Axis 700 - CPU Temp and Sys Fan Control Problems

I have just received an Axis 700 barebones. I ordered a 700 Lite with the fanless processor but I received a system with C7-D 1.5GHz processor and a system fan !. The heatsink looks the same as the Titan 700.
The BIOS and PC Alert report a CPU temp of 64C immediately on start-up rising to 70C at idle and 100C under heavy load. System temp is steady at aound 30C. I've measured the heatsink temp with thermometer and it's about half the value reported by PC Alert.
The system fan in the heatsink is running at full speed but BIOS and PC Alert reports 0 rpm. If I slow the fan almost to a stop with a piece of paper, I do get a fan speed of 1000-2000 rpm.
It feels like a BIOS problem but the MSI website only has a single version, v1.00. My board has version v1.1B4.
Does anybody have a similar experience?

It could be something wrong with the CPU FAN, else if you think that its BIOS issue you can ask MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/

Increased fan noise, CPU temp and random fan rpm bursts when using Leopard

I have a 2.2 Ghz Macbook Pro that I purchased in August 2007. I was running OS X Tiger on my mac till about a week ago when I decided to upgrade to OS X Leopard. Ever since the install, I've been facing numerous problems and issues with the general functionality of the computer. Specifically, the biggest issue relates to increased fan noise and random bursts of increased fan rpm (as monitored using iStat). I did not have any of these issues when using OS X Tiger. Further upgrading to 10.5.1 wasn't helpful either as it did not resolve the issue.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It may be worth running the Apple Hardware Test, just in case you have a sensor going out or something like that. Sometimes and upgrade will cause an underlying problem to make itself known.
Did you do an Upgrade as opposed to an Archive and Install or an Erase and Install? If so, there could be some software problem associated with the issues you are having. I tried an Archive and Install, and had so many issues that I went ahead and did an Erase and Install. I've had no problems since.
Good luck!

CPU Temp and Fan Speed

Hi
According to SMC Fan Control and iStat my CPU is running at 74C currently and often 90C under light load with associated fan speed of 6200 rpm. I have checked activity monitor and very little load on CPU jsut safari and Activity Monitor have any significant usage ( 10% ish). Is this a 'normal' CPU temp and if not are there any ways to check cooling or in crease cooling, ultimately to keep the fan low and noise down,battery life up??
many thanks

thanks for the response.
'All processes' is selected - showing 50-70% CPU idle. MacBook has good ventilation, sitting on a hard table. I upgraded the HD a while ago, to a 7200 rpm 320GB unit, would this make a difference?

Weired voltage cpu temp and fan speed readings

Built this system last week when i install core center I get no 3.3 v readings. cpu temp plays between 18c to 60c and the fan speed from 800 t0 6000rpm. Check in the bios all voltage readings are fine but cpu temp and fan readins can be way off. Also installed lastest versions of mbm and get the same results. Flashed bios to latest version also. Cool and quiet is not activated. Weired thing everything runs fine. motherboard k8t neo2 cpu amd 64 3500 memory corsair 3200LL 1024 video card BFG 6800gt sound Audigy 2 hard drive WD 120 sata liteon dvd rom and cd-r power supply Antec 480watt neo power Everything is at stock speeds with all latest drivers and xp sp2. Don't know what can be the problem. Please help not the first systeme I have built but first time I encounter this problem. Tried 3 different psu for testing and get the same result.

Well sorry to say I solved the problem for good. Contacted MSI support. Only answer I got was Maybe the board was bad. Got it exchanged from the store and got an Asus av8 deluxe rev.2 instead. Everything runs fine. It was my first MSI board and sad to say it gave me a lot of headaches and configeration problems. The new setup ran great on the first try. Don't think I will buy MSI again in the near future.

Is there a free app that allows me to show cpu temp and fan speed in menu bar?

i want a free app that monitors cpu temp and fan speed and can display them in the menu bar of my MBA

Latest upgrade - have you noticed a BIG change in CPU temp and fan activity

I have just installed the latest update which included the Mac OS X Update 10.5.7.
Prior to this, the CPU temperature was averaging 100, fan speed approx 2-3k, no matter what I did. Checking the ACtivity Monitor showed no runaway programmes.
Now CPU temp is 56, fan speed 1k.
The battery pack no longer is hot enough to fry an egg.
Has anyone experienced such changes?
I wonder if this relates to the very poor battery life/usage associated with these MBP originals?

