Re: MSI G43-Z97 - fan control issue + BIOS

Well,
this is not a helpful answer and more like "don't care".
This doesn't to be normal or wanted I think, when I didn't had this issues with the Z77A-G43 (which I think is a previous version of the MB). Also I cannot change the Fanspeed in Speedfan l...

MSI P67A-G43 b3 Fan Control ?

http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G43--B3-.html#/?div=Detail
my board has - CPU x 1 / System x 4 FAN connectors
I have a CPU fan and 3 system fans connected. CPU fan is plugged into the CPU fan I/O
the 3 system, fans are plugged into #1, #2 and #3 fan ports.
so here is my dilemma. For some reason only my CPU fan and fan 1 and fan 2 or recognized. I can adjust their fan speed as i need to with no problems.
But anything i plug into port #3 or #4 is not recognized for fan control. I have swapped out which fans are plugged into all 4 system fan ports but they dont show up as even being installed when i plug them into #3 or #4. any fan i plug into the 1 or 2 spot is seen and can have speed adjusted.
Anyone know what may be causing this?

There is no monitoring or control for those fan headers, its just a power header. Most MBs only allow control for CPU and Sys #1 and # 2 at most.
If you wish to control more fans, you will need an aftermarket fan controller.

MSI Z77 mpower fan controll

MB: MSI Z77 MPower
In bios the auto option is avaliable only for CPUFAN and SYSFAN1 SYSFAN2. At the same time in ControlCenter it is possible to enable System Smart fan controll for each fan.
Is there any way to save selected options in Controll Center and automaticly apply them on sturtup?

Hi
CC shows very first settings taken from BIOS. So whatever its set in BIOS, CC will show this by default. And sadly cannot be changed to be applied differently. Yet you can change settings in BIOS and you should not need to use CC for fan control.

Since BIOS V3.3 Speedfan (V 4.20) is not able to reduce the rpm of the CPU-Fan (of course connected to CFAN1). Before flashing BIOS 3.2, it worked well (CPU < 40°C = Fan spins with 60%). After flashing BIOS 3.3 (because it resolves the problem with USB legacy and WindowsXP), Speedfan (and Corecenter) do not reduce die fan power. If i stay a while in the BIOS, i can hear, how the fan runs lower and lower. But under windows the fan runs on full power.
I have this problem too.
I don't have ability to change speed fan for CPU, and then I have 60 degrees on full load.
When I setup in CoreCenter utility to user mode and fan to high speed, as if by miracle on cpu fan speed change from 1600 to 2400,
but now it's on 1600 again and setup in core center dont't make any change on speed fan.
Is it OK in bios 3.2 ? with setup speed on cpu ?

P45 Platinum fan control issue!

Ok i received a new MSI P45 Platinum board after my last one gave me nothing but problems and fried one of my Radeon Crossfire cards
Anyway the new one seems to be fine except one of my case fans seems sounds like it's spinning at full speed! I have case fans plugged into headers 1, 2 and 3 on the board and fans 1 and 2 can be controlled via the bios whilst fan 3 cannot! HWMonitor reports the correct fan speeds for 1 and 2 (running at 75%) and it tells me fan 3 is running at 50% but it's actually running faster and louder than the other 2!! With my old (faulty) P45 Platinum board the 3rd fan was quiet, but now it's very loud and i don't know why? I have the latest 1.6 bios installed as i did on my old board.
Can anyone explain what is happening? Cheers

I installed the latest MSI Dual Core center and now it's telling me system fan 2 RPM is too low! (keeps flashing)
CPU Fan = around 1700 rpm
SYS Fan 1 = around 1200 rpm (set to 75% in bios)
SYS Fan 2 = around 700 rpm (set to 75% in bios)
I'm not happy with this board... My last P45 Platinum had memory/CPU/PCI-E voltage issues but the fan speeds were perfect! And now this replacement motherboard has ok voltages but the fan speeds are screwed! Both boards are the same revision using the same bios and had the same system config.
HWMonitor is still reporting fan 3 at 50% although it's literally screaming! Can someone please give me any suggestions as to whats wrong? Also does anyone have the latest beta bios (v1.7b10 i think). Cheers

