Select User from the Setting menu and you'll get the ability to customize the fan speed-to-temperature scaling curve: Even if you don't do calibration, you can still take advantage of the custom fan settings. NOTE: With Fan Xpert and Fan Xpert+, calibration currently only works with 4-pin PWM fans currently, however with the upcoming Fan Xpert II this will enable the use of 3-pin fans as well. This will calibrate your fan according to its specific parameters.

On the right-hand side is the Fan Xpert and Settings tab. First select the Fan Xpert tab and click Test. You can select a specific fan from the Fan Name drop-down menu, and one of the pre-settings from the Setting menu to its right. If you really don't need some of the modules, deselect them to save a bit of disk space.Īfter rebooting, open AI Suite II and you'll be presented with this slim bar:Ĭlick Tools and Select Fan Xpert. It includes an upgraded DIGI+ VRM control module specifically for the Extreme Engine II, so you should source the AI Suite II file from your motherboards product page. NOTE: AI Suite II for ROG motherboards is DIFFERENT to standard P8/P9 series motherboards. NOTE: You can mix and match AI Suite II versions - the software will auto-detect the components and only update the latest version if you choose it. Download and install the version of AI Suite II with the latest Fan Xpert. We'll be using the Maximus IV GENE-Z in the guide, but it also applies to the Maximus IV Extreme, Extreme-Z, GENE-Z/Gen3 and entire Rampage IV series as well. It basically means you can throw out your 5.25in fan controller, as the software allows you to not only calibrate, but customize the performance:noise ratio of your entire case fan setup. The module we'll be guiding you through in this guide is Fan Xpert+ a complete, system-wide tool for customizing your fan control. Within the suite there are several modules that do different functions.

If you've not at least tried the latest edition of AI Suite II yet, please do, and see if it changes your mind. Word of mouth about installing bundled software might have used to say it's a thing to avoid, and we'll admit, it doesn't have the best history of value-add, however, ASUS is seriously attempting to buck the trend.
