Fan Speed Control

CPU Q-Fan Control [Auto]

[Disabled]

Disables the Q-Fan control.

[Auto]

Enables the CPU Q-Fan control for 4-pin CPU fan. Select this mode for the

 

PWM mode Q-Fan control.

[Advance Mode]

When a 3-pin CPU fan is installed, select this mode for the DC mode

 

Q-Fan control.

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

CPU Fan Speed Low Limit [600 RPM]

Allows you to disable or set the CPU fan warning speed.

Configuration options: [Ignore] [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]

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 <+> 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 40% 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(%) [60]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 60% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is under 60ºC, the CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle.
