K8V SE Deluxe - How to disable CPU Fan Speed Control ?

[admiral_victory]

I am about to change the heatsink/fan assembly on my new K8V SE
Deluxe board due to excessive fan noise,

I don't know much about this subject but , if I understand this
correctly , the present processor fan is controlled by rpm on the
assumption that higher rpm means more cooling.

The replacement fan , an Arctic-cooling " silencer 64 TC " made in
Switzerland is controlled by sensing temperature and thus will be
running at varying rpm .

I also understand that it will , therefore , be necessary to disable
the fan rpm control in the BIOS of this board since , on bootup , say
, with the fan sensing coolish temperatures it will initially run at
such a speed that the board would shut down due to low fan rpm.

How do I disable the fan speed control on this board , please ?

Hardware monitor, "Q-fan Control" [Disable] ?

That will prevent the voltage to the fan from being changed by
the motherboard.

But the monitoring of fan speed will continue. If the fan speed
is too low, you will enter the BIOS during each boot cycle, with
the message "Hardware Monitor found an error..."
If that is the case, enter the "CPU Fan Speed" item, and change
it to [Disable] if you can. The manual doesn't mention it on
that board, so I cannot be sure whether that is possible or not.
You can disable fan speed detection on some boards.

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind.
