2.7.4CPU Q-Fan Control [Auto]

[Auto]

Detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switch the control

 

modes.

[PWM mode]

Enables the CPU Q-Fan control in PWM mode for 4-pin CPU fan.

[DC mode]

Enables the CPU Q-Fan control in DC mode for 3-pin CPU fan.

[Disabled]

Disables the CPU Q-Fan control feature.

• The default CPU Q-Fan settings may differ when you set the CPU Q-Fan Control item to [Auto].

•The following items appear only when you set the CPU Q-Fan Control item to [Auto],

[PWM mode] or [DC mode].

CPU Fan Speed Lower Limit [200 RPM]

This item appears only when you enable the CPU Q-Fan Control feature and allows you to disable or set the CPU fan warning speed. Configuration options: [Ignore] [100RPM] [200RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM]

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%.
