CPU Fan Profile [Standard]

This item appears only when you enable the CPU Q-Fan Control feature and allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.

[Standard]

Sets to [Standard] to make the CPU fan automatically adjust depending on

 

the CPU temperature.

[Silent]

Sets to [Silent] to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.

[Turbo]

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

[Manual]

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

 

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

CPU Upper Temperature [70]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature. The values range from 25ºC to 75ºC.

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

Use the <+> and <-> 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 [25]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to set the value for CPU Middle Temperature. The range of the values depends on the CPU installed.

CPU Fan Middle Duty Cycle(%) [20]

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

CPU Lower Temperature [20]

Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the CPU fan’s lower temperature. The values range from 20% to 75%.

CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%) [20]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is under the lower limit, the CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle.

2.7.5Chassis Fan 1/2 Q-Fan Control [DC Mode]

These items allow you to set the chassis fans’ Q-Fan control feature into DC Mode, PWM Mode, or disable these Q-Fan controls from your motherboard. Configuration options: [Disabled] [DC Mode] [PWM Mode]

The following items appear only when you set the Chassis Fan 1/2 Q-Fan Control to [PWM Mode] or [DC Mode].
