    Hey guys.

    As you know there's a new EC for MSI GTX0 2OX.

    before, what changed for me was :

    Better temperature in Idle (that is linked to my problem^^)

    Improved temperature in games, the new CPU fan table allows the PC to stay below 90° C for both CPU and GPU (since it's the same fan) before I sometimes reached 93°/94°C (CPU) with the previous EC (first release) (especially when the laptop is not on a desk) now my laptop in BF3 reaches 89/90°C maximum (and briefly) with cooler boost OFF of course.

    Less stuttering because of GPU boost and CPU boost I think, something was changed to hybrid power that makes the transition between stock and OC better I didn't focus on what was changed precisely but the results are there: less unexpected stuttering in BF3 (even with msi afterburner Vsync)


    The thing is that my idle fan speed doesn't satisfy me, even if my CPU reaches ~40°C with the new EC, I used to reach ~50° C in idle and it was ok for me since it's absolutely not hazardous


    How can I modify my idle fan speed ? I don't know how to use dave's tool so that my custom fan table is always applied it keeps rolling back to the previous fan table.


    PS: I still have major issues with the Bigfoot killer wireless device, random high ping, connexion drops, since it's made for gaming having each ~50 seconds 250+ ping is unacceptable I use a usb wireless gaming card and it works like a charm, if someone have a solution for that please let me know (I've tried ALL drivers on atheros website and on MSI website).

    I'm french sorry if my english is badly wirtten ^^

    You can make the fan profile apply on each boot by creating a shortcut in the startup folder for the tool.
