Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Q-Fan Control [DC Mode]

[Disabled]

Disables the Chassis Q-Fan control feature.

[DC mode]

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

[PWM mode]

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

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Q-Fan Source [CPU]

The assignment fan will be controlled according to the selected temperature source. Configuration options: [CPU] [MB] [T_SENSOR1] [VRM]

For T_SENSOR1, connect a Thermistor cable to the T_SENSOR1 header then place the other end to the component to get the temperature.

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Fan Speed Low Limit [300 RPM]

This item appears only when you enable the Chassis Q-Fan Control feature and allows you to disable or set the chassis fan warning speed.

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

The following items appears only when you set the Chassis1/Chassis2/Chassis3 Q-Fan Control feature to [Enabled].

Chassis1/Chassis2/Chassis3 Fan Profile [Standard]

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

[Standard] Sets to [Standard] to make the chassis fan automatically adjust depending on the chassis temperature.

[Silent]

Sets to [Silent] to minimize the fan speed for quiet chassis fan

 

operation.

[Turbo]

Sets to [Turbo] to achieve maximum chassis fan speed.

[Manual]

Sets to [Manual] to assign detailed fan speed control parameters.

The following four items appear only when you set Chassis1/Chassis2/Chassis3 Fan Profile to [Manual].

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Upper Temperature [70]

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

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 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.

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Middle Temperature [45]

Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.

Chassis Fan 1/2/3 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.
