Do you meant the Qfan Tuning? I would recommend doing the tuning as it allows the BIOS to determine the range of speeds that your fans are capable of. Once tuned, whatever preset you choose will be more accurate with fan speeds. Answer from jo148 on reddit.com

May 2, 2013 - In your Bios, The Q-fan control allows you to adjust the settings of the 4 and 3 pin fan headers on your motherboard. Your Mobo user guide should tell you where they are and what they control. Usually you'll have a CPU fan header, and chassis fan headers. Chassis 1 Q fan control just refers to the 3 pin header for regular case fans, and you should be able to adjust their function, like going from Silent-standard - turbo speed settings.

r/buildapc on Reddit: ASUS Q-Fan Control is driving me crazy
December 20, 2020 -

Hi all. Hoping someone can help me out with a motherboard issue. I have an ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi ac) with a Corsair H100i cooler.

For 5 years there haven’t been any problems (since the initial setup), but suddenly last night my motherboard has decided to enable Q-Fan control in the BIOS. As my cooler is a closed-loop liquid cooler, there is no “CPU fan” so upon booting, I get a CPU fan error.

Once I go into the BIOS and disable Q-Fan control, everything works as normal. Trouble is, despite me “saving” this setting when exiting the BIOS screen, if I fully power down my PC (I usually switch off the mains power at night) the motherboard decides to switch Q-Fan control back to “auto” and I get the CPU fan error again the next time I boot up.

Is there a reason why the setting isn’t being saved? Am I doing something dumb? Does anyone know why this just started happening? Why do I have so many questions?

Thanks in advance!
