After setting "Silent mode" in Bios ,the fan will not move at all, it is a 4 pin PWM Fan ,

I try to play some game , like FarCry3 for 30 mins and it still will not turn on. I went to check the Temp, the CPU TEMP went from 31C/87.8F to 50C/122F already , SO it is hot enough to turn on the CASE Fan ? any idea guys?

In Standard mode, the fan run all the time in normal speed

In Turbo mode, the fan run all the time in High speed

Any idea how Silent mode supposed to work ?

Yes, I am free to choose any mode for my Chasis Fan, it is just that in Silent mode, it will not move at all, so I try to play some game , like FarCry3 for 30 mins and it still will not turn on. I went to check the Temp, the CPU TEMP went from 31C/87.8F to 50C/122F already , SO it is hot enough to turn on the CASE Fan ? any idea guys?When I choose Standard mode, the fan run all the time in normal speed, When I choose Turbo mode, the fan run all the time in High speed.

31°C - 50°C is getting warm for CPU, should have the case fan running in standard mode at that temp. Is the fan too loud in Standard/Turbo mode? You shouldn't use Silent mode for gaming. Gaming should be in Turbo mode.

Thanks, the reason I ask because some people claim the Silent mode keep the fan running is low 800rpm, and very quite which what I like.

I use the BIOS to set the Fan Mode,
The Windows base "FAN-Tastic Tuning" software in windows , don't really know how to use it.

Can anyone have AsROCK MB show me steps how to use it ?
