MSI Afterburner Update to Enable Per-Fan Control for NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPUs

The upcoming software update will allow users to independently adjust speeds for each fan on triple-fan RTX 5080 GPUs, expected near the card's January 21 retail release.

• MSI Afterburner will introduce independent fan control for NVIDIA RTX 5080 GPUs with triple-fan configurations.
• The update, confirmed by the software's creator, Alexy Nicolaychuk, is expected to arrive just before the RTX 5080's release on January 21, 2025.
• Users will be able to set unique speeds and curves for each of the three fans, offering more granular cooling and noise management options.
• This feature relies on the RTX 5080's hardware, which includes three independent fan controllers, a step up from previous GPU generations.
• The update may also support other GPUs with similar hardware configurations, though this has not been explicitly confirmed.
