The

CPU Fan Profile

item appears when you enable the CPU Q-Fan Control

feature.

CPU Fan Profile [Optimal]

Allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU Q-Fan. When

set to [Optimal], the CPU fan automatically adjusts depending on the CPU

temperature. Set this item to [Silent Mode] to minimize fan speed for quiet CPU fan

operation, or [Performance Mode] to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.

Configuration options: [Optimal] [Silent Mode] [Performance Mode]

Chassis Fan 1 Speed [xxxxRPM] or [Ignored] / [N/A]

The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the chassis

fan speed in rotations per minute (RPM). If the fan is not connected to the

motherboard, the field shows N/A.

Chassis Q-Fan Control [Enabled]

Allows you to enable or disable the Chassis Q-fan.

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]

The following items appear only when you enable Chassis Q-Fan Control.

Chassis Fan Ratio [Auto]

Allows you to select a fan speed ratio in the low CPU temperature.

Configuration options [Auto] [90%] [80%] [70%] [60%]

A very low fan speed ratio may cause fan speed drop and trigger the hardware

monitor warning message.

Chassis Target Temperature [37°C]

CPU fan speed will auto-adjust to reach this target temperature.

Configuration options: [28°C] [31°C] [34°C] [37°C] [40°C] [43°C] [46°C]

Power Fan Speed [xxxxRPM] or [Ignored] / [N/A]

The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects and displays the power

fan speed in rotations per minute (RPM). If the fan is not connected to the

motherboard, the field shows N/A.

Vcore Voltage, 3.3V Voltage, 5V Voltage, 12V Voltage

The onboard hardware monitor automatically detects the voltage output through

the onboard voltage regulators. Select [Ignored] if you do not want to detect this

item.
