00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:07,399
welcome to a completely new format here on lineus Tech tips it's our video

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,639
version of a guide we found somewhere on the internet oh wait so hold on a second

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,199
so you're saying that's not different from what we normally do oh come on I

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:20,119
mean there is at least a unique spin on it this time and on the subject of spin

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:24,320
if you haven't checked out empty Warehouse chair racing and subscribed to

6
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:28,599
our other channel Channel Super Fun maybe now is the time

7
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:41,520
The Cooler Master Nova touch tkl is powered by toer hybrid capacitive

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,160
switches for the ultimate typing experience and is now available for a

9
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,320
reduced price click my face to learn

10
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:53,359
more all right so what's different about

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:55,960
this online guide conversion is that we

12
00:00:53,359 --> 00:01:01,719
are basing the video on content that was posted on our own website by the user

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,160
lays where he or at least I assume he

14
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:09,320
based on the pitch of his voice but you never can know demonstrates that you

15
00:01:05,199 --> 00:01:12,159
don't have to buy an ASUS strick or EVGA

16
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:17,439
card with a fanless mode to get your GTX 900 series Maxwell based graphics card

17
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:21,479
to run completely silent at idol or even in lightweight games so let's start by

18
00:01:19,759 --> 00:01:26,159
addressing the big question that a lot of people have first why on Earth would

19
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:29,680
you want your fans to turn off they're not that loud in the first place and

20
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:33,200
they're just going to turn back on again when can you fire up any kind of

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,840
demanding game or other application anyway get a good pair of noise

22
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:43,520
isolating headphones and call it a day well that's where you're partially wrong

23
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,759
for one thing perceived loudness is dependent on the environment in which

24
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,680
the PC is being used and personal tolerances to you the ambient noise in

25
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:58,119
the room or the other fans in your system might overpower the quiet idle

26
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:02,320
noise of the NVIDIA reference or MSI twin frozer or whatever other cool you

27
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:08,080
have on your graphics card but for people up late writing for example in a

28
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:10,200
quiet room a nice quiet PC can be pretty

29
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,640
important and as they start replacing fans in their system they quickly get to

30
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:19,680
the point where the graphics card fan one that they have is pretty tough to

31
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:25,080
replace is the loudest part and to address the whole get headphones

32
00:02:22,239 --> 00:02:31,280
suggestion I mean not Everyone likes headphones and why should I have to put

33
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:34,440
something on my face or just deal with

34
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,400
it when there is literally no reason my

35
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:41,879
computer should be making any noise when I'm playing music for example something

36
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:46,680
that's been possible to do on fanless low power portable devices for decades

37
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:51,280
at this point which leads us to the guide now normally unless your GPU

38
00:02:49,239 --> 00:02:56,760
supports fanless operation out of the box your MSI afterburner custom fan

39
00:02:54,519 --> 00:03:01,680
profile which you can access like this will have these dotted lines on it to

40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:07,400
denote the maximum and minimum values that your fan will operate at you can

41
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:11,879
drag the button down to Zer RPM but it won't do anything without the

42
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:15,239
modification posted by lays which will summarize but I'm sure he'd also

43
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:18,680
appreciate if you check out the link in the video description and post some

44
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:23,360
positive comments in the Forum thread if you liked his guide all right so first

45
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:30,200
you need to gather the tools you'll need Maxwell BIOS tweaker GPU Z and envy

46
00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:32,040
flash save your BIOS using GPU Z to a

47
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:37,760
folder of your choice in the root of your drive we're going to call it Envy

48
00:03:33,959 --> 00:03:39,599
flash by pressing this button copy all

49
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,439
the zipped files from Maxwell BIOS tweaker and envy Flash and blah blah all

50
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:49,519
that stuff into the same folder as your backed up BIOS open the BIOS tweaker app

51
00:03:47,799 --> 00:03:53,599
open BIOS by clicking here and navigating to it it should be pretty

52
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:57,360
close by then there's a bunch of stuff that you can tweak in here but most of

53
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:05,280
it goes beyond the scope of this guide we're just going to change RPM 11 per 01

54
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,879
and RPM 01 to zero to change the minimum

55
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:14,959
value in RPM and percentage of our fan to zero when that's done save your BIOS

