I just built a new system with the Maximus X Code board and I'm always paranoid about temperature on new builds. I re-used my same case and fans and just upgraded the motherboard, CPU, memory and CPU cooler.
I noticed that once in Windows, I would very frequently hear the fans ramp up and down as I did even simple tasks like opening a web browser. I checked my temps and they looked fine. (Under 35c).
With my old Asus motherboard, my system never ramped at all and if it did, it must have been very subtle so this was weird to me. I checked the BIOS and saw it had a Q Fan section which my old board did not. I set it to Standard and the fans still revved up and down. When you are used to a consistent fan hum, hearing it go up and down was concerning and irritating.
I decided to run the fan tuning wizard in the Bios to see if that would help. I have 2 200mm fan intakes, 2 200mm fans on top, a 140mm exhaust and a CPU cooler with 2 140mm fans. Plenty of cooling, lots of air flow. After the test was done, it set my CPU fans to 100% speed which was really loud. I decided to set a custom fan curve and a delay on the ramping up and down. It helped but it would still noticeably ramp up at times.
I ended up downloading the AI Suite 3 and running that version of the fan tuning. Now, my computer is almost virtually silent and it's a bit scary. All of the fans are spinning but at around 550pms and I can barely hear if the computer is even on. The temperature reported by AI Suite for the CPU is showing as low as 23c and hits around 32-35 with heavy activity. No more revving at all even when playing games.
I'm curious as to why the BIOS tuning is completely different from AI Suite? My system seems fine but with it being so quiet and why it's different from the BIOS tuning perplexes me. I also wonder how accurate the temperature reading is from AI Suite. I'd love for it to truly be 23-32c but I have a hard time believing the number despite all of my fans since they are running so quietly. HWMonitor shows higher core and package temperatures but still not bad. I'm not sure which one to believe.
Anyone have any thoughts and if this is normal?
Asus Ai Suite Fan Auto Tuning
- May 18, 2014 There's both software based and BIOS based auto tuning with the Hero, I'd go the hardware version via the BIOS, it examines and test things at 4.2, 4.4, or 4.6 and decides what your components can need to run at, it works fairly well, then when you are stable can go in and often lower voltages, or if you want to try higher you will have an idea of what was changed (if you took screen.
- Mar 12, 2019 First of all you have to do the Q-Fan Tuning in UEFI. It calibrates the fan speeds according the PWM or DC percentage. Afterwards you draw the fanspeed curve also below the usual 60%. If it is not low enough, just tune the fans again and while the fans getting slower you have to accelerate the fans by your fingers carefully.
