[. . . ] Setting the power level to 100% means that the fan will run at full speed, while 0% will stop the fan. Only V9180 series or newer models support this feature. . Enable Smartcooling SmartCooling adjusts the fan speed according to the GPU temperature. When SmartCooling is enabled, you have to define the temperature boundaries for SmartCooling. 27 e3325_vga sw_0829. indb 27 2007. 8. 29 11:33:59 AM There are five fan speed levels and four temperature boundaries (see the figure below). When the GPU temperature goes beyond 40 degrees Celsius, ASUS SmartCooling will cool down the GPU with the full fan speed (Fastest level). When the temperature falls between 40 and 35 degrees Celsius, the fan speed will be set at fast level. Click the Default button to restore default temperature boundary settings. Auto Fan Control When you enable Auto Fan Control feature, the fan speed will adjust automatically according to GPU Clock. There are different fan speed levels (eg. The fan speed automatically rises when GPU clock speed rises (see the figure on the next page), and also adjust to the fastest level while playing 3D games. This feature is only available when the ASUS GamerOSD driver is installed. 28 e3325_vga sw_0829. indb 28 2007. 8. 29 11:33:59 AM 3. 8. 4 HyperDrive ASUS HyperDrive is a dynamic overclocking mechanism that allows overclocking manually.

Make sure to install the ASUS Enhanced driver when using the HyperDrive 3D mode. CPU usage mode - When set to this mode, ASUS SmartDoctor dynamically adjusts the GPU core clock depending on the Central Processing Unit (CPU) work load. ASUS SmartDoctor increases the GPU core clock when the CPU is busy and decreases it when your CPU is idle. GPU Temperature mode - In Temperature mode, ASUS SmartDoctor smartly adjusts the GPU clock according to its temperature. If the GPU temperature increases, ASUS SmartDoctor automatically decreases the GPU core clock, and vice versa. 30 e3325_vga sw_0829. indb 30 2007. 8. 29 11:34:01 AM GPU temperature mode With the ASUS SmartCooling feature, the four temperature boundaries in the Fan Control page also defines the SmartDoctor thresholds for the GPU clock. In this mode, the lower the temperature, the better performance you can have. When the HyperDrive is enabled, you can enable the Manual HyperDrive Clock Rate and move the slider to adjust the frequency. [. . . ] When enabling Skype function in the first time, a dialog box pops up as the following. Please select "Allow this program to use Skype", and then click OK.
