Fan Speed will not adjust/Too Noisy

I just installed my new MSI R6670 card. This card was reviewed as being very quiet but I immediately thought just the opposite. It sounds like the fans are running at 100% all the time overwhelming the sound of all other fans in my system.
The CD came with AMD's 8.84 driver so instead I went ahead and downloaded the latest 11.6 and included catalyst control center. CCC acted like it was adjusting the fan speed but there was no change in sound - like the fans were still running at full speed even though it said they were not. So I uninstalled CCC but left the 11.6 driver in place and installed MSI's Afterburner software. In the left hand pane it claimed the speed was set to Auto and currently at 44%. But in the hardware monitor section it lists the speed as 0% with occasional blips but mostly staying at zero. Turning off auto control and dragging the fan speed slider all the way to the slow side and clicking "apply" seems to have no impact on the sound and the hardware monitor keeps reading zero. Its showing the temperature at a steady 39 which doesn't seem excessive. Its looking to me like the software may not be able to monitor the fan speed so its just staying at 100% all the time.
Please help! I bought this card because the Radeon 6670 was supposed to be the most powerful card that would run without its own PCIe power cable and also because the reviews said it was very quiet. Right now it is anything but quiet!

I just pulled the card and disconnected the wire. They are definitely 4 wire fans. FYI Afterburner is crap as far as telling you what the fan speed is. When I put the card back in I left the wire disconnected and briefly started the system with the card running fanless. Afterburner still showed the fan speed as whatever the it was SUPPOSED to be running and showed the speed increasing with temperature, even though the actual fan speed was zero. So their software isn't even actually monitoring the speed. It is just telling you what the fan speed should be not what it is. Going through the threads on this forum, I'm seeing several others with different models of MSI cards having this same problem.

CPU heats up on file copy/backup and fan speed does not increase

Hi Friends,
I have been having issues with fan in my Dell Studio 1555. It has an ATI Radeon card and I had installed the proprietary catalyst driver as the open source driver is too noisy.
Recently, I noticed that on accessing my hard disk and copy files or running backup (luckybackup), the temperature shoots up from around 60 deg C (just using chrome) to 100 deg C when it would shut down itself. However, it seems like the fan speed does not increase with the increase in temperature to help it cool down.
I tried to get the fan speed details with "lm-sensors" but it would not show the fan speed. Here is the output of sensors:
[user@domain]$ sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +60.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp2: +59.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
temp3: +66.0°C (crit = +100.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +58.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +58.0°C (high = +105.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Following the Arch wiki, I added acpi_enforce_resources=lax to kernel parameters but it did not help as well.
Here is the main problem:
1. CPU temperature shoots on accessing hard drive but fan speed does not increase - Any guide/direction to investigate would be really helpful.
2. Sensors does not show the fan speed. Read about i8kutils, but couldn't figure out how to get it working with systemd. Any indicators here?

Im having similar issue on a vostro 1710, fan never works... :-/
The fan was bad. I had to replace the fan. However, I have not been able to figure out how to see fan speed in sensors.

MB990 and SL - Fan speed is not increasing automatically

Hi Guys,
Two days ago I changed my macbook's hard drive to a bigger one and did a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
As soon as I installed the SL I noticed my computer was running hotter than the previous installation. Without doing anything, my macbook is reaching 75C (167F).. I have already checked the activity monitor and no process is using the CPU. Now I realized that the fan speed is not increasing automatically, it is always fixed at 2000rpm even if the temperature reaches 72C.. I have already tried a SMC reset but the problem persists..
Does anyone know a solution for this? The problem is the fan speed that is not increasing..
I'm having to use smcFanControl to control de fan speed manually. Before the fresh install I was using Snow Leopard updated from the Leopard and I was not facing this problem.
Thanks a lot!

Hi there... i have the same problem. my temperature gets up to 75C with just one window open in safari or google chrome. I have downloaded smc Fancontrol but ...its not enough. have u solved this problem yet? i'm going in to the Genius Bar tomorrow to see if they can help.

My iPhone 4s will not adjust the potrait orientation

Hi,
My phone will not adjust the potrait orientation. It currently will just stay on vertical(potrait) and not move to horizontal(landscape). I also have the latest iphone update 7.0.3. Does anyone know if this is a bug or not? Or if there is an issue with my settings.
Thank You

nevermind already figured it out. If you go to you control center by swiping up on the home screen at the top right button you can lock/unlock the potrait orientation.

CPU Fan Speed: How to Adjust?

