computer's features.
How to adjust MSI fans?
Is your fan making noise? We'll show you how to fix it!
The fan runs at maximum speed when the Cooler Boost and Accelerated Cooling functions are activated. Friction between the blades and the air causes a louder airflow noise, which is quite normal.
- First and foremost, therefore, it is important to check whether the unit's "Cooler Boost" function is activated (only for models equipped with this function) or if the Cooler Boost function is activated in the MSI Center. If this function is enabled, deactivate it and check the noise again.
- When the operating mode is set to "Extreme Performance", users can customize fan operation. To check the fan's current operating mode, please click on the gear icon located in the bottom right-hand corner.
- If the Cooler Boost function is activated, set the fan speed to "Auto and press the "Save" button. After reducing speed, check if the noise persists.
- If the problem persists, select " Start "If the noise persists, adjust the fan speed control sliders to reduce the fan speed.
- You can also clean the ventilation holes with dry air bombs or blowers located on the back and side of your computer.
All in all, MSI's Smart Fan mode offers many advantages that can significantly improve computer performance and durability. Activation of this function is recommended to maintain optimal operating conditions and avoid overheating by adjusting fan speed according to real-time temperature readings.
