Better Fan Control in Command center?

I am looking for a way to set my system fans to 20% (like you can for the CPU fans) or set them to 0%(Off) for a certain temp setting.
Is there a way to do this with command center (Thinking INI config or something)
if there is no way currently to do this, where can I make a feature request?

Actually you can have them off for low temp..at least for mine.
I am actually using an LED strip in the case fan 2 plug
I have the Z97 Gaming 5.. and in the bios I have the smart fan setup once it hits 40 it lights the led, but then min is 50% (I wish it could be less!) then as the temp increases, it gets brighter.
At idle, the led is off...
would be really nice if the case fans had the option for 20% like the cpu..
So have you looked at the bios fan settings?
waiiit... I wonder if I could connect it to the CPU fan 2!!! then it can be as low as 20% lol

  • Should MSI Command Center control MSI GTX 760?

    I'm running the MSI Z87-GD65 MB with BIOS 1.8 and the MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC with MSI driver 9.18.13.3165 along with MSI Command Center version 1.0.0.40.
    The Command Center does not appear to be interacting with the GPU at all, the OC sliders are greyed out and the gadget reports GPU Freq of 0.
    The card responds properly to Afterburner and works properly in all gaming and other PC apps.
    So I think my problem is strictly with Command Center. Should I be expecting it to contol the 760?
    Thanks in advance.

    Did MSI also have "APP" to control the command center??
    I like MSI GAMING APP, that's very convenient!
    yeah ~ hear it is:

  • With Firefox 4, I get a message "additional plug ins required" when trying to use TD Ameritrade's Command Center. Even they don't know what additional plug in will make it work. It worked fine on Firefox 3.6

    TD Ameritrade's Tech Support said that Firefox 4.0 will not work with their Command Center. Keep getting an error message "additional plugins required" but nobody knows what it needs. Firefox 3.6 and all the earlier versions worked just fine (better than Safari).

  • Command Center keeps reverting to CPU fan manual mode

    some background:
    i've had this system for a few months now running with no issues. back when i just got it, i ran into a problem with MSI Gaming App, where the 3 fixed modes would either run unjustifiably loud for the temps, or too quiet and hot. this is in comparison to prior installing the application. after i uninstalled it, the fans continued to behave as if on Gaming Mode, which was the last setting before removal of the application. being unable to trace the source of the setting, i did a Windows restore point to just prior first installation of the Gaming App, and sure enough - the fans calmed down, and temps returned to manageable ~32c.
    today i gave a try to these apps seeing that they went through some upgrades. i played around with MSI Gaming App, and the Command Center to try the OC Genie/OC Mode features which appear to be the same thing. After noticing very marginal improvement in benchmarks i decided to go back to normal.
    In the course of rerunning different benchmarks with and without OC Mode, i noticed that every time the system would reboot out of the OC Mode into Silent Mode, the fans would spin, but be rather quiet and temps would start to rise 50 and over with practically no load on the system. If i rebooted back into Gaming Mode, the fans would be loud, but with no system load the temps still about 10 degrees higher than before i installed these applications.
    In Command Center i noticed that after each such reboot, the CPU fan always gets reverted to Manual Mode. I would change this to Smart Mode and hit Apply, yet after the next reboot the fans would again be in Manual Mode. I'm on the verge of again doing a restore point to get rid of these apps once and for all, but before i do that does anyone have any ideas of what is happening? this seems like clearly a software issue, as without involving MSI software the fans and temps behave just fine.
    I found another thread where this was reported with another mobo, another processor, and a much earlier version of CC 1.0.0.83 or 87. mine is 1.0.0.97.
    thanks for your time.

  • Command Center Crashing!

    Hello,
    Just yesterday I brought a Z97 Gaming 5 to replace an older Z77 board.  Went to install Command Center and other utilities, and from the get go not working. Let me be specific, the main thing I need is command center, however Super Charger says "Super-Charger only supports MSI mainboard" when launched and the MSI gaming app says "The platform does not support this application".  Now on to the more annoying matter. Command Center refuses to even open, crashes on startup.  It did startup ONCE but was stuck on the loading screen.  Used the debug mode and got this:

    Thanks, I tried that one and still no cigar.  It also appears there is something wrong in general as when installing SpeedFan and other programs alike to check whether its an isolated issues, SpeedFan could not pick up any of my Fans connected to the board...except for the GPU! What is this! As for the Command Center, nope, I re installed NET again and engine drivers etc... Any Ideas?
    Still getting same Error Events for the NET framework and CC itself. I need a fix ASAP as I have no real way to control fans or small clock increases, minus BIOS of course. And controlling fans as i said previous seems...interesting right now.
    SpeedFan won't detect the fan sensors, it's not just you. On the command center issue, try this, install MSI Intel Extreme Tuning utility http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/extreme_tuning_9.zip, and give the Command Center 1.0.0.70 beta 1 another try.
    It refuses to run for me unless Intel Extreme Tuning is also installed..... also, make sure you're running the latest version of the chipset driver, and the Intel Management Engine driver.