Hello,
My 975X has what I believe is an issue with the SATA controller, which prevented reliable SATA (hard drive) operation. I went to the local Fry's and replaced it with an ASUS P5Q-Deluxe. One thing noticed is that ASUS has a software utility (AI Suite) to control CPU fan speed. On my 975X, the CPU fan ran "full out". When I looked I didn't see a utility to reduce fan speed: Fuzzy Logic and Corecell didn't seem to adjust the fan speed, but could monitor it. Was there a utility to the control the CPU fan speed that I overlooked? If so..too bad..I could've had quieter operation. If not, then I presume MSI motherboards now have a utility to adjust the fan speed so that it scales with CPU temperature, and thus reducing noise? I'd like to know as I'm sure I will buy another MSI motherboard at somepoint. Thx.
Scott

You replaced it? Or do you still have one?
I still have it, but the SATA controller needs to be repaired; new disks, cables, OS installs, and power supply failed to fix the problem so has to be MB. While I can RMA the board, it is about 3 yrs old so MSI wants $35; not sure it is worth it. Comments?
Generally I've been happy with MSI as I've used their boards for 6+ yrs, but I also really like my ASUS boards.

High fan speed (but not 100%) following hard drive upgrade

Hi,
I recently upgraded the hard drive on my 2007 Mac Mini to a 320Gb Western Digital Scorpio Black. Since then, the computer's fan has been very annoying. The fan is not running at 100% all the time, but it ramps up very quickly when the computer is under the lightest of loads. Simply scrolling a webpage will send the fan speed up to around 4500 - 5000 rpm.
My first instinct was that the 7200 rpm drive was creating too much heat, but the temperatures are all fine with the hard drive around 30 - 35 degrees C and the CPU around 35 - 40 degrees C, at a fan speed of 1500 rpm. The temperatures drop down to the 20s when the fan ramps up.
The problem is as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
"The computer's fans run at high speed although the computer is not experiencing heavy usage and is properly ventilated."
I've followed the reset SMC procedure several times and yet the problem persists. Can anyone help me to solve this problem? Given the low hard drive temperatures and the fact that the fan is spinning up without disk activity, I'm hoping the drive isn't to blame. I'm getting fairly experienced at working inside the mini, having done three memory upgrades and two hard drive changes, but I would still like to avoid opening it and changing the disk again.
Thanks,
David.

Same thing happened to me. Upgraded HD and RAM, fan spins up at a mere scroll of a web page.
I checked the usual suspects -- vents, foam "T", physical placement, cables back in place.
Also, I went back to the original equipment and found it still "wound up" quickly.
Another data point -- when the fan is accelerating and when at speed, the air coming out of the vents is not very warm. Windows laptops I use discharge very warm air when the fans spin up. Could the calibration of the CPU temp guage be off?

Fan speed does not change

Here's my problem. I'm using a P4 2.6C (stock HSF) on a MSI 648F neo motherboard and the cpu fan's speed stays at a constant 3125 rpm (max?) even when the system and cpu temps changes (idle & load). I'm using BIOS to monitor my hardware. Intel says that their stock fan has an internal sensor so that the fan's speed can vary depending on cpu and system temps. Speedfan also dosen't change the fan's speed even when I think I configured the right settings. Only corecenter when started (auto mode) was able to vary the fan's speed based on
the temp readings. What's wrong?

Just installed speedfan. You need to adjust the desired cpu and system temp. If you set the fan speed automatically, it will automatically adjust depending on your desired temps. To test this, try making your desired temp to 60C and then see how the fan speed adjust automatically. You can see the fan speed go below 100%.
I had the same problem a while ago, Artic's solution worked for me.

T430s fan noise and fan speed monitor not working?

Hi, I just bought this T430s from the outlet store. I noticed a rather loud fan noise and found out s lot of compalints about the T430 model. I guess the problem I have is not as severe as those T430 users (e.g. the noise may not be as loud), but I still want to monitor the fan speed. Here's my problem:
1. none of the third party software can show fan speed, they can only show the cpu temperature, such as speedfan and aida64.
2. I tried to download the fanspeedcontrol driver from lenovo, but after installing it, the task manager does not show that the fanspeedcontrol exe. is working.
I do not want to change the fan speed, but just want to monitor the speed so that I can have a better understanding of whats going on. Does anyone have the similar problem?
Thanks.

Hi Alan, (I know this conversation was from several months back),
I don't know the answer to your questions. It seems that your fan is operational, as far as its most basic functional requirement.
I don't have experience with any particular software programs or widgets that indicate fan speed, sorry.
Do you have any view, through software, of the CPU (and GPU?) sensed temperature? Those would be very good data to observe.
If it were either disconnected or non-functional, I assume that your computer would report a POST error right after power-on (and self test).
But I just wanted to suggest here that in an unfortunate possible scenario, consider if the thermal grease on the heat sink(s) was inadequate (or was missing), then the fan would be running higher than normal (probably always spinning at a high rate), and it won't be taking enough heat away from the processor(s), i.e. inadequate cooling.
Which could be corrected by a technician (or DIY). This is pure speculation, it is not a definite, at all.

