What should be done regarding running fans?
Consider running the CPU and video card fans at full speed or set them to auto?
CPU and graphics card fans must operate at maximum effort to maintain optimal temperatures. During idle use, you should barely notice their noise. I enjoy identifying the lowest possible fan speeds and then increasing them slightly—around 2-3% above the baseline—to establish a stable speed before reaching peak temperatures. Once the CPU or GPU hits around 60°C, gradually boost the fans to about 70% speed at higher temperatures of 85°C.
