Hi boli,
Thank you, your reply is much appreciated
Yes - you are correct, I'm using software sensors, however I'm fully aware that they are only available once system boots. This is exactly my problem, where or how to configure QUADRO in state where no sensor data is available. I also did not find any mentioning of this in manual.
I did quick test (as I have one HW temp sensor attached to it) - and it does in fact boot the system with low fan rpm so it's deffinately issue (or working as designed) with software sensors.
The thing is I do not know if this is how it is, and I have to get used to it, or it's an issue.
I would love to hear from other quadro/aquaero owners how their device reacts outside OS when set to software sensor.
Thank you, your reply is much appreciated

The difference in the manual suggests that this may be a shortcoming of the Quadro vs the Aquaero. I recently asked for the appropriate device for my use case and was recommended a Quadro. One noteworthy difference was the Aquaero’s ability to use temperature deltas as input, others such as RGBpx I don’t care about. I ordered the Aquaero mostly because the Quadro was not available (and delta temp thing is a plus). Should arrive this week, will update here regarding this issue.
Hopefully others can help you out.
Maybe you want to write an email to support, they don’t always see everything in the forums.
Edit: I'll ask about this issue in "my" original thread, I suppose stuff is more visible in the german part of the forum.

This is how it looks (1st four sensors are the HW temp sensors, than the flow and rest of them are SW sensors, where in my case I use GPU & CPU sw sensors).Can you provide an screenshot of the Aquasuite of the page in which you can configure the software sensors?
I have attached 3 screens, SW sensor options, HW sensor options and FAN setup page.

Got my Aquaero 6 LT today, and installed it next to my PC temporarily for testing, to play around with it a little bit.
Like you, I added the GPU core temperature as a software sensor, and like the manual suggested, it does have a fallback temperature (called Rückfall-temperatur in the picture).
The relevant part is the bottom right of the picture. Compared to your first picture it becomes evident that your Quadro does not have this ability, just like the manual suggested.
But like Chris suggested, maybe asking AC if they could add this ability might help. Or maybe there's some other solution. As a workaround you probably could just sleep your PC instead of shutting it down.
But then again, based on your eventual target configuration it won't really be an issue anyway.

Dears,
I've received reply from AC team on this subject. Unfortunately default 'fall back' value for FANs once using software sensors is 100% - working as designed. And I qute: "At the moment QUADRO does not allow to set a custom fall back value. Maybe we will add an option to do so in the future."
Ok, so I can understand the fact that QUADRO is the cheaper version of their flagship product and obviously it does not provide such versitality as aquaero - but to be honest before anyone buys it and will do the research available on AC website, one can be left with an impression that at least in the area of what's available in QUADRO, such as fans and RGB (I can not comment on 2nd one as I do not have any RGB strips in my PC) you are getting everything that aquaero can do - this is obviously not the case. This is a little bit discomforting for me, knowing how small software change it is and how big difference it makes in terms of functionality.
Anyway - CSI QUADRO - case closed
Thank you all for getting involved.

I must be doing something wrong then. As you can see in the image below I have set the fallback power of my fans to 10% but on startup they still blast at 100% for a few seconds.
But I shouldn't even need a fallback value in the first place because the fan curve is based on a temperature sensor that's directly plugged into the Quadro, not a software sensor.
So why are they still going to max speed on startup?
