corecycler VS FanControl.Releases

getting lucky with the binning and undervolting as much as possible (+1 after last stable known value) (tested in multiple days with corecycler using Prime95 and y-cruncher)

Read the developer's statements from GitHub:

What I learned coming over from Intel is that in addition to stressing full loads on the CPU and memory systems for stability testing is that you also need to test bursty light loads as well. Corecycler uses Prime95 (default), Ycruncher, and Aida (you need to download) to test single core stability. I use OCCT & Prime95 to get a rough idea for a stable all core load, then use Corecycler with Ycruncher to test light loads.

Here's a template version of my Excel worksheet I used during my process. It's critical to tracking all your testing. https://we.tl/t-UHg9gnTNaGThe key is to ONLY test 1 core at a time with CoreCycler (https://github.com/sp00n/corecycler) until it has been validated for 12 hours. If it fails the Y-CRUNCHER test (y-cruncher error, hard reboot/freeze, BSOD) under the parameters shown in that sheet, you need to lower the CO setting on that core by 1-2 and test again until it passes for 12 hours.You want to also make sure to keep an eye on Windows Event Viewer to see if the core you are testing is producing any WHEA errors as well. That will alsocount as a FAILED validation run, and you'll need to lower it 1-2 and restart testing in Y-Cruncher again.Once it's passed for 12 hours, mark that core/line green on the sheet, 0 it out again in BIOS, and move onto the next one.Here's my CoreCycler config file. It's already setup to start at Core 0, 720m, y-cruncher, 2 threads, with all the correct testsselected. https://we.tl/t-gK3fc40BR1

You can test it extensively with corecycler ( https://github.com/sp00n/corecycler) with y-cruncher set as the stress tester.

Not all cores are equal. You could try Curve optimiser per core, test with Corecycler. Someone made an automated tool for it. Link

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

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

If your fans are heywire, draining your bats download fan control. Works great.https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases

I've seen a lot of reccs pointing to https://github.com/Rem0o/FanControl.Releases if you don't want to stick with your BIOS to control fans.

Being a Corsair PSU, you might be able to control the fan curve with this open source fan software

This app relatively the same feature, but is not open source and run only on Windows
