Fan Noise

So i have this problem,

Whenever i open unreal my fans going crazy, even without anything specific to render.

I Checked the temperatures but they seems fine(60 C) - laptop.I optimized the fps to run in 30 fps and still fans going crazy .

Any solutions on this ?

Thanks.

Does this happen with other Software/Games at 60 C ?
if not, you might need to configure you fan settings.

It does but not so much noise ,the degrees are the same but with less noise on games.

I need to configure fan settings from unreal or from my pc ?

Your PC. There might be software already installed on your laptop to control fan speed. If not you could search for your “Laptop model + control fan speed” to see if there is any other way.
Just make sure you don’t download anything from sites you don’t trust.

Are you sure this is safe ?

I mean if i decrease the fan speed this will not cause my cpu to overheat ?

This happens only with unreal so maybe its some settings that need to be configured ,i dont know just guessing…

I don’t know. proceed at your own risk.


Another more safe thing you could try is reduce your Quality settings in Unreal (forgot about this the first time, my bad). it’s under Settings → Engine Scalability Settings. Try Medium or High instead of Epic.

Greetings @Thanosrom

Is the noise coming from your GPU fan, CPU fan, or are you referencing case fans? Unreal Engine can put a full load on a PC when you’re loading up a level. I’d start by monitoring your temperatures on both your GPU and CPU. If your temps are staying within a safe range, it’s usually alright. (Take that with a grain a salt as it’s simply my opinion and not from Epic) The fans themselves should speed up when the power required increases in order to keep the components cooled. So, the fans running up high are usually a good sign.

As for the noise, that’s not uncommon. Some components/brands are louder than others. I did some bench mark tests on my system and found it making noises that no game or application ever made it make before too. But, when it went under a full load, it was cranked up! I hope this helps!

Thanks it worked perfect , i put medium graphics and its kinda better ,the fans and temperatures are more optimized now.

Thanks again :slight_smile:

You’re most welcome!
