CPU Smart FAN Mode
This option is available only when CPU Smart FAN Control is enabled.

FAN control mode for it. (Default value)
Voltage Set to Voltage when you use a CPU fan with a 3-pin fan power cable.
PWM Set to PWM when you use a CPU fan with a 4-pin fan power cable.
In fact, the Voltage option can be used for CPU fans with 3-pin or 4-pin power cables. However,
some 4-pin CPU fan power cables are not designed following Intel 4-wire fans PWM control
specifications. With such CPU fans, selecting PWM will not effectively reduce the fan speed.
