2.7.4 Q-Fan Configuration
The subitems in this menu allows you to configure the Q‑Fan features.
Qfan Tuning
Click this item to automatically detect the lowest speed and configure the minimum duty cycle
for each fan.
CPU Q-Fan Control [PWM Mode]
[Auto] Enables the CPU Q‑Fan control for 4‑pin CPU fan.
[Disabled] Disables the CPU Q‑Fan control feature.
[PWM Mode] Enable the CPU Q‑Fan control in PWM mode for 4‑pin CPU fan.
[DC Mode] Enable the CPU Q‑Fan control in DC mode for 3‑pin CPU fan.
CPU Fan Speed Lower Limit [300 RPM]
This item appears only when you enable the CPU Q‑Fan Control feature and allows you to
disable or set the CPU fan warning speed. Configuration options: [Ignore] [200RPM] [300
RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600RPM]
CPU Fan Profile [Standard]
This item appears only when you enable the CPU Q‑Fan Control feature and allows you to
set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.
[Standard] Sets to [Standard] to make the CPU fan automatically adjust depending on
the CPU temperature.
[Silent] Sets to [Silent] to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.
[Turbo] Sets to [Turbo] to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.
[Manual] Sets to [Manual] to assign detailed fan speed control parameters.
The following items appear only when you set CPU Fan Profile to [Manual].
CPU Upper Temperature [70]
Use the <+> and <‑> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature. The values
range from 25ºC to 75ºC.
CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle(%) [100]
Use the <+> and <‑> 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 Middle Temperature [25]
Use the <+> or <‑> keys to set the value for CPU Middle Temperature. The range of
the values depends on the CPU installed.
CPU Fan Middle Duty Cycle(%) [20]
Use the <+> or <‑> keys to adjust the CPU fan middle duty cycle. The values range
from 20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan
operates at the maximum duty cycle.
CPU Lower Temperature [20]
Use the <+> or <‑> keys to adjust the CPU fan's lower temperature. The values range
from 0°C to 75°C.
