Enable/Disable at Startup & Fan Control?

My new PC build is now 8 days old and I've been playing with AI Suite 3's Fan Xpert. I'm thinking to try a BIOS profile to overclock to 4.5Ghz instead of using the TPU overclock wizard in the software. But I'm wondering about the fan profile I created in AI Suite. If I disable AI Suite at startup, is the software fan profile actually saved in BIOS or dependent on having AI Suite running? Also, if I disable it at startup but run it just to monitor status will AI Suite override any fan profile created in BIOS?

Steve , just go ahead and disable it from startup, anything you calibrate in bios just stays that way.
Don't mess with AI Suite after that cause it might chamge the settings. What i mean if you disable it leave it that way. Keep in mind if you diasble the
services of AI suite from starting , and you start AI Suite to run , multiple errors will show up. For monitoring your fans , you can choose multiple solutions
that you can find in this forums like CPUID HWMonitor for instance. Καλή τύχη!

Thanks that's what I did, disabled it on startup and now just using the direct BIOS settings to control things. I have HWMonitor installed to check the temps.

Update - I decided on using AI Suite 3's Fan Xpert again. Figured I would calibrate the fans in BIOS and use Fan Xpert in Windows 10 for fine tuning while under that environment.

Are you saying one overrides the other? Maybe I should reset the BIOS to default to clear the Qfan settings, re-overclock and stop messing with it. As long as the AI Suite takes over every time I boot into Windows I'm fine with that. Plus sometimes Qfan locks up when playing with the fan curves in BIOS.

In the UEFI BIOS the Qfan calibration wants to set my Thermalright Silver Arrow ITX heatsink cooler fan at 99%-100%. In Windows the Fan Xpert calibrates it differently with a more normal range of operation. The 4-pin PWM fan is plugged into the correct CPU Fan header. So I just have my fans set to the Turbo profile in BIOS. I'm trying to use custom curve fan profiles in Windows. Still Experimenting with that vs Turbo which doesn't seem that loud with my Phanteks 140mm case fans and the 140mm Thermalright "ROG" style fan they use.

(New version of AI Suite 3 is out and new CPU-Z Pro Gaming version now shows the correct Vcore value BTW.)
