I have an Asus ROG G15 AMD Advantage Edition Laptop. 5980HX with an RX 6800M. I would like a way to set a custom fan curve without using Armoury Crate. It seemed to really bog the system down and was overall overkill for a hardware monitor / configuration tool imo. If you think I am mistaken in that conclusion, let me know please. One thing it did have was a fan control option where I could set a curve. Having removed it completely from my system and disabled it in the BIOS, I would now like to find a simple fan control software that won't bloat my system.

Any suggestions? The fans ramp up pretty much immediately upon startup and don't slow down until I turn it off. Just scrolling in task manager with all other apps closed is enough to get them rolling pretty good.

Upon googling, I have found plenty of suggestions - but I am unsure which ones would actually be good, from reputable suggestions, and which ones are potentially malware/ransomware. I do have Norton, so not a massive risk - but I still like to avoid such things.