MOVED: question regarding CPU temps and latest bios (1.8)

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
question regarding CPU temps and latest bios (1.8)

I'd believe the first bios's temps more than the second...
However what temps are given when using speed fan and/or everest? (in windows)

P67A-G45 Fan Control Problem After BIOS Update

My old BIOS version was 1.8. I could control my fans in BIOS(50-75-100% RPM). Also SpeedFan tool was working perfectly, I could change fan speeds freely.
I just installed MSI Live Update and tool updated my BIOS version to 1.E(CPU-Z says v1.14) without any problem. But when I entered BIOS/Hardware Monitor I saw that fan control is disabled. Both sys fan 1 and sys fan 2 are stuck in %65. SpeedFan doesn't working too.
CPU Smart Fan is okay, works fine but system fans are uncontrollable now.
My Hardware;
i5 2500k
MSI P67A-G45
G-Skill 1333MHz 2x2GB DDR3
Samsung 502HJ
HAF 912+ with 2x120mm fans 2x200mm fans
Sapphire Pure 625W

Flash back to the BIOS that worked for you and report your findings to MSI technical. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Use the forum flasher in the future. Its safer. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

MEGA 865 fan control problems after suspend/hibernate.

I'm seeing the CPU fan control problems, and it's REALLY ANNOYING, as it means I have to leave the machine on all the time. Specifically, after suspending or hibernating the machine, on wakeup the CPU fan goes to full speed and STAYS THERE until I reboot.
This is on a CLEAN INSTALL of Windows XP.
Is there going to be a fix for this from MSI soon? Because it's really ruining the experience of using the MEGA.

Hi guys,
I have builded a Mega 651 attaching a Celeron 2.4 Ghz.
I installed the cooler but I got really scared when I realised that the fan run for 2 secs and then stopped.
Is this normal?
If yes then i am assuming that the voltage of the fan is controlled by a thermal sensor, meaning that the fan goes on when the temperature reaches a certain limit.
Can the threshold temperature be controlled from bios so I can set it to minimum possible?
thanks in advance

CPU Temp and CPU Fan Speed

I am having a strange problem . One time I will boot the PC and CPU temp is 43 and CPU fan speed is 1308 rpm in Core Center. I do a restart system and the CPU temp is 32 to 36 and CPU fan speed 3308. Not sure if I should trust Core Center . Bios shows CPU temp 48 and fan speed of 3328. I have been reading here that there are a bunch of threads containing some kind of problem with CPU temp or fan speed. My Bios is 1.4. If anbody can give me some ideas that would be great.

Open CoreCenter on deshtop. Click where it says CoreCenter. Click Cool&Quite button. Then Click apply. This drops the fan speed back into the 1400 range and the temp will rise back to the 40s.

K7N2GM-L 6777 BIOS doesnt correctly detect CPU temp and FAN speed

Hello,
I use a K7N2GM-L 6777 mobo with a amd 1800+ and a arctic copper silent 2tc.
the mobo isnt able to detect the right cpu temperature and cpu fan speed in bios.
did anyone experienced that problem??
i already updated to the latest bios V1.6 but no change !!
the cpu temp is shown about 6°C/42°F and the fan speed is 0 rpm !!!
but the system temp is shown correctly (21°C/69°F (when i just started the system))
any idea
greetz,
fba

Hello!
It has been heard of before, yes, but your board is rather new so I don't think it has had an issue yet.
There is normally a sensor on the processor. If it does on your processor I can't say. If there isn't a sensor on the processor, or if it is covered with thermal grease, or otherwise damaged, BIOS and all programs that read BIOS data will be wrong.
Bit off: I'm speculating in that HSF, and I wonder how good and quiet it is. Been recommended by a store nearby.

USB/FireWire usage increases CPU temp and fan speed

Hi,
I'm curious, does the usage of USB and FireWire ports increase CPU temperature and fan speed...?
I have an M-Audio Fast Track USB interface plugged in and whenever I play any songs from iTunes using that interface as an output, my CPU temp increased and fan speed jumped from 2000 to 3300 rpm. And on separate occasion, an 8GB of file transfer from an external FireWire-based HDD had both fans speed up to 4,400 rpm.
Is this normal...? All these were done with an external display plugged onto the MBP with "clamshell" mode.

