CPU FAN: Mid Speed

Set the parameter of the CPU fan speed.

The CPU FAN: Mid Speed option configures the speed of the CPU fan when the CPU temperature exceeds the temperature set in Temp Limit of Mid Speed. The parameter can be adjusted from 0~127. Higher parameter means faster CPU fan speed. (Default parameter: 12)

CPU FAN: High Speed

Set the parameter of the CPU fan speed.

The CPU FAN: High Speed option configures the speed of the CPU fan when the CPU temperature exceeds the temperature set in Temp Limit of High Speed. The parameter can be adjusted from 0~127. Higher parameter means faster CPU fan speed. (Default parameter: 80)

Temp of FAN turn off (Default temperature: 0oC)

When the CPU temperature is below the value set in this option, the CPU fan will stop spinning.

Temp Limit of Low Speed (Default temperature: 20oC)

The CPU fan will stop spinning when the CPU temperature is below the value set in Temp of FAN turn off option. The CPU fan will start to spin again with the parameter set in CPU FAN: Low Speed when the CPU temperature exceeds the value set in Temp Limit of Low Speed.

Temp Limit of Mid Speed (Default temperature: 50oC)

When the CPU temperature exceeds the value set in this option, the CPU fan spins with the parameter specified in CPU FAN: Mid Speed. For example, by default, when the CPU temperature exceeds 50oC, CPU fan runs with parameter 12.

Temp Limit of High Speed (Default temperature: 60oC)

When the CPU temperature exceeds the value set in this option, the CPU fan rotates with the parameter specified in CPU FAN: High Speed. For example, by default, when the CPU temperature exceeds 60oC, CPU fan runs with parameter 80.

Temp of full FAN Speed (Default temperature: 70oC)

When the CPU temperature exceeds the value set in this option, the CPU fan runs at full speed.
