 +====== Configuration Notes ====== 
 + 
 +To get[[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl2-index|WSL 2]] to work, I had to go into Bios (Del key during boot? I forgot) and enable Virtualization. For me, it was Tweaker → SVM Mode. 
 + 
 +To configure the fans' rates, run GIGABYTE -> Launch APP Center -> SIV (System Information Viewer) 
 + 
 +{{:general:gigabyte_appcenter_sysinfo.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +I force the CPU fan to remain at one constant rate until it gets too hot. 
 + 
 +{{:general:gigabyte_appcenter_smartfan_cpu.png?200|}} 
 + 
 +All the other fans I have on a curve.
