M8H Q-Fan Control not working properly with 3504 BIOS

Hello guys.

Today i successfully flashed the 3504 BIOS and everything works well except for the Q-Fan Control.
It does not allow me to customize my own fan curve. For example: these are the settings i used to have on 2202 BIOS (DC mode)




But on 3504 i cant get any lower than 60% by "CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle (%)"




and if i set it manually to lower than 60% it says



P.S. Sorry, but i dont know how to spoiler in these forums.
P.P.S. I dont want to use PWM mode.
P.P.P.S. I have 4-pin fans

I thought "Manual" means i can go where i want to (?)

Are the 3504 BIOS officially out yet? It was my understanding they were still in the verification process.

Your 4 pin fan is a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) device which allows fine grained speed control.
DC control is limited as it requires a substantial amount of voltage to just get the fan turning.
The bios is fine, you're just trying to make it work outside the design parameters.

Hey. Do not change the value in the CPU Fan Min. Duty Cycle. Mistakes should not be.
Leave what happened after the calibration

I have been experimenting with this bios for several days. This is the correct answer. Q-Fan stuff works perfectly as designed.

Then what's this?




Try to set the latter to twenty on the new BIOS. What message do you get?

P.S. That's the 2202 on screenshots.

Hey, did you run the optimization before trying to adjust your fans ? You need to run that for your motherboard to figure out what values are valid.

Could you clarify when you say optimization? Is there a specific button or feature?

In Q-fan control, there is an optimize all button. Don't have screenshot of it, but you can see it on op's post. Click it and it runs a test of all your fans, figuring out the lowest speed they work at.
