    Is there any way I can control that thing? It really gets annoying. I don't know why it needs to run when my GPU is at god damn 30c. And I don't mean 39c or something like that, no, it literally starts spinning(at around 25-30% speed mind you) at 30c for no real reason.

    @bennyg Did you solve this in your P370EM?

    Yeah, kind of... The watercooling keeps the fans on inaudibly low ALL the time...

    Having the fans on very low at idle maintaining a constant temp is a better situation than the very annoying constant switching between on and off which both my old Asus and HM used to do.

    Fan control it seems involves hacking the EC code. I have found the odd incidence of people altering values in memory to control the end speed and a couple alpha-stage tools but never anything I found to work. I can't fathom why Clevo won't engineer a simple editable multi point fan curve like what exists on every half decent desktop mobo, which you'd expect in products made as desktop replacements. It's getting more refined over time, but is still way behind the competition.

    In the EM it's either the stock profile which waits till >90C to spin up to max, or max fans via Prema bios hotkey.

    In the DM there's at least a few choices, auto, silent, max fans, an "overclock" profile which seems to be based on load not just temps, and a useless "custom" linear profile which has a min and max temp and a single fan speed, which ends up either yoyoing in an annoying on/off cycle, or will heat all the way up to thermal throttle if you set the fan speed too low for the load.

    Well it's the P375SM-A so I got the same stupid auto, silent, maxfans and the overclock profile. I don't mind the fan spinning a little bit to cool the system down, quite the opposite, i welcome it, but friggn 25-30% fanspeed on a GPU with 30c is retarded.
