9600GT Fan stays at 100% speed

I recently purchased a 9600GT with big red Dual slot cooler on it. (I think its an OC version)
Problem is fan stay at 100% speed during two critical things;
1. During boot into windows until the nvidia control panel load kicks in and drop the fan speed to something I set.
2. When the computer is in sleep mode, the fan stays on at 100%
How do I fix this?

Obviously, the card's BIOS is programmed to remain at 100% fan speed.  But I would dump the BIOS with GPU-Z, then check it with Nibitor just to be sure.
You can always modify the programmed fan settings in the VGA BIOS yourself, it is really not that difficult...

  • Fans stay loud 100% after initial 'gong' and bootup

    I hope someone will have a suggestion here or can help.
    A perfectly fine 2008-model Mac Pro (3.2Ghz, 32GB RAM, nvidia GT card) was shipped (in original packaging!) across country. While seemingly in perfect shape, when turning on, the fans roar up (as they do, full force, at initial switch-on), but then STAY ON full force, constant, even after the 'gong' and into boot-up.
    Again, this same machine, no changes done, slowed them down to a whisper after 'gong' just before shipping.
    Nothing obvious is loose inside.
    Short of going to the Apple store with it - does anyone have had a similar experience or has any suggestions as to what to try?
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Hatter,
    thanks.
    I re-installed the system from scratch just prior to shipping (and nothing else was installed). Also, the system was shipped in Apple' packaging, so frankly I didn't see a need to remove any internal components - though in hindsight, that might have helped.
    All components (incl. RAM, GPU) were working fine and tested fine; never had a problem until the shipping - and from what we can tell, it's working - just the fans are at 100% and at all quiting down from the moment of startup.
    We'll try the SMC reset, and I guess nvram and pram will be next, prior to us trying the Apple store...
    Thx,

  • IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into si...

    IMac G5 fan always at maximum speed after booting into single-user mode in 10.4.3
    Model: 1.6GHz iMac G5 with 10.4.3
    I updated my iMac to 10.4.3, then booted into single-user mode to do some cleaning at the command-line level. I know, as others have discovered, that in single-user mode, the thermal control is off, so the fan gradually increases up to maximum speed and stays there until you reboot or go into multi-user mode. Well, I have never experienced this one before, and I'm freaking out about it... I went into single-user mood one reboot after upgrading to 10.4.3, and after all the println white text lines ended, the [1] fan shot up to maximum speed in 0.35 seconds (it sounded like a high-pitched DJ record scratch during the time interval), [2] the fan stayed at maximum speed when I left single-user mode, and [3] I cannot get the fan to slow itself! I rebooted, shut down, and even tried booting off the Tiger CD, but the instant I hit the power button to turn on the iMac, the fans blast up to maximum speed. They shut down when I put the iMac to Sleep, but then they blast up again in full when it wakes up. I checked my settings in the Energy Saver preference pane, and I have the performance set to "Reduced," which is the lowest possible.
    I searched to see if anyone else had this problem or if the KBase had any info, but I didn't see any. I'm thinking about erasing and installing my stuff on the iMac, even though I just did that today.
    Again, this maximum speed fan problem is freaking me out. It just started when I booted into single-user mode in OS X 10.4.3. I have booted into single-user mode before (10.4.2) and have not experienced this fan issue. I repeat, the fans blast up to maximum speed after pressing the power switch to turn on the computer, so they do not even wait for the Apple logo to show up on the screen before blasting away. How can I get these fans to not do this anymore?!

    for the last few months my 20" 1.8GHz Imac has been very noisy - fans seem to run constantly and noisily. It might have been when updating to Tiger but I was never sure. Today, on the advice of a chat tech, I opened the case and reset the SMU to hopefully cure another problem. I noticed that all the air vents, intake and expel ones, were all quite heavily clogged up - not blocked but clogged with dust and fluff. I cleared it away mainly by blowing but also with a hand held hoover held close by. The exposed fan still as a lot of muck on it but greatly reduced and all the vents are completely clear. Having put everything back together again the iMac has been runnning quietly all day. May have been the SMU reset but equally might just be that the computer couldn'tdraw in cool air, circulate it or expel it properly and the fans had to work overtime to cope. Worth checking if you have noisy fans running at speed constantly.

  • Re: p67a gd65 b3 CPU fan control staying at 100% ?

    I hate to be reviving this thread, but it's already got evidence of my problem.
    Basically, Only 2 out of the 4 PWM controllers on the motherboard (P67a-GD65) allow for fan control. This was fine originally, when I only had two fans in my case, but when I upgraded to a third and plugged it in, it simply ran at 100% speed. Multiple scans in speedfan only found the CPU control and two PWMs. Looking in the BIOS it only saw two as well, even though the third fan was plugged in and running at 100%.
    My BIOS version is the one just before the ivy bridge update, so the 'improved system fan control' apparently didn't help.

