Fixed RPM Mode
RPM Mode allows you to set the fan speed when the CPU temperature is below 75 o C.
• When the CPU temperature reaches 75
o
C, the fan will automatically run at full speed
to protect the CPU.
• For motherboard models without the CPU fan detection latch, only 4-pin CPU fans are
controllable in Fan Xpert 3.
• The Fan Xpert 3 may not be able to detect the fan speed if your fan is installed with an
external control kit for rotation speed.
• Fan Xpert 3 does not support 2-pin fans. If you install a 2-pin fan, it can only run at its
full speed.
• If the CPU or chassis fans have been changed, the Fan Auto Tuning process should
be repeated.
DO NOT remove your fan during the Fan Auto Tuning process.
