Allow you to set the appropriate performance levels for chassis fans.
If Chassis FAN 1(~3) Profile is set to [Manual], we suggest raising your fan/pump duty
to 100% if your CPU temperature exceeds 75°C. Please be noted CPU performance will
throttle due to overheating with inefcient fan/pump duty.
The following items will not appear if you set Chassis Fan 1(~3) Profile to [Full Speed].
