Remove all original manufacturer tools. I've noticed they often trigger BSODs and strange Windows problems, no matter the brand—Asus, GIgabyte, Asrock or others. If you wish, share the dump files about the BSODs. Refer to the troubleshooting guide at the linked forum for more details.
I usually avoid OEM tools, but I ended up here since I couldn't afford a good fan controller for my case. The only regular OEM utility I use is the ASRock Restart to UEFI because I rely on Fast Boot and it's tough to access UEFI normally (even with key-spamming).
To access the UEFI, press the shift key while holding the restart button until the system boots. Once there, choose Troubleshoot, then go to UEFI Firmware Settings. For fan management, configure a profile in the UEFI and allow it to handle operation automatically.
I understand this, though it's harder to utilize the tool. It functions well. Thank you.
Additionally, I aim to design a tailored fan curve to ensure a smooth rise rather than an immediate jump to full speed once the desired temperature is reached.
