Of course, all this will be different from person to person and all spends upon the cooling systems used in their computer for their CPU and GPU. If I simply make a more aggressive fan curve based upon CPU temp, which sounds like you are suggesting, then my computer will be a jet engine/glorified air filter even while surfing the internet and having virtually no load or heat stress on the GPU. I do have all my fans dependent upon CPU temps, but since my CPU stay nice and cool even while my GPU is burning up, my case fans don't help cool the GPU since they aren't getting a signal concerning GPU temp. How much work the GPU performs is not related to how much the CPU performs, and is individual to each and every game or program being run as to how much it asks of the CPU or GPU at any given time. There is no direct correlation between CPU and GPU workload and heat, and therefore why we/I need fan control based upon GPU temp as well and CPU temperature. It's the GPU that produces much more heat. My CPU stays nice and cool betwen 30 to 60c even in heavy gaming sessions. Its not ideal but you can adjust the curve nicely. So mostly CPU and GPU are ramping up on gaming. The software overall is great, except the Curve setup, although I still rather use it than anything related to MSI.You can set your fans on fan expert 4 to CPU temp and go from there. Pressing "X" will close it all up, sometimes messing up the custom settings. You also need to run X1 in the background all the time, if you tinker with the software, make sure to hit the "_" on the top right instead of "X", that way it gets minimized and just runs in the background.
Easiest setup is select "Stealth", then move the lowest point to 30C and 14-15%, then check the Fan Curve Control box, and hit apply. It's also better to run the fans on a 14-15% bottom to prevent the annoyance of them turning on and off. Leaving fans on Auto is not the best solution, since if you have bad airflow and/or left your preset on "prefer maximum", your GPU on idle/desktop use will still consume over 30-40 watts, and heatsoak will be present.
When you set up a custom curve, you need to do it with your mouse one by one in the default section, NOT in the VF Curve tab, then when you're done, press apply, select a preset number on the right, and press save.
