EVGA SR-3 DARK (160-CX-W999)
- 98 -
Fan Header DC and PWM setup
The SR-3 DARK supports both 4-pin PWM fans and 3-pin DC fans. The motherboard
uses eight 4-pin fan headers, including 2x CPU FAN (PWM), a CHA FAN (PWM/DC),
a PWR FAN (PWM/DC), 3x SYS FAN (PWM/DC), and an AUX FAN (PWM/DC).
You can locate each header on Pages 16 and 17, component numbers 3 and 4.
To configure the fans in BIOS/UEFI, first power on / restart the PC. During the
POST sequence, press [Delete] repeatedly to get into the BIOS. Once in the BIOS, use
the arrow keys or your mouse to navigate, whichever is easier, and make your way to the
“Advanced” –
“H/W Monitor Configuration” menu.
Once into the H/W Monitor section, you can see the temperature monitors across the
top. Below the monitors, each fan is already configured in Smart mode, which means
the fan controller is using a Smart curve for fan controls. Each fan can be set to a
separate fan curve. To set a Smart curve, please see the guide starting at the top of the
next page.
