Need Confirmation: ASUS Formula VII Zero-Fan curve

[airdeano]

Z87 AI fan xpert has no zero-rpm fan and my speed fan is really glitchy

(sometimes works sometimes doesn't - AI3 is uninstalled).

 

so looking to use the Z97 Fan XPert 3 with zero-rpm fan curve.

how well does it work with PWM fans?

all the time?

sometimes?

occassionally?

couldn't get it to work?

 

has anyone used this new AI3 for the Z97 platform, yet?

I can set a Zero RPM fan curve on my Z87 Sabertooth Board with all my including my CPU fans.

I have the motherboard you mentioned in the title, and (for me) zero RPM fan mode only works with DC output the fans. It doesn't work with PWM.

You click "Auto-fan stop"? That lets the fan turn off in fan xpert 2. Am assuming you using FXP2 since you mention Z87.

This instruction set may be helpful to you:

"C:\ProgramData\ASUS\FanXpert\FanCalibrationData.xml

Locate the CPU Fan data and modify to sane values. My calibration data had max fan setting (2200 rpm) for 0%, I adjusted this to a more sane value (670 rpm). Also the values below needed adjustment, I used the settings below (your mileage may vary):

<maxdutytokeepstill>20</maxdutytokeepstill>
<mindutytokeepruning>20</mindutytokeepruning>
<rpmofmaxdutytokeepstill>0</rpmofmaxdutytokeepstill>
<rpmofmindutytokeepruning>670</rpmofmindutytokeepruning>

Then you need to restart the ASUS fan service and also restart AI suite (or simply reboot the machine). The preset curves from ASUS (Silent, Standard and Turbo) was also not properly configured after auto-tuning, so you just need to configure a proper curve for yourself in the GUI (no need to modify the XML files for the fan curves)"

 

I got this from some site a while back.

 

Some notes about this.
Use notepad to edit the files and save

"fan key" refers to the location that correlates to the one in fan xpert eg 0=cpu fan, fan  key 1=chassis fan 1 etc

To manually set the possibility to have the fan be at 0% edit:
        <maxdutytokeepstill>TY</maxdutytokeepstill>
        <mindutytokeepruning>ZX</mindutytokeepruning>
