Is there a fan only setting? Also can you change between fan only &amp; cool mode via the Web?

It depends on the setting your have your fans set at. There is a quiet mode and a Cool mode. If in cool mode, I think the fans stay on, if you set to Quiet mode then the fans spin slower while on and they turn off when in Hibernation. Hope this helps.~Justin

nvm, i kinda see what you mean now, i switched from extra performace mode to battery saving mode the fan started running really loud.

My experience: I have a fan-less PSU and the stock setup is adequate. However, I do not use their included fan splitter, because my motherboard supported multi-zone tuning (no evidence that this is better/worse... YMMV). Fans are off/low most of the time under normal load. Hope this helps...

No, it doesn't have that option. You can use fan mode but it doesn't bring in outside air.

Hi Roger, Yes! you are in luck! I ran into the same situation setting up my fan system. I bought my fan kits at Amazon, and purchased extentions directly from coolerguys.com. By the way, I've had my fans for almost a year now, and they are just as quiet as the day I set them up. Do yourself a favor and buy the fans with the thermostat option if you have not done so already. It is the way to go. Good luck with your system, your making the right choice, its a high quality product.

Agree with other users. I'm using fan now in Az desert hike. No way I want it to turn off even in the cooler nights. Love the fan.

I'm not sure what the power consumption is. I don't think there is a fan. I can feel the vibration of the disk spinning but it is so quite I don't think there is a fan. Cool to the touch so no heat issues. Much quieter than external HD I've had. It just is there running in the background... not noticeable at all

Turn the fan speed off auto, manually make the adjustment in gpu tweak. Light gaming 30-50% heavy 60 to 100

To better answer this question, I should tell you first that you can control the speed of any fan connected to the mobo via BIOS or using ASUS AI suite. you can put any fan on any of the following 4 settings: Silent, Standard, Turbo, and Full Speed. There are two "little cooling fans" a.k.a assist fans the you can attach to the mobo, and if i put any of them on Standard or higher, the noise is definitely noticable. The sound is very annoying! it makes a very whiny fan sound. I would suggest keeping them on Silent setting. FYI, my desktop case has built in sound dampening material (Fractal Design define R4) and even with the the whiny sound is pretty noticeable

I don't think you can switch it off, but the fan really hasn't gotten loud for me. I heard it's worse with the I7. It also only gets a little warm when gaming, but I haven't played super intense games, just DW8, R3KXI, etc...

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

I have the PC behind my monitor. I honestly can't tell you if we have 2 or 3. Anyone out there in Amazon land have quick access to the cover to count the fans? Sorry. So far no problems and cpu runs cool. I do take all precautions to always keep items away from top and side airvents.

Generally you would want to activate those fans with a thermostatic switch.... but no, no switches at all, just fans.

In most cases, you only want the cpu fan installed directly to the motherboard, unless you are an enthusiast or just want it to run quietly.

I'm not real sure you can set it at a particular degree and leave it. I think It needs to be switched to cool or heat. There isn't an auto option on modes, only for the fan. You may want to check with them directly, as I've only had it for about week. Hope this helps....

I would definitely not advise you to use an external fan. I have used the cool spot and I still have some problems withmy computer and heating. It definitely improved my situation. Be sure to check out the cost of the fan and installation and other costs and then compare it to a new computer. Good luck.