USB operations involves quite a bit of CPU action, Elphidieus.
Firewire places less demand on the CPU but, in a situation like the one you describe can involve both increases in power usage and in HD temperatures.
The fan speeds on Macs are not simply responsive to CPU usage. Both HD temps and power usage can also play a part in the equation that ultimately produces the fan speed. As HDs have much lower heat tolerance than CPUs you will find that it is quite common to see the fans ramp up when doing a large file transfer over FW (or USB, for that matter) , especially if the internal HD temp gets to over about 50-55º Celsius.
Cheers

P35 Neo - Sys Fan control

I have a P35 Neo and recently i bought a cooler and a fan for my Ati4850.I connected the fan to the Sys Fan 1 but to my dissapointment i cant control the rpm of the fan through the Dual core center .
I took a look at Bios but i couldnt find anything useful.
Do i miss something ?
I even download Speedfan but didnt help .

I don't know of any that would have fan speed control for anything other than CPU fan. The only thing I can suggest would be to purchase a fan control module of some kind that goes in an empty drive bay. Something like >> this <<

Cpu fan control problem

I hope maybe somebody here can help me out, I dont know where else to try, please be gentle with me, just a newbie!
I have a Medion 1918 desktop pc purchased in nov. 2004 and I was very happy with it until it quit working about 8 weeks ago. The machine would not post, and subsequently was returned for repair to the manufacturer. Making a short story long, it took almost 8 weeks to get it back in my hands and its just not the same as it was when it left here..
The motherboard was replaced with a ms-7041, and all I can tell you is its a 865pe, but I cant find any info or documentation on the msi site for this model. I do not even know if this is the same board model that it replaced.
The problem is the computer now sounds like a 747 taking off, I mean this thing is so loud now. The fan spins at full speed all the time now, whereas before it would throttle up or down depending on what the cpu was working on, or if it was just idling. I have also noticed I dont have a "pc health status" when I go into the bios, so I cant even tell what the cpu temps are or what the fan speeds are currently running at.
I probably will need to give more info, but I dont know what else you guys might need to know to help me out.
If there is anyone who can help steer me in the right direction to rectifying this noise, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks Danny, after much reading in these forums, and other similar questions, I had a feeling you were going to say that.
I realize now its an oem board and theres not much help from msi. But I was hoping somebody might have some ideas why its so loud now and wont vary the rpm anymore like it did. Also, what about the pc health status? Shouldnt there be one on a current cpu/mobo of this speed?
On the downside, so far, its not been too easy of a go with the folks at medions customer care, which is why I was looking for other opinions here.
I just cant run this machine like this. If I had a meter, I would bet the noise is above 80decibels. You cant even turn up the pc speakers loud enough to watch a dvd. Medion tried to tell me they probably changed the fan, cuz its only a three pin connector, and that the variable rpm fans are four pins and that this replacement mobo wouldnt connect to the old fan, but it looks like the same fan got put back on to me, cuz its dirty and got some dust bunnies stuck in there. So I dont know what or who to believe.
A few more questions to add to the pile...
What controls the variable fan speed on these p4's, bios?
Is it unusual that there is no pc health in the bios settings?
Thats all I can think of right now, I must shut this thing down for a couple hours cuz I'm going deaf and cant hear myself think.

CPU temp and paranoia.

Hi all,
During CPU intensive processes (rendering etc.) the iStat menu reports the CPU temp of up to 81C, which is quite hot, I think. At the same time the fans speed up to about 2200rpm and don't go any faster.
Now, should I assume that the system knows what it's doing and leave it as is, or be paranoid and get the fan control and speed the fans up?
I am not sure what to think / do about it.
TIA

Here's the link to Fan Control. I run it on my MBP even though it's not currently doing heavy-duty apps.
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31029
One nice feature is a quick access setting (via a menubar icon) to a "high-performance" setting that runs the fans up to their max of 6000. Handy if you see the temp climbing unexpectedly.