  • User-devel​oped Fan Control for the S10(e)

    Hello and welcome.
    When you've searched the internet and found this thread, it's possible that you are an owner of a Lenovo Ideapad S10 or S10e which has a little problem with the behaviour and/or the noise of the fan. In this post you will get all the informations you need to handle this problem for yourself. It should also be the same on every S9/S9e.
    Just a few comments before we begin:
    This is not an official support or solution by Lenovo.
    We are just normal users as you are, but we get rid of the fan and wanted to find a way to handle it. So if you want to try anything of the methods described here you have to know that you'll do all this only at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damages of your device. You should only use these methods if you know what you are doing.
    Please note that this thread is only for discussing, improving, trouble shooting and perhaps extending the fan control utilities. Any general complaints about the fan problem itself should be placed in the original thread right here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.i​d=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=795. It already has 80+ pages (the link goes to the first page) and it is better to exclude all the fan control stuff because there it's very difficult to keep an overview.
    Here you may post all of your questions, ideas/brainstorming, concerns, thanks and so on and you are really invited to participate and be an active member. 
    In this first part of this post I'm going to summarize all information about using a fan control utility. For any newbie it will be enough to read this post to get all necessary information. The second part does the same for developement of fan control utilities as we still have no known or working fan control utility for Linux, Mac OS X and other OSs I've forgotten - for now.
    For getting started you need a S10 or S10e with an up-to-date BIOS. For the S10 it's the 90 67, for the S10e the 66.
    The battery issue
    Under very specific circumstances - that we haven't figured out yet - it might happen that your Lenovo S9/10(e) no longer detects the battery while using S10FanControl or S10Fan. It might occur after 2 minutes, it might occur after 2 months, it might never occur. It does not occur using Notebook Hardware Control.
    It can be solved by removing the battery, waiting 10 seconds and put it back in. Then the battery is re-initialized and the detection works again.
    S10FanControl - Windows
    The first utility is S10FanControl created by user dresslerc. The current version is 1.0.0.1, available here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5xmnrnijf/S10FanCt​rl1.0.0.1.zip. After you've downloaded it you just have to extract it and start the .EXE in the "Release" folder. Here are the notes and the description dresslerc posted right here:
    Everyone,
    I've uploaded a version which everyone can use to test with.  Remember this is still a TEST version although I think it works for the most part.  It should work both on the S10/S10e.
    Please install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later first.
    Then click here to download the exe:  http://www.mediafire.com/?jlg2enkjdxn
    Once downloaded, extract the files and hit hte S10FanCtrl.Exe.  Once this program launches you should be able to control the fan.  Keep in mind that if you lower the fan speed then it'll take upto 30 seconds before the S10 registers the change, so be patient.
    I've only tested this on the latest BIOS 59.  I am sure it will work on the 57 as well but the individual speeds might not work properly on that version.  Please try it out and report back.
    The only issue that I heard so far is that occasionally the fan will kick in regardless if in Manual/Smart Mode.  Also the temp it shows may not be accurate.  If you find any other issues please let me know what they are so I can attempt to fix them.
    Once we have all the kinks worked out then I will release the source. 
    Heres a quick Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKl70ZgmFg 
    REMEMBER: USE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS PROGRAM MIGHT CAUSE.
    Application Use:
    BIOS Controlled - Fan is controlled by the BIOS
    Smart Mode - Fan is controlled based on the conifguration in the options.  You can set the threshold here at what temp you want the fan to kick in...
    Manual - Fan is controlled manually by the slider.
    If you want to have the program startup automatically, then place a shortcut of the app in the PROGRAM FILES -> STARTUP folder.  Then you may want to go to the options and make the application minimize at startup.
    Edit:
    It seems there are some issues with the app and the S10e or previous BIOS versions.  Will post a fix asap.
    The source code for S10FanControl is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7a3fb99d33817c0​8c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871, written in Visual Basic .NET 2008.
    S10Fan - Windows
    The second utility is a tool written by user slash:
    Hi guys,
    Well it looks like Lenovo dropped this matter after all. Anyway, I have here another fan controller to add to the bunch. I have been using it for some time now without any problems. It is for both S10 and S10e.
    What the program does is basically the same as others. The S10's fan speed is controlled according to the ACPI thermal zone temperature. By over writing the values which resides at offset 50h of the EC register at an appropriate timing, the ACPI thermal zone temperature is over ridden. The program is written in C and uses WinIo created by Sysinternals. The GUI version is available now.
    It should be noted that the fan speed temperature thresholds differs with BIOS version. For 14CN67WW and 14CW90WW  the fan changes speed at temperatures 60c, 65c, 70c, and 80c. Furthermore, the BIOS will automatically shutdown the S10 if the temperature reaches 90c.
    The program has a fail safe mechanism that automatically disables itself if the actual ACPI thermal zone temperature goes above 85c. This allows the BIOS to regain control and the fan will work as intended by Lenovo. If the temperature drops below 85c the program will take over control again.
    To run the program, you will need administrative privileges.
    Known working BIOS versions:  14cn58ww,  14cn60ww, 14cn67ww, 14cn90ww
    The program will work with any BIOS version as long as the BIOS uses the 50h EC register readouts to control the fan.
    build 2009.05.24
    Higher priorities for EC commands.
    Usage: The program will run in the system tray. Double click or right click and use the menu to open the program. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'Setup' button. To run at boot time, place a short cut in the startup folder.

