Pro WS W680-ACE Series BIOS Manual
Chassis Fan(s) Configuration
Chassis Fan 1-3 Q-Fan Control
Allows you to set the Chassis Fan 1-3 operating mode.
[Auto Detect] Detects the type of installed fan/pump and automatically
switches the control modes.
[DC Mode] Enables the Q-Fan Control feature in DC mode for 3-pin fan/
pump.
[PWM Mode] Enables the Q-Fan Control feature in PWM mode for 4-pin fan/
pump.
Chassis Fan 1-3 Profile
Allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the assigned fan/pump. When
selecting [Manual], we suggest raising your fan/pump duty to 100% if your CPU
temperature exceeds 75°C. Please be noted CPU performance will throttle due to
overheating with inefficient fan/pump duty.
Configuration options: [Standard] [Silent] [Turbo] [Full Speed] [Manual]
The following items appear only when CPU Fan 1-3 Profile is set to [Standard], [Silent],
[Turbo], or [Manual].
Chassis Fan 1-3 Q-Fan Source
The assigned fan/pump will be controlled according to the selected temperature source.
Configuration options: [CPU] [MotherBoard] [VRM] [Chipset] [T_Sensor] [Multiple
Sources]
Chassis Fan 1-3 Step Up
Step up allows you to adjust how quickly the fan rotation speed changes, with level 0
being an instantaneous change in speed. The higher the level, the slower the change in
speed, and may also result in less noise, but this will also cause slower heat dissipation.
Configuration options: [Level 0] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]
Chassis Fan 1-3 Step Down
Step down allows you to adjust how quickly the fan rotation speed changes, with level 0
being an instantaneous change in speed. The higher the level, the slower the change in
speed, which may result in longer period with more noise.
Configuration options: [Level 0] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]
Chassis Fan 1-3 Speed Low Limit
Allows you to set the lower speed limit for assigned fan/pump. A warning message will
appear when the limit is reached; the warning message will not appear if [Ignore] is
selected.
Configuration options: [Ignore] [200 RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600 RPM]
The following items appear only when Chassis Fan 1-3 Profile is set to [Manual].
Chassis Fan 1-3 Upper Temperature
Configure the fan/pump upper temperature to make assigned fan/pump operate at the
max. duty cycle when the source temperature reaches the limit. We suggest raising your
fan/pump duty to 100% if your CPU temperature exceeds 75°C. Please be noted CPU
performance will throttle due to overheating with inefficient fan/pump duty. Use the <+> or
<-> keys to adjust the upper temperature.
The fan/pump upper temperature cannot be lower than the fan/pump lower temperature.
