Fan Speed Control
Figure 8 - Fan Speed Control
You can set the fan speed to Maximum (full power), Au-
tomatic/Slient or Custom (Design I Only). The fan
speed will adjust itself automatically to control the heat of
the CPU/GPU. You can use the Offset slider to adjust the
settings to your preference. However you can adjust the
setting to Maximum if you prefer.
(Design I Only) The Custom setting allows you to click
and drag on any of the 2 midrange nodes on the graph in
order to adjust the temperature parameters of the CPU
Fan or GPU Fan.
All these settings can be overidden by the system, as a
safety precaution, if it requires heavier use of the fan.
