If you don't configure their settings in the BIOS, then your fans will run at full speed. The default setting for the Chassis Fan headers 1 and 3 is Full On, or Level 4 for Chassis Fan 2. The three pin Power Fan header only does not have any speed control, as is traditional for that header on mother boards. The three pin chassis fans 1, 2, and 3 have fan speed control in the BIOS.
Not so, according to your board's manual, and what I have experienced with my ASRock boards. What case fans and CPU cooler do you have? Are they all connected to the mother board?Īlso, note that only 4-pin (PWM) fans can be controlled.ģ-pin fans will run at 100% when connected to the motherboard. You really should go into the BIOS and fix your fan speed settings, I'm sure you can at least reduce the fan noise you have now. It sounds like the fan speed settings in the BIOS are set to Full On, or the fans you use run at high speed with the Standard setting. Why can't you use the fan speed control settings in the UEFI/BIOS? The H/W Monitor screen in the BIOS has most if not all of the options available in your board's AXTU program. I have a z68 extreme 3 gen 3 as well and right now I can live without all the other utilities on windows 10 but having no fan control software is killing my ears. Fan speed control also depends on a chip used in the board, so is not just software based. I wish my older ASRock boards were able to use the new custom fan curves, but they can't. Another program like A-Tuning will not have the file that defines the options for your board, so simply will not work, or install.
If your board uses AXTU, you can only use AXTU. Each board has a file that defines the fan speed control options and settings that are specific to that board. I doubt any damage would occur.Įach of the ASRock utilities like AXTU and A-Tuning is designed to work with a limited group of similar boards. If the program did install, the fan speed control would not work at all, as well as all the other features it has. If you tried to install one of them, I believe the installation program would detect it is not meant to be used with your board, and the installation would stop. Unfortunately, the other ASRock utility programs you mentioned won't work with your board.
Or, would using such newer software that is not intended for the
like A-Tuning or Formula Drive that have much betterįan control options with custom fan curves etc.? I was wondering if it is safe to use fan control software from the With the AXTU software, that can automatically control fan speed. I have an older AsRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 motherboard that comes
