Overview of Components
Switching fan mode and adjusting fan speed
You can switch between PWM mode and DC mode and adjust fan speed in
BIOS >
HARDWARE MONITOR
.
Select
PWM
mode or
DC
mode
Important
Make sure fans are working properly after switching the PWM/ DC mode.
There are gradient points of the fan speed that allow you to adjust
fan speed in relation to CPU temperature.
