alright, last reply. There's a little chain symbol by any profile you make. if you click it you will be given a popup which lists your games to link it to. your computer is automatically registered as a game, but there's no name or anything, just a greyed out image of a computer and monitor. it's not actually disabled. click that to link the profile to the computer.this is a terribly roundabout way to handle things, but it works I guess. Thermal controls aren't too complex- this program is doing far more to obfuscate it then offer control at the moment. There's no need to apply profiles to games or so on.High temperatures are hot. Being hot makes computers fail. that's bad. it's that simple, dell.
I'm a VFX editor, so I understand that my needs sort of slam all the GPU or CPU cores to 100% for extended periods, but that's exactly the reason I need full control-When I got the bios update, the fans kicked on SEVERAL TIMES HARDER than they did when every CPU core was at 100% and the system was overheating at 98c, despite not being necessary. I understand that it's to prevent instability during a critical systems update... but it's unfair that the computer will give a bios update 100% fan speed, but not my programs that make it overheat otherwise.To be clear, I've gone into the settings and set everything to max, and it changed nothing- no extra fan speed, same 92c-98c temps, despite various processes hitching, throttling, and system instability. I don't care how loud it is. I would be wearing headphones using a server room from inside if I could- I just need the performance and reliability of the existing hardware.I'm assuming this is a bug or strange software interaction. This doesn't seem like a logical choice on the part of a designer.
critical bug- Can't increase fan speed, constant throttling and sustained temps