    Notebook Hardware Control - Windows
    The third utility is a profile for Notebook Hardware Control. I've adapted it from a profile for the Lenovo N500 which I've found here: http://nhc.yourcopy.de/overview/. With the manual for creating the profiles that can be found here: http://www.notebook-treff.de/board/database/hilfsp​rogramme-f%C3%BCr-nhc/92-how-to-create-an-acpi-fil​... I was able to change the ACPI commands to work on the S10(e).
    Installation and setup is divided in two steps. The program Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is available at http://www.pbus-167.com/. Install the program, but do not start it for now. Then you need my NHCConfig utility, available here: http://forum.eeepcnews.de/download/file.php?id=147​6. It detects your model number and BIOS-version via WMI and writes a proper S10(e) profile to the NHC acpi directory. The GUI is German if you have a German Windows and English if not. Additional languages can be added.
    After you've extracted the ZIP-file you have to start the nhcc.exe (requires .NET Framework 2.0). At first a message appears that you use the program at your own risk. Then you can choose if you want to apply your own settings (experts) or if you just want the program to run with my defaults (newbies). In the settings window you can see your system details on the left, you can set up your thresholds in the middle and you can set the fan speed you want on the right. Then click on execute. 
    Now start NHC. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Show all NHC options and settings". Then a few more tabs appear. Go to the "ACPI" tab and check if the "ACPI Control System" is running (if everything works, the message "ACPI Control System running" will appear, otherwise it says "ACPI control system is not yet configured for this system"). Now click on "Show ACPI Control System details".
    Here you can change the temperature values the fan control depends on (the settings from NHCC are the default values). On the bottom of the window you can see the "Current CPU temperature". That is the value you have to deal with. In general it has a value of around 60°C. In the middle you can see four user editable temperature values. You can leave the values as they are if everything works. The on/off values are responsible for the temperatures at which the fan starts running and stops again after cooling the device. The level values are responsible for the fan speed, for example you can set the off_level higher to let the fan run all the time at the lowest level, if the values do not fit for your device or whatever.
    You can switch between NHC and BIOS control by disabling or enabling the "ACPI Control System" or by closing NHC.
    Q:
    A:
    With every utility it is possible that it takes some time until you see an effect after you've started the program. Any failure of the programs should be no big problem because the only thing that should happen is that the BIOS controls the fan. Another issue that might occur due to the way the fan is controlled is that the fan may start running for a very short time and it looks like the fan control has lost control. The fan should stop immediately or at least after a few seconds.
    Keep in mind that running the S10(e) with a fan control means that the S10(e) has to deal with higher temperatures. That could mean that the device will not last for 10 years but only 9 years (who uses a netbook so long...?). In every case you need a tool for monitoring your cpu temperature. We know that especially Core Temp 0.99.5 and Real Temp 3.00 do a very good job. That is important because the temperature values you need to set up the fan control are different from the values reported by the cpu sensor, they are between 15°C and 20°C higher. A normal temperature reported by the monitoring should be around 40°C, with the NHC default values the fan starts running at 52°C and stops at 38°C.