    Quote from: Henry on 28-May-12, 04:09:10
    * There are only 2 PWM not 4, CPU fan & sys fan 1. The others are fan speed monitoring only and are not speed controlled.
    * Where do you get the idea that there is Ivy update for P67? The latest BIOS is 1.I:
    Update CPU Micro Code for Sandy Bridge C2 CPU
    The BIOS update page [http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65.html#/?div=BIOS];[Won't let me hyperlink] shows '- Update BIOS for IvyBridge 22nm CPU.' for BIOS v4. I nabbed version 1.19 because I have an i3-2100.
    The CPU fan is PWM controlled, but so are two of the SYSfans (I am able to control them through speedfan). I find it extremely hard to believe that the two other ones are for 'monitoring' only. You're telling me that they have 3 pins, two for voltage and one for monitoring, but they can't alter the voltage at all, so you'd have to put a controller between the pins and the fan? That completely erases the purpose of having the power coming from the motherboard. You could just get a fan controller that does the same thing, without having to screw around with the motherboard at all. Plus, speedfan doesn't even notice the PWM coming from either SYSFAN3 or SYSFAN4, if they are used for monitoring.
    This is the motherboard you're talking about, right? SYSFAN headers in red, and CPU in green.

  • P67a gd65 b3 CPU fan control staying at 100% ?

    Has anyone been able to get the cpu fan to ramp up and down with temp via bios ? I'm using a Noctua d14 and i5 2500k.

    Hi,
    FYI I have the same issue with my Cooler Master 520 on the same board with a 2600k, fan runs at 100% 24/7, was not able to find a solution yet, will let you know if I do.
    hey you might try to install the control center and then click on the green power tab and then click on the the pop down tab saying green power again and then near the bottom of the page you will see the only three fans that you can control and the RPM they are currently running at. you need to pull down the minues and you will get three options to choose from 100%-75% or 50% but when you choose what you want them to run at be sure to double click that setting or it will just revert back to the original setting.  once you have changed all you want then click apply tab at the very bottom of that page and listen to your fans drop in speed but before you close the page you will need to save that set up so once you verify that what i mentioned worked then click the save tab too and lable it what you want to call it! this should work! but also i use a mega helm rev b and i ended up using sysfan2 and sysfan1 on the mobo for my two fans attached to my cooler just so i could control them both I and hooked up my rear fan on my case to the cpu jack on the mobo! you should have some control of all your other fans threw the click bios, this all worked great for my set up! i have a 2600k and the same mobo and i use ddr3 patriot ram 2000 9-11-9-27.....hope this works for you and answers your questions....have fun!....................................... ...........

  • Z68A-GD80(G3) system fan always at full speed

    I updated the BIOS to J0 with ME8. Installed latest ME and chip set drivers. Set target CPU temparature to 70° and minimum fan speed to 0%. Now my system fans are always at 100%. My systems are PWM type connected to the 4 pin connector on the motherboard. I use control center to set the speed to. 50% but the setting won't stick. The fans used to stay at low speed. It is way too noisy now. Any idea what cause this?

    I get around the issue by using the SpeedFan utility. Install SpeedFan and use the advance configuration to set PWM2 and PWN3 on F71889A to "TEMPERATURE" (the setting were "MANUAL"). The system fans drops to 65% immediately. PWM1 should be the CPU fan connector and is already in "TEMPERATURE". However, the setting still won't stick after reboot. I ended up creating a startup task in the Windows scheduler to run SpeedFan automatically at startup and problem solved.
    I believe the CPU temp target in the J0 BIOS only control PWM1 and probably the same in previous BIOS. I used Control Center to set the fans to silent before. My guess is that that Control Center set the fan speed back to silent mode every time the system starts (it has an auto start entry in the registry). Some how that no longer works with the new BIOS/ME8. I even tried reinstalling Control Center and still no luck.
    I hope MSI reintroduce settings for PWM2 and PWM3 directly in future BIOS update.

  • ThinkCentre Edge 72 Fan running at 100%

    Hello,
    I use a ThinkCentre Edge 72 3484 PC which CPU fan is constantly (load and idle) running at 100% speed (2500rpm). This resulsts in a very noisy working area and is very annoying. I installed the latest BIOS (F1KT63A / 21.01.2014), the latest chipset device driver (9.3.0.1020 / 16.05.2012), the latest Lenovo Desktop Power Manager (3.20.0006 / 12.12.2013), loaded Setup defaults after BIOS update and checked the C1E state (enabled, C1E only and also every other settings which I can choose) and also installed Speedfan to check the temperatures and fan-speed. The fan is running at 100% even though the CPU temperature is only at 23°C. I even opened the desktop case and checked if the CPU fan is installed correct and that all four pins of the fan connector are fine.
    Specs:
    Model: ThinkCentre Edge 72 (3484)
    OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1 with latest windows updates
    Chipset driver: 9.3.0.1020 / 16.05.2012
    BIOS version: F1KT63A / 21.01.2014
    Lenovo Desktop Power Manager: 3.20.0006 / 12.12.2013
    How do I fix this issue? Every help appreciated.
    Solved!

