CPU_FAN1, PUMP_FAN1, SYS_FAN1: Fan Connectors

Fan connectors can be classified as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) Mode or DC Mode.

PWM Mode fan connectors provide constant 12V output and adjust fan speed with

speed control signal. DC Mode fan connectors control fan speed by changing voltage.

The auto mode fan connectors can automatically detect PWM and DC mode.
You can control fans in

BIOS> HARDWARE MONITOR

panel. It allows you to set DC

or PWM to your fan type. Check the

Smart Fan Mode

, the fan speed will change

according to the CPU or system temperature. Uncheck the

Smart Fan Mode

, the fan

will spin at maximum speed.

Important

Make sure fans are working properly after switching the PWM/ DC mode.
