The Q-Fan BIOS controls in relation to the PWM CPU and PWM CPU-opt headers on the P8Z68 allow the setting of a minimum fan rpm down to 200 rpm or 'ignore'. On both boards, it appears that the fan control will not go below 60% of max RPM.

#3pin pwm fancontrol software
My issue with all the typical recommended system build guides out there is that none of them really pay too much attention to noise (especially noise at idle, which is my primary concern).įinally, is it even worth it to go overboard and try to get all PWM fans? What are the advantages of PWM vs a typical fan with a fan control? Is it really just that you can control it via software to preset temperatures? I just don't know. Third, are all motherboards this way? Are there other boards with multiple PWM connections that don't have the 60% restriction? I'm not sold on ASUS.if MSI, Intel or someone else has a reliable motherboard with good PWM connections and modest overclockability and heat sinks that don't get in the way, that's fine with me. 6835185057) so that I have more downward room to play with?
Second, since I'm concerned about this, does it make more sense for me to get a lower max RPM fan so (say, this 800 RPM model. I have concerns that this might result in too much noise after I put 3 in my case.įirst, why would a motherboard have a lower limit on fan speed in the first place if the fan could support that low voltage? So if I were to get a Scythe SY1225SL12LM-P 120mm (which maxes at 1300 RPM. There is conflicting information about whether the chassis PWM fan control on the P8Z68 is actually PWM, but let's just assume that it is. The P8Z68 has 3 PWM fan controls (2 for the CPU, 1 for the chassis). The Gene-Z appears to have 5(!) PWM fan controls. For example, I'm looking at two different ASUS motherboards, the Maximus Gene-Z (. voltage control for regulating fan speed. I'm struggling with understanding the different ins and outs of air cooling - specifically, PWM vs. If it is, please just link it and I'll leave you alone So I apologize if this information is available elsewhere and I'm just missing it.
