ROG STRIX X299-E Gaming BIOS Manual
The CPU upper temperature cannot be lower than the CPU lower temperature.
CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle (%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU Fan duty cycle.
When the temperature source reaches the upper limit, the CPU Fan will
operate at the maximum duty cycle.
The CPU fan max. duty cycle cannot be lower than the CPU fan min. duty cycle.
CPU Middle Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the middle limit of the CPU temperature.
CPU Fan Middle. Duty Cycle (%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the CPU Fan middle duty cycle.
CPU Lower Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the lower limit of the CPU temperature.
The CPU Fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle when the
temperature source is lower than the limit.
CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU Fan duty cycle.
When the temperature source is under the limit, the CPU Fan will operate
at the minimum duty cycle.
Chassis Fan(s) Configuration
Chassis Fan 1-2 Q-Fan Control
This item allows you to set the chassis fan operating mode.
[Auto] Detects the type of chassis fan installed and automatically
switches the control modes.
[PWM Mode] Enables the Chassis Fan Q-Fan Control feature in PWM mode for
4-pin chassis fan.
[DC Mode] Enables the Chassis Fan Q-Fan Control feature in DC mode for
3-pin chassis fan.
[Disabled] Disables the Q-Fan control.
The following items appear only when Chassis Fan 1-2 Q-Fan Control is set to [Auto],
[PWM Mode], or [DC Mode].
Chassis Fan 1-2 Q-Fan Source
The assigned fan will be controlled according to the selected temperature source.
Conguration options: [CPU] [MotherBoard] [VRM] [PCH] [T Sensor] [EXT_Sensor1]
[EXT_Sensor2] [EXT_Sensor3] [Multiple Sources]
• For T_Sensor and EXT_Sensor1-3, connect a Thermistor cable to one of
these connectors, then tape the other end on a critical component to control its
temperature. An ASUS FAN EXTENSION CARD is required to enable these items.
• For Multiple Sources, select up to three temperature sources and the fan will
automatically change based on the highest temperature.
