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.

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

Fan control problem on Z77A-G45 Gaming

Hi,
I've got this problem: I have Z77A-G45 gaming mobo and thermaltake water cooler (water 2.0 performer) on cpu and, by default this motherboard makes this cooler work with full 2000 rpm, but if I open the msi utility program "Control center" and go in "Green power" tab and use "CPU fan control" it makes cooler to run normally with 850 rpm. But problem is, when I turn off or restart PC, it starts again with 2000rpm and I need to open that "Control center" again and click check "Cpu fan control" to make cooler work normally. So what is solution to this problem? How to make it remember "cpu fan control" option marked? I don't want to start this application manually everytime I boot my computer.

Try entering bios and enable cpu smartfan and save on exit.

Thing is i dont know how to enable CPU fan control/regulation ifd possible. Doesn't realy see anything anything in the mobo manual except mentioning AMD Cool’n’Quiet.
This fan i have installed is running fine but i thk it runs full speed all the time and that makes a lot of noise - not needed.
Thx for any advice/tip/hint

40 °C is fine. The minimum fan speed can be set is a % of the full capacity.
Start with 12.5% and if the fan needs to adjusts it's fan speed too often and it get's annoying you can raise it to 25% or more.

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/

CPU fan speed problem -- similar to one already posted

Core i7 290
6GB SuperTalent DDR3 RAM 1333 (3x2GB)
BFG GeForce GTX 275 OC
2 120mm case fans (front/back)

MSI x58 Pro MoBo w/BIOS v.8.3
PCP&C Silencer 750 watt Power Supply
500GB Seagate Barracuda HDD
Yeah, I know that all that info probably isn't that necessary.
Problem: I have a Thermaltake cl-p0533 for my core i7 920. My fan runs 6000+ RPM all the time. I've tried using the overclock center, greenpower center, and the BIOS smart fan thing. In BIOS, I tried setting it to 25% idle and 50c target temp range. No dice. I've tried using speedfan and all that I got was the speed knocked down about 300-500rpm for a bit. My CPU idles at about 33c (according to speedfan and OC center). The CPU fan speed is supposed to be able to be controlled. The noise is really annoying. Any help would be most appreciated.

Core i7 290
First, I meant 920 (I must be dyslexic or something)
Yes, the CPU fan is connected to the CPU fan power connector (according to the mobo manual). I've set SpeedFan for the same as I had my BIOS settings. I've since changed them to lower temps. I've tried SpeedFan with and without using the SmartFan feature in the BIOS enabled. My Two case fans are super quiet, so I don't use any regulation for them. So my SpeedFan settings look like this:
Speed 1 - minimum value = 25% maximum value = 100% auto variated
Temp 1 - Desired = 42c warning = 50c
Cores 0-7 = same as Temps 1 settings
I've also disabled the other temperatures for monitoring and fan control
As for the number of wires for the cooler fan, there are 4 going to the mobo.
I don't really know much about add-on fan controller parts. If that's the route I end up needing to go, any recommendations?

Z77A-G45- CPU fan speed problem

Hi all, new to this forum and MSI Motherboards.
i have a problem with my CPU fan speed when i plug any fan and water cooler fan into the CPU 4pin they all run at 2000+ rpm, but when i use the fan 1 or fan 2 --4 pin it runs at a slower speed of 1400rpm, am i missing something in bios, i have 2.5 version of bios, would be greatfull for any help....

Should be able to adjust in the section below or with control center.

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-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.

Custom Hardware Fan Control - problem if speed pin not connected?

Hi There,
I am planing to install a hardware fan control (poti) to my MacPro 1.1 rear fan. (because I have a defective northbridge temperature sensor and the fan is running at maximum speed... so i thought of slowing it down with a fan control for the pci slots)
I read that the pinning of the Fan is: Gnd, 12V, Speed, Control Pin (analog Voltage)
So when i would attach a fan control (just a poti) between some +5v and the Control Pin I think I should be able to control the fan manualy - am i right?
But then the speed signal is not the speed the mac pro fan control software think of... so would it be a problem e.g. if i disconnect the speed pin from the mainboard fan connector?
what would happen then? is the mac pro powering up the other fans for some kind of failsafe?
Or have you other suggestions how I can lower the speed of the rear fan manually?
thanks in advance,
Stefan

Take a look at the project some have undertaken to go with water block.
Send the motherboard in to have a 'skilled' electrician? repair the board perhaps.
4 fans, 3 under the control of SMCFAnControl utility. Maybe disable the one fan and make up for it with your own fan and running the others efficiently.
There are also VGA copper coolers.
FBDIMMs bleed heat: maybe the RAM fan cooler kit in there to deal with large source of heat. New higher density DIMMs are better made and few DIMMs = less heat even if 4GB.
Use ice packs, dry ice and liquid nitrogen to super cool :-)

