Hi, B450 PRO4 doesn't have fan step up and down option in fan control section. I have latest bios 3.90. It is a good feature for keeping case fans RPM's constant when cpu temp spikes. Board has Nuvoton NCT6779 chip so i think it can be added to bios ? Does other B450 Asrock boards have this option in bios ? Thanks. |

Hi, hmm I never heard of this feature but it sounds good. My case fans always ramp up and then down, just browsing and doing basic tasks. Sure, I can set up the case fans to monitor motherboard temperature, but the motherboard temperature like never changes, so it's always constant and doesn't ramp up when CPU gets hotter. |

Thanks for reply, My goal is to make fans faster when cpu gets hot so better air flow inside the case ,when gaming for example. Also i want to make them quiet when browsing or etc.. But ryzen temp can suddenly make a peak for about 0.5 -1 second. If we had this step-up-down option in bios it could be very useful. Hope forum admins from ASRock can reply. |

Was just curious because I have got a Raven Bridge CPU and was wondering about updating the BIOS to 3.90 after ASRock advise not to do so. You're fine with a Matisse. Not sure about your issue though. Mine seems to work as it should with stock settings, although the ramp down does take a while, but not so long as to be a concern or annoying. I have Ryzen 5 2400G, so maybe the APU is the difference? |

I have Ryzen 5 2600, mine idles at 45°C, when doing basic things it's 49°C-51°C, but when opening a program for example, the CPU temp spikes shortly to 60°C, so I hear case fans spike too. Hmm... maybe I could set up the case fans to run faster when cpu hits 65°C or 70°C. |

That seems quite high. I'm currently at 28.5°C whilst transferring large amounts of data to a backup drive - APU at 27.5 Idling - looking at 25°C |

Wow 25 in idle? Where you live? A tent in Alaska? :-) I own a 3600 and it idles around 40. The moment I only start a program, it's movin' up to between 50 and 60 depending on the prog. It's aircooled with a BeQuiet DarkRock which is running on idle around 370 upm, case fan at 800 upm. |

Alaska! Close...Manchester, UK Just have stock cooler, two case fans. Case is a full ATX though which may allow for more airflow. I don't know. |

| There are enough temperature settings for fan speed that you can adjust ranges for fan speeds to make something fairly quiet on idle/light loads to noiser stressed loads. I have a 3900x on the same motherboard and created different fan profiles depending what I am doing through the day. I usually use a silent fan profile that is quiet until it reaches 75 C. |

| Sir id like to ask about your vrm temps what are your readings on hwinfo |

| If you are fine up to 75C it's okay. But i want my fans to speed up at lower temps. When you set like this, small bumps in cpu makes fan ramps and down continously. When browsing or etc. If we had step up-down option in bios this wont happen. Other vendors have this option in their bioses. Maybe Asrock adds this feature in new bios releases. |

| I hope ASRock reads this. I also have the B450m Pro4 AM4 with a Ryzen 5 3600. I've had it air cooled and currently have it liquid cooled. My idle temps are around 50-55C. My gaming temps are 68C-70C. Even at desktop, I get these temperature spikes for something as simple as opening a browser that I have read are completely normal. They last less than a second and make my fans ramp up because my temps will go to ~72C. It's annoying because without the step up/down feature I can't make a gaming versus desktop fan profile. ASRock can you please upgrade next BIOS with this option? |

As result i didnt bother with bios can control, temp spikes made it unoptimal. So i made my custom fan curves with speedfan 4.52. All my case fans and cpu fan controlled with speedfan. I made them control with my gpu temprature so when gaming fans speed up with gpu temp. When desktop, fans low rpm so no noise at all. But your temps seems a bit high. I have 12cm tower air cooler, idle temps 36-38, browsing temps 42-46, gaming temps max 64-65 C, average gaming temps 52-54 C. My settings : PBO off, turbo boost on (4.2ghz), SMT off (hyper threading), vcore auto (1.30-1.38 gaming, desktop 0.94V 2700mhz) |

| I like the bios control over fans so I never have to worry about software, but I'm considering going back to it. I actually have a several year license to Argus monitor. I'm going to look back into it and see if there's a step up delay feature. |

| Yes argus has delay function over cpu temp. It averages temp by second you choose. |

| Nice. Well, I guess that'll be the perfect workaround until ASRock (hopefully) adds step up/down delays in motherboard options. At least I know which feature to look for in my next motherboard in 5 years. |
