Q-fan Enabled; Cpu Hot? - Internal Hardware
Thanks in advance. ... That sounds about right for that fan speed reduction. The fan speed is lower so the CPU can't help but be hotter. The fan speed will increase if the CPU temp continues to rise, due to increased system load or ambient temperature. My system idles the fan in winter, but in summer the fan speed when Q-fan is enabled is not much lower than when not enabled. My system has two stages for Q-fan, moderate ...

December 4, 2014 - What does work is leaving Q-Fan enabled, then setting it to "Manual mode. That lets you control it with speedfan-- provided speedfan has those PWM modes set to "Software Control" -------- I found a solution-- You can't get around the CPU fan header requiring PWM, but who says you have to plug a noisy fan that actually cools the CPU into the CPU fan header?