Z87-GD65 CPU Fan speed control not working

As per the title, the fan speeds set from either the BIOS (E7845IMS.1B0) itself or from within Command Center don't make any difference to the sped of the fans on the CPU cooler.
The cooler is a Noctua NH-D14 with stock fans (non PWM)
Can anyone help?
I'm not sure if I've missed a BIOS option anywhere!

he cooler is a Noctua NH-D14 with stock fans (non PWM)
However, I removed the fans from the CPU headers and put them on system fan header, now the fan controls work - looks like the mobo is faulty :(
Not gonna RMA it though, it's pretty trivial
It's not faulty at all.
The CPU fan header is PWM only!
The obsolete Voltage Control method is not recommended for CPUs.
It's a recipe for failures.
All the modern motherboards require PWM control for the CPU fan.
So you should replace the CPU fan with a PWM one.

Imovie 11 will not adjust volume of music track

So I put together a skit with background music and laugh tracks. I shared a copy with a friend and he told me when he played it the volume of the background music and laugh track were too high. I went back in and tried to adjust and even though I turned everything down (even to 0%) they still play at the same volume. I have now removed all but the video clips. I removed any ducking and reverted back to the original settings.
Can anyone give me advice on how to make the adjustments?

I think I found my answer.. I searched the internet looking for information on this issue.. and apparently, you are not supposed to drag music to the timeline. You only drag it to the background... an unexpected software change that renders all of the previous work on my movies invalid. I am going to have to go back into all of them and re-do my music.
Sound effects (.CAF files) work on the timeline.
Now.. I have another issue....
My stills in the movie are locking it up...
I have found clues that I have not yet investigated. It appears that you have to use iPhoto to organize your stills before you import them. We shall see if this works.
As for versions...
Identifier: com.apple.iTunes
Version: 10.1 (10.1)
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
And I have tried various music formats .mp3, .m4a, .acc and .m4p..
Few of these songs are iTunes purchases. Many are direct imports from my CD collection.. Some are downloads from other sources...
None of them will play when pasted to the timeline.

IMac G5 boots to grey apple, fans speed up,, not able to use

i have a 20in 2.0 iMac G5 that wont boot past the grey apple. ive removed the power cable made sure that the cables are making clear connection, power is going through the supple, otherwise it would not boot at all. after the boot up, the fans start spinning rapidly and it stays there, till i hard power it off. any suggestions?

I assume that we are talking about a "G5 PPC 20inch iMac" even thought your profile reflects a "20" Intel iMac" which is completely different.
Couple things that you could try here:
1. Boot into Safe mode and see if it will boot into the desktop, then run Disk Utilities, Such as "Repair Disk".
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455
2. You could try resetting the iMac SMU:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1767
3. Boot into the install DVD that came with your iMac unless you have upgraded the OS and in that case boot from that install DVD. Then you can run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions" from disk utility on the install DVD.
To obot from DVD:
Put the DVD into drive, then power-off Mac.
Power-on Mac and immediately press and hold the "c-key" until you get the language screen.
Select your language then continue.
On the Welcome screen, go to the tool bar on top and select the Utilities drop down then select Disk Utilities.
Run "Repair Disk" and "Repair Permissions" on internal OSX drive.

MacBook display brightness will not adjust

My MacBook display brightness is very low level, the F1 and F2 brightness keys bring up the transparent window and show brightness turned all the way down, but F2 does not increase the brightness. In Preferences, the display section shows the Brightness slider all the way to the top, and if I attempt to slide that down it snaps back to the top, and the actual screen brightness does not change from very low. I also have verified that the function keys are NOT set to lock out the brightness function, so pressing command and F1/F2 does nothing. So nothing from previous forums seems to apply! All other function keys operate properly (multi-window, volume, dashboard).

OK guys, think I found a solution to this one.
My girlfriend's mac had the same problem as yours, and I was motivated to fix it becuase I needed to use my mac for my dissertation and she kept stealing it!
anyway, turn the brightness all the way down, press it up once and you will see the screen flash. do it again, really fast up and down up and down and the scree will stay on as long as you keep playing with the buttons.
next, use this temporary fix to get into system preferences -> displays... and change the resolution to something considerably lower. then it stays on permanently. Not too sure about why this happens, maybe the mac can no longer handle that many colours or complexities?
sod it. enjoy.

Video Scopes will not adjust

I did a search so if you have a link to answer this I'd love it. During capture, I want to use the FCP Video Scopes. I can get the waveform monitor and vectorscope to pop up and they show the info but I cannot adjust them. In clip settings, video, the adjustment sliders are not active, they are grey. Help?

I can get the waveform monitor and vectorscope to pop up and they show the info but I cannot adjust them. In clip settings, video, the adjustment sliders are not active, they are grey. Help? < </div>
The availability of these adjustment sliders is clearly explained in the manual. They are not active on digital transfers because DV files are merely being copied from one place to another, they are not processed.
Reading down the thread to where you finally get around to supplying the information we need to help you, your BetaSP has a built-in time base corrector that should have a remote panel on it for controlling the proc amp functions. If it does not, you got ripped off. If you do not know how to operate the proc amp, you will need the Sony's manual.
Unless your BetaSP is really a digiBeta, you will need conventional waveform and vector displays between the deck's analog output and your capture system to accurately portray the effects of any adjustments you make to phase, pedestal, luma, and chroma.
