ASUS board on the other hand, just instantly fires them up and these quick shifts are so annoying. Even manually changing the fixed fan speed meant it needed few seconds to reach 100% speed). On MSI, even if CPU temp shot up, it had a lazy fan increase curve which made it really easy on the ears. Then there is jerky and instantaneous fan changing. Here on ASUS, as soon as CPU drops in temp, case fans also instantly drop. It fired up chassis fans slower and when you stopped doing intensive tasks, it kept chassis fans running for longer because it took a bit longer to get down, resulting in a smooth chassis fan curve that always cooled down system after intensive tasks. MSI also has SYSTEM temperature which is changing much slower compared to CPU temperature and was excellent method for controlling chassis fans. Pair that with massive mouse input lag and you can imagine how literally impossible it is to adjust the fan curve with mouse lagging all over the place and neighboring control points being pushed around messing entire fan curve). Fan curve allowed you to shift control points on the curve which would always STOP at the lowest (or highest) level of the neighboring point instead of just pushing it further too like on ASUS. My old MSI X99 board had super snappy and responsive mouse on identical monitor (ASUS VG248QE) and mouse (Logitech G502) I use now. If I knew it's this bad I'd stick around with MSI, but I bought this because I generally have good experience with ASUS and now I'm stuck with this sad pile of high end components because BIOS is absolute garbage. Horrible fan curve control where all neighboring fan curve points can move others when going below or above them (pair this with above input lag!)įan speeds can only be based on CPU temperatureįan speeds are always instantaneous and super jerky and yes, I am using the latest official BIOS. And I'm really disappointed with ASUS Strix X570-E Gaming compared to 6 years old board from MSI. Naturally I picked a board that was generally highly praised, especially for its VRM so I'll be worry free if I ever plan on buying CPU with moar cores. Recently replaced my old Intel X99 system that had MSI X99A Gaming 7 and Core i7 5820K with new AMD X570 with Ryzen 5800X.