56
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:16,600
as some other file name so you retain a

57
00:04:14,959 --> 00:04:21,440
copy of your original BIOS that you can Flash the card back to so that it's in

58
00:04:19,479 --> 00:04:25,160
its stock configuration in the event that you ever need to send it in for

59
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:29,720
warranty service then go into device manager and disable your graphics card

60
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:34,800
don't worry if the screen goes black or does anything funny this is only

61
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:37,160
temporary next press Windows and type

62
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:43,199
command then right click and open as administrator type in CD space see colon

63
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:51,400
back Envy Flash and press enter Then type Envy flash space- 6 space and the

64
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:54,199
name of your BIOS. ROM then press enter

65
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:57,720
press y wait for the flash process to complete I'd actually highly recommend

66
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,639
being connected to a battery backup during this time restart reenable your

67
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:07,320
graphics card and Device Manager reboot again for good measure then fire up MSI

68
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,560
afterburner and it's Off to the Races now you can configure your custom fan

69
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:16,199
profile however you want so depending on if you just want silence at idle and

70
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:20,479
otherwise a pretty normal fan curve or if you want to be able to you know limit

71
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,199
your gpus load through the use of vsync gsync or some other frame rate limiter

72
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,880
in-game for example to try and get silent gaming going you'll want to tune

73
00:05:26,280 --> 00:05:33,639
this differently but this follow-up Post in the Forum from L has a solid looking

74
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:39,360
suggested curve that ramps up the fan to keep your GPU safe as it heats up while

75
00:05:36,639 --> 00:05:44,319
keeping it quiet when nothing's shaken once you've got it dialed in and you

76
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,560
like the GPU's overall behavior and

77
00:05:44,319 --> 00:05:53,160
noise level under various loads simply put a value between 10 and 15° into the

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,240
hysteresis box this keeps the fan from

79
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,000
constantly ramping up and down when the

80
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:03,199
temperature is right on the threshold of a of a major RPM shift which can be

81
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,599
annoying and then you're done so the last things to address in this video are

82
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:14,280
these lonus I did this and my GPU is running at like 60 to 65° at idle at the

83
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,280
desktop is that okay the answer is

84
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:22,280
pretty much yeah while lower temperatures are better for electronics

85
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:25,120
60° is nowhere near the fast and painful

86
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:30,360
death danger zone and if NVIDIA thought that this was bad for it none of these

87
00:06:27,479 --> 00:06:35,400
cards would feature a fanless mode what about this one then lonus how does

88
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,919
this affect the warranty of my card well

89
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:42,400
if your GPU manufacturer does not allow BIOS flashing under the warranty terms

90
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:47,199
my recommendation would be to like I said before flash that backup that you

91
00:06:45,199 --> 00:06:52,080
saved back onto the card before attempting to get any kind of warranty

92
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,360
service they can't tell you did it but

93
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:58,440
with that said if you were to Brick your card as part of this process the honest

94
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,800
thing to do would be to suck it up since it's not covered and take better

95
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:06,639
precautions like using a battery backup next

96
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:12,000
time speaking of taking better precautions crunchy roll is a way to

97
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:16,960
take precautions against missing your favorite anime shows it's the anime site

98
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:20,120
created by anime fans for anime fans they offer the most current episodes of

99
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:24,960
new shows straight from Japan like parasite the maxim and Koko's basketball

100
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:29,879
3 with a large collection of the most popular anime series like Naruto and one

101
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,599
piece and all the content on their site is professionally subtitled so all you

102
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,759
got to do is head over to crunchyroll.com Linus you can sign up

stream anywhere from a variety of devices like your phone tablet game

108
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:00,879
console um you know your etes sketch

109
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,680
actually that doesn't work because an edge of sketch doesn't have a network

110
00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:10,080
connection unless you have like a really great edge of sketch like I I really wonder if that

111
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:14,879
would be a successful product like smart etes sketch anyway the point is that

112
00:08:12,639 --> 00:08:20,720
crunchy roll is only $6.95 a month if you enjoy it so head over to crer

121
00:08:46,519 --> 00:08:52,760
whenever you buy you know your graphics card to do this you know tweak on or

122
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:55,160
whatever else the case may be so I think that's pretty much it guys don't forget
