00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:07.399
welcome to a completely new format here on lineus Tech tips it's our video

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

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

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

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:24.320
if you haven't checked out empty Warehouse chair racing and subscribed to

00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:28.599
our other channel Channel Super Fun maybe now is the time

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:41.520
The Cooler Master Nova touch tkl is powered by toer hybrid capacitive

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:47.160
switches for the ultimate typing experience and is now available for a

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:50.320
reduced price click my face to learn

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:53.359
more all right so what's different about

00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:55.960
this online guide conversion is that we

00:00:53.359 --> 00:01:01.719
are basing the video on content that was posted on our own website by the user

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.160
lays where he or at least I assume he

00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:09.320
based on the pitch of his voice but you never can know demonstrates that you

00:01:05.199 --> 00:01:12.159
don't have to buy an ASUS strick or EVGA

00:01:09.320 --> 00:01:17.439
card with a fanless mode to get your GTX 900 series Maxwell based graphics card

00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:21.479
to run completely silent at idol or even in lightweight games so let's start by

00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:26.159
addressing the big question that a lot of people have first why on Earth would

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

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

00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:37.840
demanding game or other application anyway get a good pair of noise

00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:43.520
isolating headphones and call it a day well that's where you're partially wrong

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:47.759
for one thing perceived loudness is dependent on the environment in which

00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:52.680
the PC is being used and personal tolerances to you the ambient noise in

00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:58.119
the room or the other fans in your system might overpower the quiet idle

00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:02.320
noise of the NVIDIA reference or MSI twin frozer or whatever other cool you

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:08.080
have on your graphics card but for people up late writing for example in a

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:10.200
quiet room a nice quiet PC can be pretty

00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.640
important and as they start replacing fans in their system they quickly get to

00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:19.680
the point where the graphics card fan one that they have is pretty tough to

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:25.080
replace is the loudest part and to address the whole get headphones

00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:31.280
suggestion I mean not Everyone likes headphones and why should I have to put

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:34.440
something on my face or just deal with

00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:36.400
it when there is literally no reason my

00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:41.879
computer should be making any noise when I'm playing music for example something

00:02:39.480 --> 00:02:46.680
that's been possible to do on fanless low power portable devices for decades

00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:51.280
at this point which leads us to the guide now normally unless your GPU

00:02:49.239 --> 00:02:56.760
supports fanless operation out of the box your MSI afterburner custom fan

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:01.680
profile which you can access like this will have these dotted lines on it to

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:07.400
denote the maximum and minimum values that your fan will operate at you can

00:03:04.760 --> 00:03:11.879
drag the button down to Zer RPM but it won't do anything without the

00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.239
modification posted by lays which will summarize but I'm sure he'd also

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:18.680
appreciate if you check out the link in the video description and post some

00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:23.360
positive comments in the Forum thread if you liked his guide all right so first

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:30.200
you need to gather the tools you'll need Maxwell BIOS tweaker GPU Z and envy

00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:32.040
flash save your BIOS using GPU Z to a

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

00:03:33.959 --> 00:03:39.599
flash by pressing this button copy all

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:44.439
the zipped files from Maxwell BIOS tweaker and envy Flash and blah blah all

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:49.519
that stuff into the same folder as your backed up BIOS open the BIOS tweaker app

00:03:47.799 --> 00:03:53.599
open BIOS by clicking here and navigating to it it should be pretty

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

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

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:07.879
and RPM 01 to zero to change the minimum

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

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:16.600
as some other file name so you retain a

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

00:04:19.479 --> 00:04:25.160
its stock configuration in the event that you ever need to send it in for

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:29.720
warranty service then go into device manager and disable your graphics card

00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:34.800
don't worry if the screen goes black or does anything funny this is only

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:37.160
temporary next press Windows and type

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:43.199
command then right click and open as administrator type in CD space see colon

00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:51.400
back Envy Flash and press enter Then type Envy flash space- 6 space and the

00:04:47.400 --> 00:04:54.199
name of your BIOS. ROM then press enter

00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:57.720
press y wait for the flash process to complete I'd actually highly recommend

00:04:56.080 --> 00:05:02.639
being connected to a battery backup during this time restart reenable your

00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:07.320
graphics card and Device Manager reboot again for good measure then fire up MSI

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:11.560
afterburner and it's Off to the Races now you can configure your custom fan

00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.199
profile however you want so depending on if you just want silence at idle and

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

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:24.199
your gpus load through the use of vsync gsync or some other frame rate limiter

00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:28.880
in-game for example to try and get silent gaming going you'll want to tune

00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:33.639
this differently but this follow-up Post in the Forum from L has a solid looking

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

00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:44.319
keeping it quiet when nothing's shaken once you've got it dialed in and you

00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:46.560
like the GPU's overall behavior and

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:53.160
noise level under various loads simply put a value between 10 and 15° into the

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.240
hysteresis box this keeps the fan from

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.000
constantly ramping up and down when the

00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:03.199
temperature is right on the threshold of a of a major RPM shift which can be

00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:07.599
annoying and then you're done so the last things to address in this video are

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

00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.280
desktop is that okay the answer is

00:06:14.280 --> 00:06:22.280
pretty much yeah while lower temperatures are better for electronics

00:06:18.520 --> 00:06:25.120
60° is nowhere near the fast and painful

00:06:22.280 --> 00:06:30.360
death danger zone and if NVIDIA thought that this was bad for it none of these

00:06:27.479 --> 00:06:35.400
cards would feature a fanless mode what about this one then lonus how does

00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:37.919
this affect the warranty of my card well

00:06:35.400 --> 00:06:42.400
if your GPU manufacturer does not allow BIOS flashing under the warranty terms

00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:47.199
my recommendation would be to like I said before flash that backup that you

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:52.080
saved back onto the card before attempting to get any kind of warranty

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:54.360
service they can't tell you did it but

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

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

00:07:00.400 --> 00:07:06.639
precautions like using a battery backup next

00:07:04.280 --> 00:07:12.000
time speaking of taking better precautions crunchy roll is a way to

00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:16.960
take precautions against missing your favorite anime shows it's the anime site

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:20.120
created by anime fans for anime fans they offer the most current episodes of

00:07:18.479 --> 00:07:24.960
new shows straight from Japan like parasite the maxim and Koko's basketball

00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:29.879
3 with a large collection of the most popular anime series like Naruto and one

00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:32.599
piece and all the content on their site is professionally subtitled so all you

00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:37.759
got to do is head over to crunchyroll.com Linus you can sign up

00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.879
console um you know your etes sketch

00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:04.680
actually that doesn't work because an edge of sketch doesn't have a network

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

00:08:08.280 --> 00:08:14.879
would be a successful product like smart etes sketch anyway the point is that

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
