It seems that the settings 'Spin up time' and 'Spin down time' don't really function. So Q-Fan gets trapped and allows lower settings than the spin up voltage.īUT I didn't solved the fan speed ramp up for 2 seconds so far. If it is not low enough, just tune the fans again and while the fans getting slower you have to accelerate the fans by your fingers carefully. It calibrates the fan speeds according the PWM or DC percentage.Īfterwards you draw the fanspeed curve also below the usual 60%. Well, I use only UEFI / Q-FAN Manual settings at the moment.įirst of all you have to do the Q-Fan Tuning in UEFI. I'm not sure which one to believe.Īnyone have any thoughts and if this is normal? HWMonitor shows higher core and package temperatures but still not bad. I'd love for it to truly be 23-32c but I have a hard time believing the number despite all of my fans since they are running so quietly. I also wonder how accurate the temperature reading is from AI Suite. I'm curious as to why the BIOS tuning is completely different from AI Suite? My system seems fine but with it being so quiet and why it's different from the BIOS tuning perplexes me. No more revving at all even when playing games. The temperature reported by AI Suite for the CPU is showing as low as 23c and hits around 32-35 with heavy activity. All of the fans are spinning but at around 550pms and I can barely hear if the computer is even on. Now, my computer is almost virtually silent and it's a bit scary. I ended up downloading the AI Suite 3 and running that version of the fan tuning.

It helped but it would still noticeably ramp up at times. I decided to set a custom fan curve and a delay on the ramping up and down. After the test was done, it set my CPU fans to 100% speed which was really loud. I have 2 200mm fan intakes, 2 200mm fans on top, a 140mm exhaust and a CPU cooler with 2 140mm fans. I decided to run the fan tuning wizard in the Bios to see if that would help. When you are used to a consistent fan hum, hearing it go up and down was concerning and irritating. I set it to Standard and the fans still revved up and down. I checked the BIOS and saw it had a Q Fan section which my old board did not. With my old Asus motherboard, my system never ramped at all and if it did, it must have been very subtle so this was weird to me. I noticed that once in Windows, I would very frequently hear the fans ramp up and down as I did even simple tasks like opening a web browser. I re-used my same case and fans and just upgraded the motherboard, CPU, memory and CPU cooler.

I just built a new system with the Maximus X Code board and I'm always paranoid about temperature on new builds.
