resistance and offers in this setup an unparalleled noise-
performance ratio.

*We recommend not to chain more than 5 fans as
some motherboards may only deliver 1.0A per fan
header. Please consult your motherboard
specification.

Activate PWM Control
In the mainboard BIOS, you can activate and
configure the PWM fan speed. Please note the
examples below are for reference only. Refer to
your mainboard manual regarding the settings in
your BIOS.
ASRockFM2A85X-ITX (UEFI Setup Utility)
H/W Monitor > CPU_FAN1 Setting > Silent Mode
CPU_FAN1 Setting
Silent Mode

Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H (CMOS Setup Utility)
PC Health Status > CPU Smart FAN Control [Enable]
CPU Smart FAN Mode [Auto]
ASRock H55M/USB 3 P1.40 (BIOS Setup Utility)
H/W Monitor > CPU Fan Setting >
CPU Fan Setting [Automatic mode]
Notes:
- Target Fan Speed [Level 1 - 9]
- At Level 1, the case fan may NOT spin at start up, it
will spin at a higher CPU temperature.
JW Technology JW-H55M-PRO V 1.01
(BIOS Setup Utility)
Power > PC Health Status >
CPU Fan Mode [Manual] Target Fan Speed [0 - 255]
Notes:
- Fan will spin at minimum speed at 40-60.
- Approximate PWM Value would be Target Fan
Speed /2.5
e.g. Target Fan Speed 40 ~ PWM Value 16%
ASUS P5G41T-M LX (BIOS Setup Utility)
Power > CPU Q-Fan Control [Enable]
CPU Fan Profile [Silent / Optimal /Performance mode]
Notes:
- The case fan spins slowly at idle for all three mode.
It is also possible to adjust the fan speed in
manual mode to customize according to your
own preference.
It is suggested to set the PWM Value at
minimum 15%. Percentage lower than that
may not generate enough motion to spin
the fan.