    FYI: I called lenovo support and they sent a technician who replaced the CPU fan and now everything is working like it should.

  • Why does my battery stay at 100% for ages and then plummet at 100mph?

    Since I updated to iOS7 my battery meter stays at 100% every bit as long as it did on iOS6 but then once it starts falling it really speeds up. The first 10% go fairly slowly, the second 10% falls even quicker and it continues in this vein. The last 10% is over in a flash. I have calibrated my battery six or seven times in succession and my battery meter always drops to 1%, it never switches off earlier than it should but I just don't understand this non-linear battery meter reading. It never used to act like this in iOS6.

    I had this problem over the weekend. It's very annoying.
    Anyway, I read your posts and some others and the only thing that's changed on my phone since I was last abroad and didn't have this problem is that I enabled MobileMe to track the location of my phone.
    Makes sense.
    The app is constantly trying to update apple with the whereabouts of the phone. With data roaming turned off, it can't do it, so tries and tries again and the phone never gets into standby. Make a wifi connection and it's fine for a few hours as it can update the location, but next time it tries if you're off the wifi it'll frantically try again.
    This also explains why it doesn't have the problem if data roaming is left on, as it can carry on reporting location as usual (at your expense).
    Also, because you configure it in the mail account settings, that explains why you get the message about data roaming being turned off every time you look at your messages.
    Try removing the MobileMe account from your phone - you'll see the battery drain goes back to normal.
    Apple should fix this bug - they just need to change the app so it checks whether data roaming is turned on or not before updating location. Maybe a message saying MobileMe needs data roaming turned on to work abroad, or maybe it could just check if it's enabled and if not, don't try to make the connection until the phone is no longer roaming. The problem is if your phone is stolen and goes abroad, without MobileMe doing what it's supposed to be doing your data is compromised and you won't have the cool remote erasing functionality etc.
    Oh well!

  • New mac 21,5, fan run at maximum speed, + sleep down every 12 secondes

    Hi,
    On a new Imac ( 2 weeks), suddenly fans run at maximum speed after you turn it on.
    I tried to reset SMC as described on article TS1433 without success.
    I've got another problem, when my imac sleep down, it wakes up by itself and goes to sleep every 12 seconds. If I reboot, it stay on until the next sleep down.
    Any idea ??
    Bruno

    Sounds like a candidate for return. My new 21.5 has worked flawlessly 99.9% of the brief time I've had it (since early November).
    The one time I had a problem with it, the fan went into hyperdrive and the noise was deafening (and I'm hard of hearing). I don't remember doing anything wild at the time. I'm not sure I even had BootCamp up with Win7 at that time.
    Anyway, I turned the computer off, waited a couple of minutes and then turned it back on and it was back to quiet mode again. Never happened again (at least with me in the room).
    Couldn't be happier with the computer! Besides all the OS X stuff, it runs Win 7 in BootCamp probably as well as any Windows computer and maybe even better.

  • MSI 970a-g43 CPU fan always at 100% when fast boot or MSI Fast Boot is enabled

    I turned on fast boot in my motherboard in my BIOS but now whenever I boot into windows the CPU fan is always at 100%. I really like the performance gain from fast boot, however I can't stand the CPU fan always at 100%. The fan normally runs at ~1150rpm when its off but when its on it runs full blast ~2800rpm.
    My specs are:
    MSI 970a-g43
    AMD FX 6300
    MSI HD 7870 OC Edition (Flashed with GOP vBios)
    2x4 8gb DDR3 g.skillz ram

    I have it set to 55c smart fan control in the BIOS. With fast-boot off it works perfectly. It seems like its not lowering the fan like it normally does when its on. If I go into the BIOS and reset it it'll work fine the first time, but after that it'll do the 100% fan speed all the time.

    What drivers and AB version you have?
    The fans are really spinning that fast or this is only wrong read out?
    Thanks for the reply...
    Catalyst 13.12 (also tried the ones that came with the card)
    Latest MSI AB version from their site...
    The fans are running full pelt, trust me it isn't a readout issue in terms of the RPM speed being 3k. Straight from power on they're running at that speed and don't change regardless of  load... Temps are great on another note haha.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks :-)

  • MSI GE60 0ND Fan running at 100% issue

    Hi,
    So for the past few months my laptop has been having the issue where it would have the fan speed increase to 100% then slow down and turn off. It would do this a lot. Anyway, tonight I was playing a game and next thing I heard the fan increase to 100%  but this time it made a loud almost grinding noise. And that's all it does now. It has slowed my boot up incredibly. I unplugged the fan to test this theory and my boot up was less than 10 seconds. So now I have a fan making a loud noise and creating issues with my laptop. I have a GE60 0ND windows 8.1. The bios has never been flashed and it came installed with windows 8. Can anyone help me? I have tried an EC Reset.

