http://www.tweaktown.com So, you might have just saw our video
hands-on demonstration of the brilliant ASUS Wi-Fi GO! which is
part of most new ASUS Z77 based motherboard that only just came
onto the market with the Ivy bridge launch last month. Next up and
right here we give you similar treatment, but this time we're
looking at ASUS Fan Xpert 2 - a big improvement over previous
versions of Fan Xpert. One of the biggest single features of Fan
Xpert 2 is the ability to auto tune the cooling fans inside your
case. This software has the ability to check and report back to the
Fan Xpert 2 software rather impressive information regarding those
fans installed inside your chassis. After you click the "Fan Auto
Tuning" button it will run a fan tests that lasts between two and
five minutes. While running, this tests measures the maximum and
lowest RPM of all of the fans inside your case that are connected
to one of the fan headers (3-pin or 4-pin) on your ASUS Z77
motherboard. Once complete, Fan Xpert 2 now has an intimate
knowledge of all of your cooling fans and it knows how to
dynamically control them based on the CPU temperature as well as
let you manually control them to a rather extreme level. Once the
auto tune test is complete, you reach the next screen that allows
you to create a name for each fan as well as select their position
in your case. For most companies that would have been where things
ended, but ASUS perfect the software one step further by
implementing a "search" function that allows you to more easily
identify the location of the fan. Once you start the search
function, the fan in question spins up to 100% RPM, hence making it
easier to find. Once you've done that you can enter the Smart Mode
area which allows you to change the curve of the fan performance
and what RPM level it spins at depending on the system temperature.
Not only that, ASUS is claiming they have a world first here that
allows you to adjust each individual fan by its RPM in 50 ro
