Optimized Cooling
Fan Xpert 2+
Advanced fan controls
With onboard thermal sensors and hardware-level 4-pin/3-pin PWM/DC mode
detection, Fan Xpert 2+ makes sure every fan achieves the best balance of
cooling performance and low noise!
- Auto-Tuning Mode: Scans and detects all fan characteristics for
single-click customization.
- Extreme Quite Mode: Reduces CPU fan speed to below the default minimum,
for extra-quiet operation and power savings during light loads.
- RPM Fixed Mode: Lowers noise levels to near-0dB silence, allowing to you
fix the fan speed.
