Can the fan controls in Afterburner be activated when both Afterburner and Gigabyte Control Center are active? It's unclear which software has higher priority.

When using a single fan controller software, the fans should ideally operate independently. If multiple controllers are involved, the system may behave unpredictably.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.
What is the current fan configuration?
Any RGB connections?
Also more information is necessary - what specific problem or problems are occuring?
I.e., works or does not work?

I've adjusted my specifications.
My fan configurations are listed in MSI Afterburner and Gigabyte Control Center.
Gigabyte includes RGB options for the cooler, motherboard, and RAM.
I haven't encountered any cooling issues yet, but I'm curious if Afterburner settings interfere with Gigabyte's settings. Running Red Dead Redemption 2 peaked at 69°C.

Sure, I'll proceed with Afterburner since it offers better control over the fan curve. The Gigabyte model is a bit unstable. I might miss some RGB features, but it shouldn't be a major issue.

Yes, you can retain the RGB settings by installing only the RGB component and removing the rest during the reinstallation of Control Center.
