Hi all! I've recently moved to b550 f gaming and I see the option Q Fan. And I was wondering should I just leave this option as it is as default settings or should I go into q Fan tab and click optimise all and then save the settings ?
Does clicking on 'optomise all' make any difference in performance ?
Which option is better ?

Asus Q-Fan Control Question!
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?
Asus Q-Fan Controll optimizer is amazing!!!
Is PWM or DC better for fan control?
PWM is better for fan control because it provides precise speed regulation from 0-100% using 4-pin connectors. DC mode varies voltage and often has higher minimum speeds, making it less suitable for quiet operation. Use PWM whenever your hardware supports it.
Can I control case fans with CPU temperature?
Yes, you can and should control case fans with CPU temperature for air-cooled systems. This ensures increased airflow throughout the case when the CPU generates more heat. For liquid-cooled systems, consider linking some case fans to GPU temperature to better handle GPU-intensive workloads.
What is a good fan curve for gaming?
A good gaming fan curve keeps fans at 30-35% up to 45 degree C, increases to 50-60% at 60 degree C, and reaches 80-90% at 75-80 degree C. This balances quiet operation during lighter gaming moments with aggressive cooling during intense sessions.

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!
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?
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!
Hi All,
I have a ROG Strix B550-I with the latest BIOS, on which I have connected an NZXT M22 AiO. The AiO has a 3pin header and is connect to the mobo's AIO_PUMP.
My goal is to control the pump speed from inside the BIOS and without the need of any software, but apparently I'm missing something...
When I set to the Pump to PWM mode, it will continuously run to 100% no matter the curve I set on Q-Fan, and when I set it to DC Mode I can reduce to 60%, which is still quite noisy for my standards. From what I've read, both of the above are expected. The behavior is the same even if I connect the AiO to the mobo's CPU_FAN or CHA_FAN headers.
What surprises me though is that if I install ASUS AI Suite 3, I can adjust the pump's speed to whatever curve I want with minimal performance losses, but impressive noise reduction.
I know that adjusting the pump's speed can impact its estimated life, but I'm willing to take that risk. Am I missing indeed any BIOS settings, or is setting a curve for your 3pin AiO possible only via software?
