CPU Q-Fan Control [Auto] Allows you to set the CPU Q-Fan operating mode. [Auto] Enables the CPU Q-Fan control feature in PWM mode for 4-pin CPU fan. [Advance Mode] Detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switches the mode control. When a 3-pin CPU fan is installed, select this mode for the DC mode Q-Fan control. [Disabled] Disables the 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 set the low limit warning for CPU Fan 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 or 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 or 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. The values range from 20ºC to 75ºC. CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%) [20] Use the or 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. Chassis Q-Fan Control 1/4 [Enabled] [Disabled] Disables the Chassis Q-Fan control feature. [Enabled] Enables the Chassis Q-Fan control feature. Chapter 3 3-40 Chapter 3: BIOS setup
