Setup

Fan Control

I use FanControl for managing the CPU fan speed.

The config file for this particular build is available for download on my Patreon, but you can follow the tips below for setting up your own config.

Configuration

Configuration for this build is very simple, as we only have one fan to worry about.

If you’re going to be using the SilverStone Air Slimmer 120, then I recommend setting up a fan curve that tops out at 70-72% or approximately 1400RPM for good balance between noise and performance.

Tuning Apps

MSI Afterburner - The industry standard overclocking / undervolting software. Cannot live without it. Developed by Unwinder.

Riva Tuner Statistics Server (RTSS) - Bundled with Afterburner. My go-to tool for setting up frame rate limits and for in-game overlays.

Overlay

This RTSS overlay is available exclusively on my Patreon.

It supports most of the popular screen resolutions (including ultrawide), and multiple CPU thread counts.

It uses RTSS sensors, so you don’t have to run any other apps in the background.
