EVGA X299 Micro (131-SX-E295)
First, choose the temperature monitor the PWM controller will use to monitor for its
temp information. It's recommended to tie the fan control to the CPU, which is
predominantly the most important temperature in the system. The exception is when
you are pushing memory overclocks HARD with 64GB of RAM installed, which may
cause PWM temps to be a concern; in that case, tie the fan control to the PWM temp.
Once you've set the Fan Control reference point, you can set the Default fan speed.
The fan speed will increase once the temperature reference point has heated up enough
to hit the Level 1 Temperature. Once it hits the Level 1 Temperature the fan controls
will override the Default speed setting based on the temperature at the time.
There are four tiers of temp control, with Level 4 fan speeds generally recommended to
be set at Max. The example above uses a fairly aggressive fan curve, but you can set this
as high or low as you wish. Make sure, however, to stay below 5-10C of the Max safe
