Wiring A shows a wiring where the mainboard vendor decided against adjusting the fan speed for this fan header.
Only the RPM fan speed can be monitored. Obviously, neither Argus Monitor nor any other software can control such fans. Wiring B shows the wiring for connecting a standard 3-pin fan which can be voltage controlled.
Argus Monitor can control such fans. Wiring C shows the wiring for connecting a standard 4-pin PWM controlled fan. One could also connect a 3-pin fan to the 4-pin header, in this case the fan would run at the 12 Volts rated speed only without the opportunity to control it. Wiring D is the most advanced fan connection layout on a mainboard.
The user has the possibility to connect either a 3-pin or a 4-pin fan. Both fan types can be controlled. The switching between the voltage control for the 3-pin fan and the PWM control for the 4-pin fan is done by the BIOS, either with such a configuration option or with an auto-detection method.
General information With Argus Monitor you have the possibility to control the speed of the housing and CPU fans installed in your PC depending on various temperature sources. It is also possible to manually set the fan speeds to fixed values. Prerequisites The prerequisite for using the fan control is that your hardware is supported by Argus Monitor. Manual control at constant speed If you want to operate the fan of the graphics card at a fixed speed, select Manual mode as controller, set the slider to the desired control value and press the Apply button.
Control GPU fan dependent on GPU temperature To control the graphics card fan based on the GPU temperature, you must define a characteristic curve that determines which fan speed should be set for which temperature. Controller characteristic curve for GPU fan controller In the configuration dialog for the characteristic curves, you can save and reload various characteristic curves.
Initial configuration Before using fan control for the first time, you should adjust the temperature sources and fan channels to your hardware and your needs once. Configuration dialog for configuring the temperature channels The picture shows the configuration dialog for selecting the temperature channels of one source SuperIO monitoring chip, AIO liquid cooler, power supply, Configuration dialog for configuring the fan channels Analogous to the configuration of the temperature channels, the fan configuration can be adapted in this dialog.
Advanced fan channel configuration options Dialog for setting advanced fan configuration options Every fan channel offers some advanced option you can configure.
You can also use this dialog to assign a new name to the fan if desired. Configuration of the minimum permissible output value and the starting behaviour for fan control In the configuration dialog for the advanced fan channel options see image below , the minimum permissible output value and the startup behaviour can be individually configured for each of the fans. Dialog for setting advanced fan configuration options Except for a few PWM-controlled fans, there is a 'forbidden' range for all fans in which they cannot be controlled safely.
Configuration of individual values for fan start from standstill Most fans allow to be brought to a complete standstill by appropriate control. Rate limit for fan control output value To prevent sudden spikes in fan control output you can configure the maximum change of fan speed per second.
Available methods for fan control Manual control at constant speed If you want to operate a channel temperature-independently at constant speed, select Manual mode as controller for the corresponding channel, set the desired control value with the slider and confirm with the button Apply.
Control as a function of one or more temperature sources To control a fan based on one or more temperature sources, first select Software controlled as the controller type for the fan channel. In addition, various combinations of temperature sources are available: avg.
Advanced Advanced option for advanced users that calculates up to four independent controls from any four sources see below for a description of how to use them Dialogue to specify the times for averaging temperatures The desired time for averaging the temperatures provided for fan control can be adjusted in the settings.
Characteristic curve based control Controller characteristic curve for fans connected to the mainboard All controllers are based on characteristic curves which determine the relationship between the temperature of the selected temperature source see last section and the control value for the associated fan duct. Extended fan control through combination of several controllers Dialog for the configuration of the multiple controllers For special requirements, it is also possible to determine the speed of a fan duct using a combination of up to four individual controllers.
Known problems BIOS fan control mode setting On some mainboard models we have information from users that even when Argus Monitor controls a certain fan, occasionally and after a certain amount of time a fan might start to spin at full speed for no apparent reason. This issue is highly dependent on the mainboard model and is a rare case.
Different types of fan connections The following diagrams show various ways to connect fans to PC mainboards, as well as explanations of what this means for their controllability. The following diagrams show different wiring variants for each fan channel of the SuperIO chip. For the software starts in the systray, click on Configure and then go to the Options tab and select the Start Minimized box. You might be interested reading on overclocking as well.
In Windows 7, there is a voice recognition function allows us to completely put aside the mouse and keyboard control the computer by voice only, finished editing the document, the use of software and a series of operations. As a security measure you can disable the right click context menu in Windows 7 explorer and desktop. Here is a tutorial on how to do it. After following this tutorial, you will be able to change the default yellow colored folders that appears in left side of explorer pane in Windows 7.
