I am asking this question because I noticed there wasn't an obvious answer for beginners.
The problem is very simple: I have a pretty noisy Wraith Spire CPU fan. Normally, it could run at a silent mode (set in the bios setup), it doesn't seem to slow down. This a serious issue for me since I have a set of open-back headphones that I don't want to give up, but might have to, because I can't seem to get to solve the issue.
Is there any way I could reduce the fan speed through some software? At least for when I am just listening to music and not running any other software.

I don't know what Asrock motherboard you have but chances are the fan speed is adjustable in the bios, in the hardware section. Asrock boards usually have a high level of adjustment options built in most have the option to graph 5 different speeds to 5 different temperature settings. For example in this manual page 56 to gives you an idea.
