CPU Smart FAN Control

Enables or disables the CPU fan speed control function.  

Enabled 

allows the CPU fan to run at

different speed according to the CPU temperature. You can adjust the fan speed with EasyTune
based on system requirements. If disabled, CPU fan runs at full speed. (Default: Enabled)

CPU Smart FAN Mode

Specifies how to control CPU fan speed. This item is configurable only if 

CPU Smart FAN

Control

 is set to 

Enabled

.

Auto

Lets BIOS autodetect the type of CPU fan installed and sets the optimal CPU
fan control mode. (Default)

Voltage

Sets Voltage mode for a 3-pin CPU fan.

PWM

Sets PWM mode for a 4-pin CPU fan.

Note: The 

Voltage

 mode can be set for a 3-pin CPU fan or a 4-pin CPU fan. However, for a 4-pin

CPU fan that is not designed following Intel PWM fan specifications, selecting PWM mode may not
effectively reduce the fan speed.
