Fan Speed Control

CPU Q-Fan Control [Auto]

[Auto]

Detect the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switch the control

 

modes.

[DC Mode]

Enable the CPU Q-Fan control in DC mode for 3-pin CPU fan.

[PWM Mode]

Enable the CPU Q-Fan control in PWM mode for 4-pin CPU fan.

The following items appear only when you set the CPU Q-Fan Control to [Auto].

CPU Fan Speed Lower Limit [300 RPM]

This item allows you to set the low limit warning for CPU Fan speed.

Configuration options: [Ignore] [200 RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600 RPM]

CPU Fan Profile [Standard]

This item allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.

[Standard] Set to make the CPU fan adjust automatically depending on the CPU temperature.

[Silent]

Set to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.

[Turbo]

Set to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.

[Manual]

Set to assign the detailed fan speed control parameters.

The following items appear only when you set the CPU Fan Profile to [Manual].

CPU Upper Temperature [70]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature. The values range from 20ºC to 75ºC.

CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle (%) [100]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle.

CPU Middle Temperature [45]

Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.

CPU Fan Middle. Duty Cycle (%) [60]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle.

CPU Lower Temperature [40]

Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.

CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%) [60]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 0% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is under 40ºC, the CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle.
