Chassis Fan 1-4 Lower Temperature [40]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the lower limit of the Chassis Fan 1-4
temperature. The values range from 20 to 75. The Chassis Fan 1-4 will
operate at the minimum duty cycle when the temperature is lower than the
limit.
Chassis Fan 1-4 Min. Duty Cycle(%) [60]
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the minimum Chassis Fan 1-4 fan duty
cycle. The values range from 0% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is
under the limit, the Chassis Fan 1-4 fan will operate at the minimum duty
cycle.
ASUS FAN EXTENSION CARD is required to configure these items
Extension Fan 1-4 Q-Fan Control [DC Mode]
[Disabled] Disable the Extension Fan Q-Fan control feature.
