mmm strange, I did not touch the BIOS because if the software fail , I want the bios to take over.

might have different step over the bios or FanControl, the number you have to look is the RPM.
I thought it was necessary to disable fan control in the BIOS otherwise it would fight with the software to control the fans. I have 4 system fans that are all Noctua NF-S12A PWM with a range of 300-1200 RPM. I have 2 plugged into one fan header on the motherboard and 2 plugged into another fan header. Both are 4 pin headers. The fans would go down near their designated minimum 300 RPM before stopping when the BIOS was controlling them but with FanControl they will only go down to 600-650 RPM before stopping.

Thank you and cpt00 for suggesting FanControl. I've just started trying it and hope you can please answer a couple questions:
1) I disabled BIOS control of my CPU and Case fans so the FanControl software could have full control of them. Do I need to do something similar for the GPU? If so, what do I use to disable the GPU BIOS from controlling its fans?
2) Although FanControl is detecting/controlling my system fans it can't lower their RPM % as low as the motherboard BIOS could before they stop turning. For example, the BIOS had no problem running them at 25% but with SpeedControl they stop below 40%. Have you experienced anything similar? Is there a way to overcome this problem?
Thanks again!
Oooooooh no, you are doing this wrong. Setup your MB bios fan control to normal, good standalone settings or full speed settings. Make sure they are set to PWM in the bios for any PWM controlled fans, otherwise they may run in voltage control mode and you won't be able to turn them down as far. If Fan Control is turned off by accident you want the bios to run things, or if you set full speed in the bios you will know if FC is off, by the full speed fans (fail-on condition). If Fan Control is running it will have no problem overriding any bios fan settings or GPU fan settings by bios or X1/AB.

in my bios I have PMW/DC/Auto options.
I did setup DC for my Dc 3 pins fans, and PMW for my PMW.
BUT, it was working anyway on Auto.
I had issues with latest update tho, I'm running V108

To clarify, I only meant that I disabled the fan curves in the motherboard BIOS so it isn't actively trying to adjust fan speeds. In the absence of software controlling them, they run at a full speed. So, I'm still left with my problem of why the BIOS can run the case fans near their lowest rated RPM of 300 whereas the FanControl software can only slow them down to ~600 RPM before the fans shutoff. Likewise, I've now discovered it also can only run the 3060 Ti fans down to 470 RPM (40%) and 611 RPM (43%) before they stop. Whereas I've read a couple people say in this thread they were able to run theirs at 15%. So, it seems like FanControl can't run ANY of my fans as slow as they are capable of running. If anyone has faced this issue or has any insight on how to deal with it, please reply. Thanks!

It is most likely a compatibility issue between the EC of the motherboard and FanControl. Probably just a simple hex/binary value difference. Is there a reason you want to use FanControl over the bios implementation? May make more sense to fiddle with the bios fan control to get it to your liking than use software to do so (for the case fans that is).

well, doesn't mean the 40% of FanControl equal 40% of precision x1. FanControl got an other way to trigger speed, and you might end up with the same RPM result
Here the issue is the speed ramp of EVGA fans, since the hysteresis wont work.
FanControl hysteresis is working and also customizable.

OK, considering just RPMs for your EVGA 3060 Ti XC, using FanControl (or any other software) what is the lowest RPMs you can get on its two fans before they stop spinning? Like I said previously, mine will only go down as low as 470 RPM on one of the fans and 611 RPM on the other fan. Below that, they stop turning. This seems high to me; I thought they could run at lower RPMs. If you can get yours to run slower, please post what settings you are using in FanControl or whatever other software you're using. It will be helpful to me and also I think to others who come across this thread in the future. Thanks!
