I am wanting custom Fan curves on my pc since when I'm gaming my pc gets extremely hot but when I'm just browsing the web I don't want my fans at 80% speed

And continuously opening up predatorsense is just annoying every time

    only way to do that is a new MB. and quieter fans.

    It depends on just which PO3 model you have, they have changed things many times over the years. Typically if custom fan curves are supported it's done through PredatorSense.

    I have the PO3-640, and Ive looked through the app and I can only change the fan speed, not curves

    You can try this option, JayzTwoCents covered it on his youtube channel

    don't waste your time it won't. you need a new motherboard.

    OP, please do a forum search. If it is your CPU that is getting toasty and thus causing a lot of unwanted noise, replacing the CPU cooler with a decent one (eg. Noctua) can really make a difference. It won't give you custom curve, but the difference in noise can be night and day.

    I'm going to tell you the same thing i tell every person who gets a 3000 SERIES the case only has 3 small fans and a terrible stock cooler. even if you ran all 3 fans at 100% it won't cool well enough. so, you would have to replace all 3 fans with Noctua ones and get a Noctua CPU cooler and run them at 100% when gaming and doing benchmarks then at least they will be quiet and cool better. or get a 5000 series and you will get a bigger case with more fans but still terrible subpar cooling. there is no way around it when buying a cheap gaming pc as we have all learned. upgrading is the only option to improve cooling BUT the 3000 series limits you so bad there really isn't much you can do but replace the fans and cooler.

    what i did was, installed a noctua 9u on the cpu, used the cpu stockfan as the rearfan connected that to sysfan 2, moved the rearfan to the top connected that to systemfan 1 for more air inlet,
    connected the frontfan to a sataconnector with an adapter plus the rpm reducercabel u get with the noctua cpu cooler, since that will not be controllable
    and connected a airhoose from outside 12cm with a 10cm fan to keep the ambient temp around the front/top as cool as possible,
    stressing the cpu bearly gets me above 60C stressing the gpu can get me to 70C, used msi afterburner to change the temp/fan profile.
    predator sense is good to monitor temps and whatnot, but u cant set rpms lower that 60, wich is about 90% of the noctua cpufan,
    this works for me,
