[Motherboard] Introduction to Fan Xpert 4 in Armoury Crate

Fan Xpert 4 is a tool embedded in Armoury Crate software that controls fans connected to the motherboard. It can detect various fans on the motherboard and provide various adjustment options, such as adjusting fan speed, setting fan curves, and setting temperature measurement points, to meet user needs.
 

**The Fan Xpert option is not available in the device list of the Armoury Crate software.

Please ensure that your motherboard is an Intel 600 series, AMD AM5 series, or newer motherboard to support Fan Xpert 4 in the Armoury Crate software.

If you are using an older Intel 500 series or AMD 500 series motherboard or an earlier series motherboard, you can still use Fan Xpert 4 in Ai Suite 3.s, please refer to the Fan Xpert 4 introduction in the [Motherboard] Fan Xpert 4 in Ai Suite 3- Introduction

Note: Do not set the fan speed too high or too low, as this may affect performance or cause overheating

 

 

 

8. In Smart Mode, you can adjust the Fan Acceleration Time and Fan Deceleration Time to prevent drastic changes in fan speed within a short period.

At this time, you can choose to enable the Extreme Quiet Mode to minimize noise levels, which will reduce fan speed. After enabling Extreme Quiet Mode, you can also choose to enable the Fan Stop feature. When the fan speed is too low, the fan will automatically stop.

Note: To enable Extreme Quiet Mode, you must first perform Fan Tuning.

Enabling the AI Cooling function will reduce the speed of all fans to lower system noise without affecting current performance when the system enters a stable load state

Note: After enabling the "AI Cooling" function, the "Extreme Quiet" function in Smart Mode will be overridden.
