STEP 3: T SETTINGS FOR THERMAL
MIN
CALIBRATION CHANNELS
T is the temperature at which the fans start to turn on under
MIN
automatic fan control. The speed at which the fan runs at T
programmed later. The T
MIN
channel specific, for example, 25°C for ambient channel, 30°C
for VRM temperature, and 40°C for processor temperature.
T is an 8-bit value, either twos complement or Offset 64, that
MIN
can be programmed in 1°C increments. There is a T
associated with each temperature measurement channel:
Remote 1 Local, and Remote 2 Temp. Once the T
exceeded, the fan turns on and runs at the minimum PWM
duty cycle. The fan turns off once the temperature has dropped
below T – T .
MIN HYST
To overcome fan inertia, the fan is spun up until two valid
TACH rising edges are counted. See the Fan Startup Timeout
section for more details. In some cases, primarily for psycho-
acoustic reasons, it is desirable that the fan never switch off
below T . Bits <7:5> of Enhanced Acoustics Register 1 (Reg.
MIN
0x62), when set, keep the fans running at the PWM minimum
duty cycle, if the temperature should fall below T