    Q:
    A:
    END using fan control
    BEGINNING developing fan control
    Controlling the S10(e)'s fan is a litte bit difficult because it looks like there is no way to control it directly. But it is possible to manipulate the temperature the BIOS fan control depends on. As long as the built-in fan control thinks that the cpu is cool enough the fan stays off. And that is exactly the point where we can attack.
    The fan control depends on a field called RTMP in the memory of the embedded controller. It can be accessed via "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", the offset of RTMP is 0x50 (hex) or 80 (dec). It is a direct I/O read/write. The complete NHC command for reading the value is: ACPI.FIELD.ReadByOffset("_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", ref value, 0x50, 8) with "value" as the variable which gets the value.
    What program logic do you need? You need a timer or something else that conducts an always-refresh cycle. It sounds very easy: You read the value, manipulate it and write it back. And it is that easy, you just have to keep some things in mind.
    This refresh has to be done very often. The procedure must be very thin and quick. Also the bus that is used to communicate with the EC is a problem, but since the S10e BIOS 66 it became a minor problem for me because it looks like the built-in fan control now depends on some kind of average value over the last few seconds and it doesn't really matter if one write-cycle is failing.
    The read-event must be placed before the write-event. Otherwise you just read your manipulated value. The field is filled by the system regularly, so you just have to test if the read_value is different from the written_value, then you know that the field was filled with a "fresh" value. Like "if read_temperatue <> written_temperature then real_cpu_temperature = read_temperature else do nothing".
    About the values you have to write back... you will have to test and play a bit. My experience is that you can select three fan levels, starting at 59°, 62° and 70° - at least with the NHC profile and my S10e it's like that. It's some trial 'n' error. My fan stays off at < 59°, but you should select a very low value for fan_off like 30°. In my opinion it switches off much faster the lower the written value is. But it's just a feeling, I haven't measured it.

    Great opening post Carsten!
    The latest bios:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71252 (BIOS 66)
    The FSB can be reduced from 133MHz to 100MHz using SetFSB, this also reduces the heat:
    http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
    clockgen = SLG8SP513V
    If you add a shortcut to the startup folder the program will start at startup. Under properties you can change the target to:
    "C:\Program Files\SetFSB\setfsb.exe" -s100 -b1 -cg[SLG8SP513V] -w20
    So it starts with a FSB of 100Mhz, in the background, with the right clock generator, after 20 seconds.

  • Re: Fan control that is able to overcome bios?

    Hello everyone, I hope someone will help me in my attempt.
    I have a Toshiba protege z830, and what I am trying to accomplish is to have a better control over the fan speed.
    _My motivations are the following:_
    Intel implemented a new Thermal Daemon for Linux -https://01.org/linux-thermal-daemon
    which is able to play with the processor and enable advanced cooling methods that can drastically decrease the temperature.
    This means that this daemon is able to force the processor under a certain temperature (at the expenses of the speed of course).
    In my tests I was able to keep the temperature below 70 degrees in any circumstances (also high cpu load!) !!
    _Here is where the problems start:_
    The BIOS of the laptop starts the fan and sets a high speed after a while that the cpu stays at that temperature (69+).
    Which means that after 2 minutes that the processor stays at 69/70 (AND DOES NOT INCREASE - due to thermal daemon), the fan kicks in at high speed
    The result is quite useless, as the temperature decreases of 2 degrees only, and the fan keeps running uselessly.
    Moreover that temperature is not harmful at all, and as soon as the CPU works less, the temperature decrease to 62!
    _This is the problem:_
    The fan does not decrease the speed (stays at HIGH SPEED) until the temperature reaches back 57/58 degrees for a certain period of time.
    Which is totally useless, as the only way to achieve that is to close all the applications and wait.
    But the temperature that I have with normal usage is around 64! (always using thermal daemon).
    So my operational ranges are between 62 and 70 degrees, which is not harmful for the cpu, and the fan should stay on at LOW speed, instead of being at HIGH speed.
    What I want to accomplish is that the fan stays at LOW speed when the temperature touches 70 degrees!
    Because when it touches 70 degrees the fan runs at HIGH speed all the time, until it goes back to 58/59 degrees, and it is very unlikely to go below 62 with normal usage.

