Fan Speed Control

Figure 10 - Fan Speed Control
You can set the fan speed to Maximum (full power) or
Automatic/Slient. The fan speed will adjust itself auto-
matically to control the heat of the CPU/GPU. You can
use the Offset slider to adjust the settings to your prefer-
ence. However you can adjust the setting to Maximum if
you prefer.
All these settings can be overidden by the system, as a
safety precaution, if it requires heavier use of the fan.
