CPU Fan Profile
This item allows you to set the appropriate performance level of the CPU fan.
[Standard] Set to make the CPU fan adjust automatically depending on the CPU
temperature.
[Silent] Set to minimize the fan speed for quiet CPU fan operation.
[Turbo] Set to achieve maximum CPU fan speed.
[Manual] Set to assign the detailed fan speed control parameters.
The following items appear only when CPU Fan Profile is set to [Manual].
CPU Upper Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the upper limit of the CPU temperature.
The CPU fan will operate at the maximum duty cycle when the
temperature source is higher than the limit.
CPU Fan Max. Duty Cycle (%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the maximum CPU fan duty cycle. When
the temperature source reaches the upper limit, the CPU fan will operate
at the maximum duty cycle.
CPU Middle Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the middle limit of the CPU temperature.
CPU Fan Middle. Duty Cycle (%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the CPU fan middle duty cycle.
CPU Lower Temperature
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the lower limit of the CPU temperature.
The CPU fan will operate at the minimum duty cycle when the temperature
source is lower than the limit.
CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle(%)
Use the <+> or <-> keys to adjust the minimum CPU fan duty cycle. When
the temperature source is under the limit, the CPU fan will operate at the
minimum duty cycle.
