Can TF2 temp data be used by bios to control fan speeds?

Apologies, it is the Thermaltake TF2 inline water temp and flow sensor.. Yes, ASUS Mobo

Hard for me to know, but I think if the values appear in HWInfo64 for example, then there is probably a chance to use a inOS fan control software to use it as an input, if its completely locked into the Thermaltake software environment, chances are probably slim. Of course this means that if you need support for non-Windows environments, its unlikely to work.

 

So if you want true BIOS support, I would recommend getting an additional 2-pin sensor that can go into the T_sensor header.

Is TF2 data transferred to the mobo via the USB 2.0 power connector, and if so, is it useful for bios fan configuration-- or must this come directly from a t_sensor connection on the board?

I'm not sure what TF2 data is, but BIOS control requires BIOS readable values, and so T_Sensor is the way to go (sounds like you have an Asus motherboard)

Recent builds:  Meshify C (Zero Tolerance!) & View 37 (Breathable Quad 2080Ti + 2990WX)

Best documented PC coolants

Older Builds

Full-custom loop builds: Meshify C (Full custom loop SLI), Ncase M1(8700K + 1080Ti Full custom loop)  Obsidian 900D (1950X + Quad 1080Ti) & Fractal Define C (1080 in SLI)

Air-cooled builds Air 740D (1920X + Quad 980Ti) & Fractal Define C (Version Air!)

Did you get the temp from the TF2 recognised on your Asus board? I'd consider doing the same if its possible.
