The following items appear only when CPU Fan Profile is set to [Standard], [Silent],
[Turbo], or [Manual].
CPU Fan Step Up
Step up allows you to adjust how quickly the fan rotation speed changes, with level 0
being an instantaneous change in speed. The higher the level, the slower the change
in speed, and may also result in less noise, but this will also cause slower heat
dissipation.
Configuration options: [Level 0] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]
CPU Fan Step Down
Step down allows you to adjust how quickly the fan rotation speed changes, with
level 0 being an instantaneous change in speed. The higher the level, the slower the
change in speed, and may also result in less noise, but this will also cause slower
heat dissipation.
Configuration options: [Level 0] [Level 1] [Level 2] [Level 3] [Level 4] [Level 5]
CPU Fan Speed Low Limit
Allows you to set the lower speed limit for assigned fan/pump. A warning message will
appear when the limit is reached; the warning message will not appear if [Ignore] is
selected.
Configuration options: [Ignore] [200 RPM] [300 RPM] [400 RPM] [500 RPM] [600
RPM]
The following items appear only when CPU Fan Profile is set to [Manual].
CPU Fan Upper Temperature
Configure the fan/pump upper temperature to make assigned fan/pump operate at the
max. duty cycle when the source temperature reaches the limit. 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 inefficient fan/pump duty. Use
the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the upper temperature.
The fan/pump upper temperature cannot be lower than the fan/pump lower temperature.
CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle (%)
Set the maximum fan/pump duty cycle of the assigned fan/pump for when the source
temp. reaches the upper limit. 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 inefficient fan/pump duty. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the
fan/pump maximum duty cycle.
CPU Fan Middle Temperature
Configure the fan/pump middle temperature to make assigned fan/pump operate at
the mid. duty cycle when the source temperature is higher than the limit. 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 inefficient fan/pump
duty. Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the middle temperature.