  • Fan running at ax speed after keyboard change / Ts0P error (solved)

    Hi everyone.
    I replaced my macbook pro keyboard and when i rebooted fan started to run at max speed.
    I runned the hardware check and it gave me an error on the lap rest thermal sensor ( 4SNS/1/40000000 Ts0P ).
    I found the solution after a while so I want to share it here:
    1° you can change the sensor (there are tutorial on the web : http://www.henrycipolla.com/blog/2011/05/macbook-pro-fix-4sns140000000-tsop-by-r eplacing-palm-rest-sensor-fixes-fan-constantly-at-100/ )
    This is the safer option, but more expensive - i choosed the other way.
    2° you can software adjust the fan speed you'll need three softwares:
    (disclaimer you will tweak fan settings : do it at your own risks, i only guarantee it worked on my Mac )
    smcFanControl http://www.eidac.de/
    fanControl http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/23137/fan-control (the setting on the screenshot looks good)
    and a script i wrote: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8sgHEuP6f3LMDJuaHF4aUVjTzQ/edit (click file -> download).
    install the two first
    open preferences / Fancontrol and set it up as you like.
    open terminal ,
    go to your download folder
    $ cd  ~/Downloads/TempCtrl
    launch the install script
    $ ./install.sh
    How does it works?
    smcFanControl shows you the temperature and an screen , it provides the script an utility to change the max fan speed.
    fanControl sets the minimum fan speed according to the computer temperature: the purpose of this tool is to keep your mac not too warm.
    the script adds a deamon to set a maximum fan speed , every 10 s, safely above the minimum fan speed. Then your fan speed is bounded by fancontrol and my script around the value where it should be.
    note: the controls from the smcFanSpeed menu do not work: they are constantly overriden by fancontrol an the script. It is a sign the two other works fine.
    note 2: with fanControl if you change the base speed (either way) you chood hear a fan speed change and see the value change.
    note 3: in terminal the following command should have an output every 10 seconds roughly showing you fan 0 min and max speed:
    $ tail -F /usr/bin/tempcontr/templog.txt
    note 4: you can uninstall my script (from the same folder as above) with
    $ cd  ~/Downloads/TempCtrl
    $ ./unsintall.sh
    Hope this helps, please post comments if it worked for you (or not).
    (c) Please feel free to tweak the script as you see fit for your own use.

    My machine is a late 2006 17" mbp with an early 2008 keyboard/top-plate in it.  This combination shows a tsop error and it is very sensitive to temp.  If the machine is really cold it will start out slow and the eventually end up at full speed even though the computer is still quite cool.  Swapping back to a 2006 keyboard/top-plate reverts it back to normal operation (but has bad keys and some wear and tear which is why I wanted to use the newer top).  So I thought your script would help me out but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.  The templog file immediately  shows 1618 and 1562 for min and max but doesn't seem to update and my fans are running at 6k.  Any thoughts? 

  • Regardless of temperature fans always at maximum speed

    Hey,
    I have a 'Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display'
    It was working fine until yesterday (I've had it 11 months) when the fans decided to just stick to max spin rate (5900 odd) i tried the SMC reset. It did nothing. Reformatted the whole Macbook, even while reformatting the fans were going at maximum.. still the same problem. Did a hardware test and it just returned a SATA problem which i googled and most people said you can ignore it.
    It was left off all night and when i came to use it the next day it was actually okay (Was at or around 3000) for about 30 minutes now it's just back to maximum again. Even if i have no programs open and the activity monitor shows CPU load has like 99% idle CPU the fans still run at maximum. It's okay for the most part besides the noise until it gets to a point where the whole computer slows to a crawl. Everything is delayed by like 10-15 seconds even if i have no programs open. The only way i've found to fix that is to shut it down for 5m or so, after booting it again fans still stay at maximum speed but it's usable again.
    I have a genius appointment Monday but is there anything else i can try between now and then? I've just got a feeling they are gonna make me pay for any problem even though it's still in Warranty because it was dropped 4 months or so ago but the problems only started yesterday. I did actually go to Apple when it was dropped but i couldn't afford the screen replacement but i still feel like the will pin any fault on me causing it as opposed to anything else.
    Thanks.

    It was looked over and they said the only thing was the screen. Why would a temperature sensor be fine for 4 months after it supposodely broke?
