Hello- I've recently build a pc with an x99 Fatal!ty gaming pro 7. When I am in UEFI, I have the ability to set the fans to silent>standard>performance>full speed. However, I cannot find how to do that in windows itself. I've poked around with F-Steam Tuning, but I am not seeing that ability. Is my only option to reboot, go to UEFI, restart, and follow the same process if I need to change the speed of my fans? Thanks!

In F-Stream there should be a "Fan-tastic Tuning" tab, in there you will be able to adjust fan curves for all your connected fans.

Yep, that's there, but there is not options for silent>standard>performance>full speed. Just the options to completely reconfigure them. I'd just like the option of turning my fans up when I need them on.

The fan speed curves shown in FAN-Tastic Tuning are the Custom fan speed curves for each fan header.

You are referring to the "All Fans Setting" in the FAN-Tatic Tuning in the UEFI/BIOS, where you can control all of the fan headers together, assigning them the same speed curve, including Full On.

I've never seen the All Fans Setting in the FAN-Tastic Tuning program in the Windows F-Stream or equivalent ASRock program, sorry to say.

There is no simple way to duplicate the All Fans Setting option found in the UEFI/BIOS, with F-Stream.

One thing that I really miss from my z77 after moving to z270 is the feature in the "tuning utility" where you could actually set a static level for each fan. Sure the feature in F-streaming is nice, but again most people, including me, just would like to be able to go from level 1 to level 10 by 2 click, instead of configuring a whole pattern. :)

Absolutely agree. That's what I am looking for. I had another competitor's board and it was that simple. Click, done. Doesn't seem that hard to implement.

Right, but does at least one header support 3-pin DC voltage?  Or is the only supported type PWM on all headers?  On the graphical profile set up under FAN-tastic, there is no button to select between PWM and 3-pin DCV, implying that only one type supported.  
I don't need a run down on all headers, only one.   I have only one device that I will connect and it is strictly DC voltage 3-pin.  
My mobo of choice will be the Z270 extreme4.

As far as what I can tell, when you ran the fan test, it determines if it is DC or PWM. I'm not positive on that; there isn't much documentation around it.

I don't think auto detection is supported. Until Asrock says other wise, I assume one can't make a profile for  3-pin DC voltage under FAN-tastic.