Dell Vostro 3560 CPU Fan Control Tips

I'm in the process of configuring my brand new Vostro 3560 and one of the things I noticed was that the CPU fan was blasting full speed all the time even when the machine was idle. After some researching I came up with the following solution using i8kmon and I'll post it here for others:
Disclaimer 1: In this configuration, you will be setting up thresholds on what fan speeds are used at a specific temperature. If you use this config, this assumes that your machine is a) reporting the correct temperature and b) the fan speed setting works for your specs. Always monitor your laptop and change the configuration if your laptop feels too hot.
Disclaimer 2: I've only had this laptop for a couple of days now, so no long-term stress testing has been performed in this configuration.
This is a link that helped me a lot. It's Ubuntu specific, so be aware of the differences: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s … ion/204193.
Please post any thoughts or feel free to correct me where applicable:
Install the following packages:
i8kmon
i8kutils
Create/modify the following config files:
/etc/modules-load.d/i8k.conf
# Load Dell Fan Speed Control (i8k) at boot
i8k
/etc/conf.d/i8kmon. Please note that there are conflicting values reported when you Google this. In my case, the following worked:
# Arguments to be passed to the i8kmon daemon
I8KMON_ARGS="--nouserconfig --daemon"
/etc/rc.conf. Add i8kmon to your DAEMONS:
DAEMONS=(hwclock ... i8kmon ...)
/etc/i8kutils/i8kmon.conf
This is the file where you set the temperature thresholds and fan speeds in the "set config" values. Your specific laptop configuration could be different, so Google around.

If you're using systemd, to run i8kmon you should edit i8kmon.service file

MSI H81M-P33 Cpu Fan Speed Problem! Urgent

Hi. Bought a H81M-P33 board and got a problem.
I can´t increase my CPU fan Speed to maxium RPM . Tried to use Command Center and Board Bios without any sucess.
This leads to my cpu (i5 4670) getting hot with stock cooler. When I´m encoding a video it reaches 85º. The best solution I had was to connect CPU Fan to Chassis Fan slot on the motherboard and it increased speed, but still it doesn´t increase past a certain value.
What can I do to solve this problem? Tried everything without any luck. The board doesn´t handle CPU fan speed + temperatura increase well. Is not normal to have a CPU stock volts getting hot.
Thanks

I know that for sure XFM. The thing is that the board isn´t increasing CPU fan speed as it should. Ofc a better cooler would do the job, but even with stock cooler it can be cooler. The problem is that the fan is always in slow mode :|

MEGA 865 Fan Control Problems using suspend/hibernate

I'm still having problems with the MEGA 865 CPU fan speed going to MAX after I come back from suspend or hibernate until a reboot of the system.
This is super annoying.
MSI tech support sent me a BIOS they thought might solve the problem... but it's OLDER than the one on the web site, PLUS it doesn't fix the problem
When will MSI look into this problem? When will a real fix be available? :(

MSI sent me an updated 1.1 BIOS which actually fixes this problem. Unfortunately when I now resume from hibernate or standby the computer is so slow I have to reboot it - sort of defeats the point don't you think!
As for a response from Tech support. Well I might aswell get some

CPU Fan Control H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard

I have assembled the following system recently:
H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard
Sandy Bridge Core i3 2120 (Retail box w/cooler)
2 x 2 GB Crucial Desktop memory
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6750 1GB
OCZ Vertex 2 60 GB
Generic Case
Windows 7 Pro
I have a couple of questions.
1/ I've installed the MSI Control Center and in the green power section I can set the CPU fan to quiet which is really quite necessary since the retail cooler at full speed is really quite noisy. What I find irritating is changes with the MSI Control Center are not persistent.
Is there any way to set the CPU fan to quiet and make the change persistent across reboots, etc...?
2/ The system goes to sleep and wakes up just fine. However - the only way to wake it up from sleep is to press the power button.
Is there a way to allow the system to wake up from sleep using the keyboard?
Any and all advice/recommendations welcome.
Thanks.

So I've been browsing the Application Guide and I came across the following passage, "Every time you shut down the system, the configured setting will be restored to the factory default. If you want to use the saved settings, you have to load it every time by clicking the “Load” button."
So that answers my question - no persistent save support. So I have a new question.
Can I launch the control center from the command line specifying a saved config file? (If yes, obviously I could create a start up item and that would be good enough)

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!....................................... ...........
