Smart Fan 5

Smart Fan 5 allows gamers to keep their gaming computers cool while maintaining performance.

A user of Smart Fan 5 is able to swap their fan headers in order to reflect various thermal sensors on the motherboard.

Additionally, with Smart Fan 5, more hybrid fan headers are available that support both PWM and voltage mode fans, making the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.

FAN STOP

Put an end to fan noise. You can set any fan to stop completely if the temperature drops below a certain threshold using Fan Stop. How many fans run, which sensors are used, and what temperature you want each one to run at-all of those can be programmed according to your preferences.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers

Take control of your liquid cooling setup!

By utilizing the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensors, Smart Fan 5 provides you with up-to-the-minute information on water flow and temperature, making your PC just as sophisticated and user-friendly as possible.

Any hybrid fan controller can detect whether a cooling device is a fan, pump, or both with a PWM or voltage mode.
