• Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI
  1. Improve fan curve UI
  We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control.
  2. Slope/Stair dual graph mode
  Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval.
  3. Manual Input
  For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control.
  4. EZ Tuning
  Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve.
  5. Fan curve profile
  Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS.
