Can't locate any information about the fan curve on my BIOS. It seems the options are limited to silent mode, manual, or full speed. I'll attempt the full speed setting to check if it improves things.
While discussing this, I'm testing the FO76 and notice the CPU is at 59 with poor performance. However, it might be a game-related issue.
It's clear you want to adjust the manual settings to match your preferences. If you keep it at full speed continuously, your fan will likely run constantly, which isn't ideal when not gaming. A 45 fps in FO76 with your current hardware is acceptable. When you captured the screenshot, your fan was probably set to maximum speed. FO76 needs at least an i5-6600K processor. You can still try to achieve it, but don’t expect typical 60 fps in 1080p. It’s safer to cap your frame rate around 30, particularly if you’re playing online.
Man, there was a sad event.
I accidentally reset my BIOS, which meant all the adjustments I made were gone.
My CPU performance dropped noticeably.
I can't recall every change I made to boost efficiency. I found an old Reddit post with a guide suggesting disabling certain functions like EIST, C1, C3, and C7 Halt to ease bottlenecks. Now I'm not sure if that's the right path.
My BIOS settings are still there—do you have any advice on what to adjust?
If you wish your CPU behaves as it should, there’s not much I can do. I suspect something might be off—there seems to be turbo boost turned off, which is normal. But it also appears your CPU is manually set to 3.9 GHz. That could be an issue because while it runs at 3.9 GHz in single-core games, it only reaches 3.7 GHz in multi-core titles. This might happen naturally (as shown in FO76), but I recommend adjusting the clock to 3.7 GHz. Also, ensure your Windows 10 power plan is set to Balanced; otherwise, your CPU will keep running at 3.7 GHz during games and lower it outside of them. When balanced mode is active, it maintains 3.7 GHz in-game and reduces it back when not playing.
I’ve experienced something similar with my own CPU—since I don’t have a high-end cooler, I clocked it to 3.0 GHz instead of the recommended 3.2 GHz for 4-core games. That worked well for me, though the extra 0.2 GHz didn’t significantly improve performance and caused excessive heat.
You should also check your fan curve settings. Setting this up properly will help manage temperatures, especially when running at 3.7 GHz. A well-tuned fan curve can make a big difference in cooling efficiency.
Also, did you ever look up the fan curve? It’s important to configure it correctly as I mentioned. Adjusting it alongside your CPU clock will greatly improve heat management.
And finally, you didn’t answer my question...
Hey there!
As you asked, it should work like this, correct? (sorry for the blurry photo)
Regarding the FO76, to be honest, I don't recall anything! I'll go all out and check it.
And no, I didn't come across any info about Fan Curve, just the usual fan speed settings (as attached below)
