Some tools made by people to reduce the bloat of Windows 10/11. Tell me why people would go through the trouble of developing these tools if Windows was bloat free? * https://github.com/builtbybel/ThisIsWin11 * https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas * https://christitus.com/debloat-windows-10-2020/ * https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

Here, if you use Belim's ThisIsWin11 you can get rid of all of the bloatware, install some really handy tweaks and extensions, and make your start menu look like this.
PSA: Windows 7 is not safe. You're not "cool" for using an unsafe operating system.

Move to Linux if you hate new Windows so much, install Windows 11 and strip it down, do something. But don't stay on an OS that isn't receiving security updates.

You don't really need PID, just a decent fan curve with https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I think you're looking for FanControl https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases There is a bit of initial setup but nothing crazy, and it guides you through with a nice and clean UI. Once you're in, you can set your fan curve and all the smaller details if you want, like how long will the fans take to spin up or spin down, or how long to delay a speed change after hitting a certain temperature threshold so that its not constantly revving up and down

You could even replace all the fans with Noctua nf a12s and control using this and still have saved money: https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases
Recently built a PC and it was dead silent for the first few weeks, but a couple days ago it started producing this low humming/buzzing sound. Any idea what could be causing this?

MSI Afterburner should work for gpu fans. Motherboards typically have their own version of software for fan control, so you could use that (dl from mfg website), or there's this one that I know of that should work for any mobo (although there's probably others): https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases
