[Auto] Detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switches the
mode control. When a 3-pin CPU fan is installed, select this mode for the
DC mode Q-Fan control.
[DC Mode] Enables the CPU Q-Fan control feature in DC mode for 3-pin CPU fan.
[PWM Mode] Enables the CPU Q-Fan control feature in PWM mode for 4-pin CPU fan.
The following items appear only when you set the CPU Q-Fan Control to [Auto].
CPU Fan Speed Lower Limit [300 RPM]
This item allows you to set the low limit warning for CPU Fan speed.
Configuration options: [Ignore] [200 RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600 RPM]
CPU Fan Profile [Standard]
This item allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.
[Standard] Set to make the CPU fan adjust automatically depending on the CPU
temperature.
[Silent] Set to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.
[Turbo] Set to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.
[Manual] Set to assign the detailed fan speed control parameters.
The following items appear only when you set the CPU Fan Profile to [Manual].
CPU Upper Temperature [70]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature.
The values range from 20ºC to 75ºC.
CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle (%) [100]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The
values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the
upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle.

Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.
CPU Fan Middle. Duty Cycle (%) [60]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The
values range from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the
upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle.
CPU Lower Temperature [40]
Displays the lower limit of the CPU temperature.
CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%) [60]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. The
values range from 0% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is under 40ºC,
the CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle.
Chassis Fan 1/2/3 Q-Fan Control [DC Mode]
[Disabled] Disables the Chassis Q-Fan control feature.
