I currently overclock my I7 2600k at 4.4 gigahertz and am wanting to know what would be a good fan control program. I currently use Thermal Radar by Asus with the motherboard AI Suite and well it kinds sucks...

In windows I get around 40c
in New games like Deus Ex Man Kind Divided the heat on the CPU spikes to 62c

I am not sure if these are really that high, but in Mankind Divided it just creeps up and up. Anyhow What is a good program to manage fan speeds to be efficient without blowing hard all the time?

The fan does work also I am not sure if those are jsut normal temps or what the deal is I jsut figure it would be a good idea to get a program with more options to ramp up the spead more gradually without it blowing hard all the time...

Any advice is appreciated.

Those sounds like fine temps to me. Are you concerned the temps are too high? Is it too loud? I'm curious what you think they should be. Modern games tax the cpu more, and hence the cpus temp are going to show that. I don't play your game, in particular, but I get temps in the 60s during the summer months, playing modern titles too. I'm running a hotter chip(4790k), but I wouldn't worry about temps in the 60s. I'd worry about temps in the upper 70s or more.
I use my mobos bios fan control, works slick as can be, granted I'm using a MSI board, but I know Asus has fan control on theirs too and it should be more than adequate.

yeah i jsut worry it is not pushing it enough, but the fact that their "turbo" preset for fan speeds maxes out the fan speed at 60c must mean that can handle at least 20 or so more than that... I mean mine the heat fluxes +/- 10 degrees a click sometimes.
