    ■ Intuitive UI for Fan Control
    FAN STOP
    Hybrid FAN Header
    Smart Fan 5 Software

    Achieve fan silence. With Fan Stop, map any fan to stop completely when temperatures drop below a specified threshold. Which fan stops, based on readings from which sensor, and at what temperature—all of it can be customized to your liking.

    Intelligent Fan Control Design
    Hybrid Fan Pin Headers

    Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensors—giving you absolute mastery over your PC.
    • All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.

    New Smart Fan 5 Software
    Choose from different modes, Quiet to Full Speed, to match your system usage preferences.
    For each fan or pump, you can use the intuitive fan curve to define trigger thresholds and corresponding fan speeds.
    LIGHTING
    RGB FUSION 2.0
    With B550 Motherboards, RGB Fusion 2.0 is even better with Addressable LEDs. RGB Fusion 2.0 offers users the option to control onboard RGB and external RGB / Addressable LED light strips* for their PC build.
