Click on the cog icon to adjust the speed of the respective fan.Īdjust the graph as per your needs and then move on to the next fan. You can see the RPM of CPU Fan, PUMP Fan, but nothing in SYS Fan. The same is shown on the next screen below: In my case, I have nine fans in total and have used CPU Fan1, PUMP Fan1, and SYS Fan 4 on my motherboard. Note the pins on the motherboard where you attached your fan pins to. Finally, click the cog icon under Customize as shown below:

Open up the Dragon Center app and click on User Scenario. Having said that, before using any software, you should make sure that the fan mode is set to PWM in the BIOS otherwise the speed that you adjust in the graph won’t have any affect.

So, if their software works for your motherboard then I would suggest using it if you don’t like the software from your own brand. Generally speaking, the software by MSI are the best I’ve have used so far. As I have a MSI motherboard, it made sense to me to use the software by MSI. If you prefer a simpler way to change the fan speed then doing so via a software would be the way to go. You should notice the fan speed change instantly or after saving the configurations. After doing the changes, you can save the new configuration and start using the pc. You have to choose PWM mode if you really want the speed to go down (like 10% of the max speed or so). You should bear in mind that you can’t reduce the voltage below a certain threshold and therefore, you can’t really slow down the speed to a minimum such that you hear no noise. If you choose DC mode then you can only adjust the supply voltage. Once you enter the BIOS, you can look for Fans, select PWM mode, and then finally adjust the speed-to-temperature graph ensuring that the Smart Fan Mode is turned on. Press F2 or Delete key when your PC is botting up (the keys maybe different depending on your motherboard).Press and hold Shift key and then click Restart.You can open the BIOS Dashboard in either of the two ways: In my case, the Antec Prism fans are PWM fans so I can precisely control what speed I want them to run at. The PWM fans allow for a seamless and high-precision control whereas the DC fans lack precision as their speed is controlled by varying the supplied voltage.

The PWM fans are 4-pin fans whereas DC fans are 3-pins. PWM fans are DC fans but with an extra wire for PWM.