    WHAT I TRIED:
    - I found the tool toshset ( http://schwieters.org/toshset/ ) that with the modified toshiba_acpi (in the same page) is able to control the fan!! Hurray!!
    It is possible to increase, decrease and turn the fan of. So apparently the problem seems solved.
    No! Basically the tool works only IF the fan didn't start automatically before! In fact, if the fan is started automatically by the BIOS (as described above, 70 degrees, HIGH SPEED)
    it is not possible to decrease the fan speed anymore!! the command "toshset -fan 0" will not stop or decrease the fan!!
    So, my question is, if there is the possibility to overwrite the BIOS settings of the ranges when the fan starts/stop,
    or if it is possible to have the control of the fan (with toshset) even when the bios starts it.
    WHAT ELSE I TRIED:
    - I also tried to read the DSDT table and find some values that are related to fan control, in order to modify them, but I am not experienced with that and can not find anything.
    I hope I made myself clear and someone is able to help me in some way
    Thank you in advance!
    ps. If you think this is not the right forum/section or there are other places where i can ask this question please let me know

  • Mpower Fan Control

    My cpu fans are going at 100percent @1300rpm the whole time, its driving me crazy.  Tried to set in down in control centre, no luck.  Any way I can set it down to luck 50percent?? thanx

    Im not sure phantek fans are true pwm fans, from what i heard they were 3pin with a converter that simulated the pwm signal, then again i might be wrong, as i dont own any phantek fans at all.
    Try something, drop the command center and try the bios fan control, on CPU header will be PWM control so you need 4pin pwm fan,
    Increase the min temp to 50C (this is just to have a bigger margin to lower the rpms), and put the max in 80C.  Now change the min % to 50%, and the max move it to 75%, save the setting on the bios and reboot to BIOS again see if the rpms are lower now, if they are tweak them to what your fans can tolerate or what you can tolerate on noise, i would try another boot on 37.5% if it rpms are lowering, i would try 25%, if the fans stop or dont lower just retun to the last preset you had. 
    Personally i love MSI bios fan control, but their software imo isnt that good, at least compared to what other offer, but in bios, i love msi.

  • MOVED: MSI BIOS / Command Center Z87-GD65

    This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177742.0

    In BIOS, set all the fans as "Minimum Speed" to the lowest available, and "Maximum speed" to the highest available. Then you should be able to control fans through Command Center.
    ** You cannot get fans below 20% as that could damage them, as they're constantly getting power from the motherboard. However this is possible with external fan controller (the ones that fits driver bays).

  • MSI BIOS / Command Center Z87-GD65

    Hi,
    I cannot set my fanspeeds below 50% which bugs me alot, because I´m using a Liquid Cooling System und would like to set the fans  much lower.
    CPU fans have a set range from 20%-100%.
    All of the other fan headers are 50-100.
    So is there a way to get a wider range to choose from?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards

  • MSI Command Center Bug Fix?

    So I'm running Windows 8.1, downloaded for 8.1 version 1.0.0.32 via Live Update 5.
    Anyways, every now and again I was getting the 'Base Clock Error' upon starting it, and Command Center would then restart right away.
    Other times clicking 'SysFans' to get the System Fan window, would result in a hang and CC would become unresponsive.
    I changed all the MSIxxxxxxx services via services.msc from 'manual' to 'automatic'. That seems to fixed the errors.
    But then I changed the recovery options of each service to 'restart if service fails' and now it seems CC will give the 'base clock error' every time I start Command Center.
    Going to revert changes and try it again with no recovery enabled.
    Either way, what's going on with this? How often do CC updates come out? I bought a 400$ mobo (z87 xpower) and the software is not worth it. I've even had false positives from Command Center constantly saying my Optional2 fan is at 0 rpm's (which I have it set to) but then I open the tower up and the fan is still spinning just fine and full speed.
    Thanks! I had a P7N Platinum back in the day, it was great, hoping this motherboard is just too fresh right now for proper application support!

