CPU Smart FAN Control (Note)

Disabled

Disable this function.

Enabled

When this function is enabled, CPU fan will run at different speed depending on

 

CPU temperature. Users can adjust the fan speed with Easy Tune based on

 

their requirements. (Default value)

CPU Smart FAN Mode

This option is available only when CPU Smart FAN Control is enabled.

Auto

BIOS autodetects the type of CPU fan you installed and sets the optimal CPU Smart

 

FAN control mode for it. (Default value)

Voltage

Set to Voltage when you use a CPU fan with a 3-pin fan power cable.

PWM

Set to PWM when you use a CPU fan with a 4-pin fan power cable.

In fact, the Voltage option can be used for CPU fans with 3-pin or 4-pin power cables. However, some 4-pin CPU fan power cables are not designed following Intel 4-wire fans PWM control specifications. With such CPU fans, selecting PWM will not effectively reduce the fan speed.

English

(Note) Whether the CPU Smart FAN Control function is supported will depend on the CPU you install. For more detailed information please check at the FAQ section on GIGABYTE's website.
