What's the best way to set a fan curve for my RTX 5090?

-

I’m trying to customize the fan curve for my RTX 5090 MSI Gaming Trio, but I’m struggling to figure it out. I watched a tutorial on using MSI Afterburner, and I thought I set it up correctly, but the fan speeds don’t seem to change when the GPU heats up during gaming. Any tips or guidance would be much appreciated!

Make sure you hit the apply button after setting your fan curve. Sometimes it won’t automatically take effect unless you confirm it. Also, check if your fan control settings in Afterburner are actually enabled. If they look good and still aren’t working, try restarting the software.

Yeah, I double-checked everything and the apply button was pressed, but the fans just stay silent during gameplay when the temp rises.
