In Bios in Qfan control

 

Set CPU fan to PWM then select a preset or custom one

CPU: Intel i7 6700K 4.5 ghz / CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 / Board: Asus Z170-A / GPU: Asus Rog Strix GTX 1070 8GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3000 mhz / SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500 GB / PSU: Corsair RMx 850w / Case: Fractal Design Define S / Keyboard: Corsair MX Silent / Mouse: Logitech G403 / Monitor: Dell 27" TN 1ms 1440p/144hz Gsync

I berlieve the z170 pro gaming is the MSI board so might be called a bit different than Qfan control

Press the Delete key during startup to enter the bios. The QFan Control button should be at the bottom.
