Q-Fan Configuration
Q-Fan Tuning
Click this item to automatically detect the lowest speed and congure the minimum
duty cycle for each fan.
CPU Q-Fan Control
This item allows you to set the CPU Q-Fan operating mode.
[Auto] Detects the type of CPU fan installed and automatically switches
the control modes.
[PWM Mode] Enables the CPU Q-Fan Control feature in PWM mode for 4-pin
CPU fan.
[DC Mode] Enables the CPU Q-Fan Control feature in DC mode for 3-pin
CPU fan.
[Disabled] Disables the Q-Fan Control.
The following items appear only when CPU Q-Fan Control is set to [Auto], [PWM Mode],
or [DC Mode].
CPU Fan Step Up
This item allows you to set the value of the CPU fan step up.
Conguration options: [0 sec] [2.1 sec] [2.8 sec] [3.6 sec] [4.2 sec] [5.0 sec] [6.3 sec]
[8.5 sec] [12 sec] [25 sec]

CPU Fan Profile
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 CPU Fan Profile is set to [Manual].
CPU Upper Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU Fan
temperature. The CPU Fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle when
the temperature source is higher than the limit.
