I just updated the BIOS (from F6 to F12) on my Gigabyte P35-DS3 rev 1.0 motherboard and the first thing I noticed was that the fan started to run at full speed. I have a Tuniq tower cpu fan that have a speed adjuster and with the previous BIOS I could set it to max and it was still not running very fast. It did speed up on CPU load though.
Gigabyte seems to have changed the fan control settings in the new BIOS. Before I had a setting that was called "Smart Fan Control Method" and could be set to auto, intel qst, legacy and disabled. In the latest BIOS the setting is called "CPU smart fan control" and can only be set to enabled or disabled. I couldn?t find an updated manual on Gigabyte?s site either.
Is there another way of accessing legacy and intel qst settings in the latest bios and what settings should I use? I want the fan to speed up when the temperature rises. I am also curious if it is safe to remove the speed knob from the Tuniq tower. Will it run at max speed or not at all?
