Fan Speed Control

CPU Q-Fan Control [Disabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the CPU fan controller.

[Disabled]

Disables the CPU Q-fan controller.

[Enabled]

Enables the CPU Q-fan controller.

The following three items appear when you enable the CPU Fan Control feature.

CPU Fan Speed Low Limit [600 RPM]

Allows you to set the low speed limit of the CPU fan and the system sends warning message when the fan speed drops below the set value.

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

CPU Fan Profile [Standard]

Allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.

[Standard]

Sets to [Standard] to make the chassis fan automatically adjust

 

depending on the CPU temperature.

[Silent]

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

[Turbo]

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

[Manual]

Sets to [Manual] to display more items for you to manually adjust the

 

CPU upper/lower temperature, and CPU fan upper/lower duty cycle.

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 20ºC 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 Lower Temperature [20]

Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.

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 40ºC, the CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle.
