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

r/buildapc on Reddit: Should you use Q-Fan Control optimize on a new build in the bios or should you use another FAN App or just ignore at stock?
April 25, 2025 -

Hey Everyone,

Finished a new build, curious but are we supposed to use ASUS Q-Fan control and hit "Optimize" in the BIOS or is it better to ignore as the board has AI that will handle it? Or should I leave it alone and use a trusted fan control app if needed?

The board is the ASUS B850-F and a Ryzen 9950x3d w/ a Noctua DH-15 G2 cooler in a ASUS ProArt PA602 case.

Some threads said you should so the system can understand the max speed the fans can hit - is this true?

Sorry its been 9 years since I built a new pc - unsure atm :/
Also - is it better to do fan optimization in the morning after the pc has been off for the night to get a better read or does it not matter?

February 26, 2021 - I tried out the "optimize all" QFAN functionality last night on my Z270e mobo with Cryorig H7 CPU fan (I also have stock fans on my NZXT S340 Elite case). I ran optimize all in the BIOS, but it ended up setting the Cryorig to run at 100% all the time in PWM mode.

September 21, 2021 -

I just found a awesome feature that my ASUS motherboard has!, I find that when watching youtube videos my cpu and extra fans seem to fluctuate rpms making them produce this annoying jet engine start up and its really noticeable on youtube videos that only has the person speaking, I originally planned on setting the fans to a lower rpm as to not annoy me when watching videos, so I rebooted into the uefi and go to fan control, I notice there is a optimize button and thought "hmm why not give it a go cant hurt the system" I tried it and let it do its tests and I was mind blown the fans are so quiet its CRAZY! the temps on my cpu are only 2 - 3 C higher but thats a sacrifice Im willing to take for SILENCE!, so Guys and Girls check if your motherboard has this option and it could fix the annoying jet engine sounds!

r/buildapc on Reddit: Asus Q-Fan Control Question!
January 7, 2019 -

Hi all,

I'm using 6 120mm xspc rgb fans connected through a 12v xspc 4-pin pwm hub. The hub then connects to chassis 2 fan header on an asus z390-e motherboard. The fans are rated for 800-2200 rpm. When I set the fan curve to the very minimum speed (20% i think), for some reason the fans start at 1240 rpm... I was confused at how it started at this speed but after some guessing I figured its 800rpm+(20% of 2200) which comes to 1240 rpm. Is there a way to set the minimum speed at 800?

Thank you so much and please let me know if I need to clarify on anything!

[SOLVED] - What is the best q fan control setup for case fans | Tom's Hardware Forum
August 15, 2020 - The fluctuations are normal, because some apps are running in background ( virus checker, rgb-controlling software like razor synapse, corsair iCue etc. - depends on your components - you can check it in task manager). My CPU- and chassis-fan-settings are manual .... straight line up to 60 degrees and 100% fan. But that's my own preference, some other members might have different opinion about that. For my asus crosshair viii hero and 3950x my settings seem optimal ( at least for me 🙂).
