[White Out 403]

I picked up a prebuilt on the marketplace here locally in Cape Breton, nice kid and family. It's a really nifty little machine but I do notice that the CPU fan, while not loud, has a bit of a slightly higher pitch than the noctua I have on my older PC.

I have the CPU fan set to silent in the boot menu Q control. In Windows when I load asus' armoury crate, which I guess is there motherboard windows software. When I change the fan speed to standard or silent, the PC comes to a nearly dead silent quiet bliss.

But the thing is, I can't have armoury crate load as part of windows startup, and, assuming I figured that out, according to asus technical support, you have to load the profile each and every time to get the fan speed setting changed. this seems like a rare miss from a company i regularly support for hardware.

edit: I saw online theres an opensource program people made to control fan speed. I may give that a go and see if that helps
