CPU Q-Fan Control [Enabled]

[Disabled] 

Disables the CPU Q-Fan control feature.

[Enabled] 

Enables the CPU Q-Fan control feature.

CPU Fan Speed Low Limit [600 RPM]

This item appears only when you enable the 

CPU Q-Fan Control

 feature and allows 

you to disable or set the CPU fan warning speed. 

Configuration options: [Ignore] [200RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600 RPM]

CPU Fan Profile [Standard]

This item appears only when you enable the 

CPU Q-Fan Control

 feature and allows 

you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.

[Standard]   Sets to [Standard] to make the CPU fan automatically adjust depending on 

the CPU temperature.

[Silent] 

 Sets to [Silent] to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.

[Turbo] 

Sets to [Turbo] to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.

[Manual]  Sets to [Manual] to assign detailed fan speed control parameters.

The following four items appear only when you set 

CPU Fan Profile

 to [Manual].

CPU Upper Temperature [70ºC]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature. The values range 

from 20ºC to 75ºC. 

CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle(%) [100%]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 

20% to 100%. When the CPU temperature reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan will operate at 

the maximum duty cycle.

CPU Lower Temperature [20ºC]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the lower limit of the CPU temperature. The values range 

from 20ºC to 75ºC

CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%) [20%]

Use the <+> and <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. The values range from 

0% to 100%. When the CPU temperature is under the lower limit, the CPU fan will operate at the 

minimum duty cycle.

2.6.4 

Chassis Q-Fan Control [Enabled]

[Disabled]
