Well, this will be a lame thread i know. But my mobo manual didint quite explain the q-fan function properly. Internet failed me, so i tried tweaking and now have enough knowledge of this subject and thought i should share.
This Q-fan function is found on most new mobos from ASUS.
This basically controls the speed of the CPU fan at different temps. more like how it should behave.
the first option is to enable or disable it.
enabling this uncovers 3 more options,
the start voltage,
start temp and the temp at which fan speed should be max.
The Start Voltage.
this is the voltage which will be applied to the PWM wire of the fan till the required "start temp" is achieved by the CPU.
If you want quiet running(the main reason for enabling this function). you should set this at 4V, the lowest available.
The Start Speed Temp
This the temp from which there will be a linear increase in the CPU fan's RPM till the max RPM temp is hit. For quiet running, set this to the highest possible. i like to keep it at 40C though.
The Max Speed temp.
This is the temp where the fan will hit max RPM, and hopefully not, if the CPU temp still increases, the fan will maintain constant high speed.
For max cooling i encourage you to disable this function as the default mode seemed to do a better job for me(tested on my current setup, see specs)
thanks for the thanks
