Fan speed monitoring

Is there a way to change the lower limit that PC Probe II alarms when the PSU fan speed drops to? For instance I have a Seasonic S12-600 PSU and according to Seasonic the fan speed is dynamically controlled according to the temperature. As a result the fan is only turning 750 RPM!! The lowest I have been able to set the power supply fan alarm threshold in PD Probe II at is 800 RPM. I have tried lower (700 RPM) but it defaults back to 800 RPM and sets the alarm.

The temperatures are good at 31C for the CPU and 34C for the motherboard (ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe with heat pipe cooling and no fans)

Also is there a way to display the CPU temps from the BIOS, while running in Windows??

Thanks for any help in advance.

Most motherboards come with a utility to show temps and fan speeds from windows.

That's what PC Probe is, KTK. That's the Asus utility.

The temp readouts come from the same sensor for both bios and Probe readings.

You should be able to disable the monitoring of the PSU fan in the Probe settings, that's your only real option.

Disable the power supply fan is what I have done.
