Could you tell me how you are setting up the UEFI settings?

Directly in the UEFI: Start System -> Press DEL -> Q-Fan (top bar)

Right just wanted to make sure that you were in the BIOS and not using the FaxexpertII application that can manage the fans too.

OK please try this.

List your hardware and include the bios version as well as what fans you are trying to control.

My Hardware:

i7 4790k Stock
2x4GB GSkill Ares 1600Mhz
MSI R9 290
Bequite Pure Power 530W
2x250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD

Everything in a Phanteks Enthoo Primo Case with 6 Fans, connected to Chassis1_FAN with the Phanteks PWM Hub, maybe to much?

Yeah I would think it may be prudent to split them up and spread the load.

What is of concern to me is the PSU size in relation to the system you have. I wonder what the 290 pulls when running games or load?


As a rule of thumb I like to have my PSU never run at more that 65% or rated wattage.

My System needs ~390W, the PSU has 480W @ 12V, should be OK!
Today, i connected a power-cable directly from psu to the fans, and have to see if that works!

One fan header can supply 1 amp max. It's a good idea not to exceed 1 amp 🙂

Thanks!
The fans are very close to 1 amp/12w. I found specs that they need 11,96-12,6 W , all together. So i think, its better to support them with the PSU?

Hope the view days with 12,6W did not damage my board?!
