ASUS is good, but I think I prefer MSI fan system a bit more. ASUS was just weird and inconsistent, tend to even override BIOS without actually changing data in it), MSI one just works and it's basically a copy of BIOS fan control with option to save/load fan profiles from file to/on disk and fan speed calibration. In ASUS I had to constantly open up the case and inspect where fans are using the manual because I had to route them all over the place.Īlso, MSI's Control Center software is kinda better than ASUS's Windows software whose name I forgot. A bit more than ASUS actually because fan headers placement on motherboard was better and fans are more easily identifiable inside interface (I basically just look at RPM and name on top where ASUS just has generic fan names with numbers (system fan 1 through 4). Needed a bit re-adjustment from the ASUS system, but I'm liking MSI method a lot.


In a way, MSI has easier to use fan control though it lacks some things ASUS has, like pre-selectable Quiet, Standard and Turbo profiles where on MSI, you have to fully set each fan on your own (though default curve ius reasonably well balanced, maybe more on the quiet side actually). I've been on ASUS Sabertooth X99 before and now I'm on MSI X99A Gaming 7. It does not directly correspond to the fan speed % on the left side though (as that would mean 7000 RPM at 100%). If you're long enough in the menu, it'll move from right to left across entire graph. It's not evident since they've been in this menu for 5 seconds apparently, but if you look at the lower right corner of the graph, you'll see something going up to around 2800 RPM. The scale on the right corresponds to real-time (current actual) RPM of the fan.
