Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase, and vice versa. Select Workstation if your system is used as a Workstation. Select Server if your system is used as a Server. Select “Disabled, (Full Speed @12V)” to disable the fan speed control function and allow the onboard fans to constantly run at the full speed (12V). The Options are: Disabled, 4-pin (Server), 4-pin (Super Quiet) and 4-pin (Workstation).

Fan1 ~ Fan 5 Reading

This feature displays the fan speed readings from fan interfaces Fan1 through Fan5.
