*That's not my terminal output btw, so don't strain your eyes trying to read it, lol. It is the fancontrol tool that I used though.

After installing Pop OS, my fans have been running super high, and I had no idea why that changed. My fan curves in my BIOS haven't changed (I even lowered it to "silent" mode), and my temps are low. After a long time messing around with the fancontrol tool, I somehow made it worse, so I uninstalled fancontrol and am just dealing with it. I think it must have been my Corsair software on windows that was keeping my fans running at reasonable speeds before, and without it, it reverts back to my BIOS controls. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal, but it did inspire me to make a meme out of it.

I'm overdue for a new build anyway, and I will not be going for Corsair again. It's exciting to get to pick out all components that play well with Linux out of the box.

For future reference, there is the OpenLinkHub project that does RGB control for just about all Corsair products, and fan control if using one of the Corsair fan controllers. In my case, I needed it because RGB, but also in order to have my fan speed based on water temperature instead of CPU load.

Oh no, this is going to make me dive back into trying to fix the problem. Thank you
