Unlikely. I have several Asus boards... in all cases, "Q-fan" is merely their rebranding of whatever automatic fan control is supported by the sensor chip. I.e. the BIOS may allow you to set up some automatic fan control of the sensor chip, but after initialization the BIOS has nothing more to do with it. Of course it's *possible* that your board is different than all of mine and that there is active BIOS control. But again, *unlikely*. Regards, -- Mark M. Hoffman mhoffman at lightlink.com
