Fan noise

I have just purchased a MSI Aegis Z2 C8NUE-1059US Gaming PC which I intend to use more for photo editing as well as studying and education. My concern is that the fans - after using the Fan Tuning option on the MSI control center - continue to produce on average 40 decibels of sound. I would like a "quiet" PC in the range of 20-25 Hz while at "idle". I have checked Task Manager and there are no large apps running in the background. Is there any thing more that I can do to lower the speed and sound of the case fans?

Thank you!

    • Full Fan Control:You can manage speeds and temperatures of all system and CPU fans within the BIOS and MSI software.
    • Temperature Targets:Set up to four temperature targets to automatically adjust fan speeds based on system temperature.
    • AI Engine:MSI's AI Engine can detect CPU and GPU temperatures and automatically adjust fan speeds accordingly.
    • DC/PWM Detection:Fan headers automatically detect if a fan operates in DC or PWM mode for optimal tuning. 

    To access and adjust fan speeds:

    • Enter BIOS: Boot your computer and access the BIOS settings by pressing the designated key during startup (usually DEL or F2).
    • Navigate to Fan Control: Find the "Fan Control" or "Hardware Monitor" section in the BIOS.
    • Select Fan Headers: Choose the specific fan headers you want to adjust.
    • Set Fan Curve: Define the desired fan speed based on temperature ranges.
