When the CPU temperature reaches 75o C, the fan will automatically run at full speed to protect the CPU.

For motherboard models without the CPU fan detection latch, only 4-pin CPU fans can be controlled in Fan Xpert 2.

Fan Xpert 2 may not be able to detect the fan speed if your fan is installed with an external control kit for rotation speed.

Fan Xpert 2 does not support 2-pin fans. If you install a 2-pin fan, it can only run at its full speed.

If the CPU or chassis fans have been changed, the Fan Auto Tuning process should be repeated.

DO NOT remove your fan during the Fan Auto Tuning process.