    Just so I have this right:
    To flash beta bios>
    fat32 formatted usb stick that is dos bootable (forum tool will handle this)
    put FPT and bios file on stick
    boot to usb/dos and run command
    To reflash from bricked flash:
    change to Bios B
    turn on machine
    boot to bios (or boot to usb>dos> FPT for flash)
    change switch to Bios A
    run MFlash with good bios file (or use usb>dos>FPT)
    That sound right?
    Almost, if using the forum flash tool it is even easier.
    You just download the compressed archive from the Bios section of the forum. (The contains the bios, fpt, fparts and .bat file) Just place it on your desktop, don't decompress.
    Install the forum flash  tool (This can be done on any computer. Then start the tool and select option 1 and point the tool at the compressed archive. Then point the tool to the fat32 formatted usb stick.
    It will install all  necessary files including memtest.
    Just boot to the usb then follow the onscreen prompts.
    To repair a broken bios, you boot with the working bios until you reach the user input (bios is fully loaded)
    Then flip the switch and proceed with the flash.

  • Fan Controlling Software Issues with K8N-Neo4-F

    My mobo is a K8N Neo4-F 3.0.
    1. Is there anyway to control the Northbridge and System fan using Speedfan? I searched so far without any solutions.
    2. I tried MSI Corecenter for a while (the last version), and it triggers the alarms and atempts to shut down the system without any visible reason everytime the PC comes backs from hibernation. I have the latest BIOS and latest drivers on my PC. What could be wrong?

    It could be the sensor is bad on the system fan or the header itself. Is it possible for the wire from the NBFAN1 to reach the CPUFAN1 and the wire from the CPUFAN1 to reach the NBFAN1?  That way we could test to see if it's the fan or MOBO header? I'm not sure this is possible, but it occurred to me as a test.  According to the manual, both headers have the same configuration and 12V feed. I think the amp specs are the same for both headers(someone that is better with electronics should speak up here). Make sure you have the CPU fan set to 100% or whatever as I'm not sure if the NB fan can or should be speed adjusted.
    According to page 2-16 of your manual, it only mentions control of the CPUFAN1 header:
    Quote
    Fan Power Connectors: CPUFAN1 / SFAN1 / SFAN2 / NBFAN1
    The CPUFAN1 (processor fan), SFAN1 (system fan 1), SFAN2 (system fan 2) and
    NBFAN1 (NorthBridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports
    three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take
    note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black
    wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System
    Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with
    speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.
    MSI Reminds You...
    1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.
    2. CPUFAN1 supports fan control. You can install Core Center utility
    that will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to
    the actual CPU temperature.
    3. Please refer to the recommended CPU fans at AMD® official
    website.
    But, In addition to finding out about this issue, I can't stress enough about getting a better PSU.

  • Z87 MPower sys_fan / Command Center

    I'm looking to run a few non PWM fans off the mobo to save using a fan controller and use software for adjusting fan curves. (power from 4-pin molex->psu)
    I'm fairly certain if i connect them to the CPU_FAN they'll run at full pelt permanently. Will i have have voltage control on the sys_fan and be able to control them using the command centre?
    Slightly o/t, in command centre if i save a profile for the cpu_fan's and try loading it on start up it always fails to load. Any idea why? Sys_fan i need to load every time i open command center which works but is starting to get annoying.

    Oh well got a answer back from msi not what i wanted to here.lol
    Dear sir/madam
    Thanks for contacting MSI technical support.
    Regarding your concern,the WIFI in motherboard is not suit for mobile control,like Mobile Phone.only the motherboard supports WIFI.
    Thanks for your cooperation in advance!
    Best Regards,
    MSI Technical Support Team
    I thought on a overclocking board a feature to remotly monitor temps would be a bonus the feature is available on the msi Z87I a £100 motherboard,Bit gutted this was another feature why i went for this board that and the virtual mvp which is not that good lol wish i went for the asus deluxe:))

  • Z87 Mpower fan control

    I have two Corsair SP120 with PWM connector, both connected to CPU fan 1 and 2 on the MB. Recently I noticed in the BIOS (hardware monitor) section, if I set the fan to smart control, max value will only go up to 85% in the bar and not 100%. When I boot into windows and open up Command Center, I have to change it everytime so the max speed is 100%. Same goes for system fan 1 which powers my AIO water pump, it will default to 80% even though I have set to 100% in the BIOS. Has anyone else seen this before? I remember seeing 100% before in the BIOS so I am not sure what's changed now. Does Command Center override the BIOS fan setting or the other way around? Anyway I can save my preference setting in Command center so PWM fan can ram up to 100% (not 85% max) as CPU temp hits 70? I just don't want to have to start up Command center everytime to change it when I start up Windows. thanks

    1 Amp is the a total for all fan connectors or for each power connector? Just to know if i can connect other fans (in addition to the two noctua) or i must connect them to a molex connector.
