What is the purpose of the settings: Ignore - 600 RPM in ROG BIOS fan control? I am not sue I understand this setting. Is this just for some type of warning monitoring? Thanks.

Some fans, specially the bigger ones can spin with lower rpms than 600 and still produce a good airflow - so your system would give you an alarm when the rpm falls below 600... if you ignore the 600 rpm thing, then you won't get any alarms - but not even when your fan(s) fails...

I would not set it to ignore. Try 200 rpm, some sealed cpu water coolers will five a false alarm if set at 600 rpm.

Ignore is the quick and easy fix, setting the RPM level down to a lower level is the more secure method of dealing with low speed fans.
