Hello, I'm curious about why the fans seem to be so reactive and jump up and down in intensity so often and dramatically. I've worked with a b742 and didn't experience such issues before (even after adding a 1660 ti). Is there a way I can change my fan settings or should I use a 3rd party software like MSI afterburner? I'm…