Overheating / Fan control issue on Gt735 / Ms-1721 in Vista/Windows 7

Dear all,
I have a 2 month old MSI GT735 /Ms-1721 running windows 7.
Whatever the modus eco/turbo i am in, whatever it is i am doing office applications or gaming, the system will not regulate my fan speeds and therefore the system overheats measuring up to 97 degrees Celsius (hwmonitor.exe).
The fan stays at the normal speed (guessing around of 30% of what it is capable of), there is barely any airflow coming out of the air slots where the fan is located.
This problem is present with windows vista and windows 7.
I tried SCM , core centre, speedfan and a few other applications, none of them can regulate the fan speed.
The bios (latest version according to live update and the HQ Forum flash utility) doesn't show any options either.
I had the issue with windows vista and windows 7 alike.
All the parts in the laptop are original, it has not been overclocked. The different windows powe modus energy saver, balanced, high performance do not make a difference.
How can i regulate the fan speed on this laptop?
Property Value
Model MS-1721 / GT735
CPU Name AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82
Memory 4096 MBytes
Bios: GT735, BIOS Version: A1721AMS Ver1.0O
------------

Unfortunately, it appears that I'm not as lucky as haraldstoll is.
I had 1.0P version flashed and the fan was slow, which resulted to 90%-time-slow/10%-time-fast FPS in CPU-intensive games.
Then I flashed 1.0U (using the MSIHQ utility) and apparently the system stopped clocking down the CPU, as it started shutting down due to overheat.
From bad to worse.
This is Windows 7 on MSI GT 735.
Why isn't there an utility to control fan speed manually? Would've helped the unlucky ones among us immensely...
I would recomand you DO NOT UPDATE TO A1721AMS V1.0V. I did that because the msi service told me it would fix all my problems. Yes the fan work BUT THE TEMP. of the cpu is wrong. I did i clean instal because i thought some programs could fail buy no. After the clean instal everest and speedfan told me my notebook is 90 degree idle. I can feel that it is not more then 40-50 but when i go to youtube it will go to 115 degree and the cpu wil lock itself for a minute. -.- this sucks. Already told them this and i hope they will tell me what to do because this is sick.
EDIT: i'm on a legit windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
Hello,
ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
Tech specs:
MB: z87-pro
CPU: i7-4770K
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
OS: Win7 x64 SP1
latest OS updates
latest nVidia drivers
I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
I've attached my GPU Bios.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
What did the BSOD say? Error code?
Heya, thanks for the reply.
That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

T440s Fan Control Issue

Hi,
The fan on my T440s will turn on when the CPU (i5 4300U) exceeds a certain temperature, around 50c. However once the fan starts turning, it will never stop turning regardless of the CPU temperature and utilisation. The CPU idles around 33c.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi den
One thing that changed in the new models is the HD sensor, on earlier models Apple had an external temp sensor +(pictured below)+ stuck on there HD's and in the latest models the sensor is built into the drive by the manufacture.
Earlier model HD sensor
I also think that because they are replacing so many without question, that they either have no clue or know there is a problem with some of the HD sensors, the SMC modules or cables.
Long shot, if the event in question is happening weekly on saturday morning +(by default the weekly maintenance script runs at 3am saturday or the next time the iMac is woke and available)+, you might try forcing the Weekly Maintenance Script using OnyX or the Terminal as a test to see if that sets it off.

T420s Fan noise Issue

Hi JameZ, I just PMed you with the requested information. I didn't figure out what "MTM" is.
Thanks for the support.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I found a temporary fix for our hair dryer issue.  There's a German guy who calls himself "troubadix" (the bard in Asterix) who developed an application to adjust the fan speed on ThinkPads. The application is called TPFancontrol. It's latest version is 0.62 and is set up for his T60.  The latest version can be found at troubadix page from uni-marburg right here.  Donations are welcome to him.  Discussion threads are here and here.  And below are the settings I use in the TPFancontrol.ini file to run my ThinkPad T420s quietly when on the go (passive until 50°C). When docked in the Advanced mini 3 plus docking station and using two external monitors (1920x1200 + 1050x1680) the discrete graphics kicks in and the CPU is always near the 60°C mark. With the settings below you should be able to keep the temps around 60°C with moderate office work. The fan spins between 2900 and 3700 RPM.  Settings: //// >>>> Celsius / Fahrenheit: temperatures in °C (active) / °F <<<<
// !!! Temp of lowest Level > 79 -> switch to Fahrenheit !!! see below

K8N Neo4 Platinum - Fan control missing?

Good evening.
I've recently assembled an Athlon 64 3000 (Venice) / Neo4 Platinum system, and unfortunatly I am not able to control the speed of any fan connected to the motherboard. Also disappointing is the fact that four fans are connected, but only three show in Speedfan.
My CPU cooler is Thermaltake's Venus 12, so it's not MB-controlable.
My Enermax 120mm fan connects using the usual 3-wire connection, and has an RPM knob integrated. It doesn't seem to respond to Speedfan no matter what the state of the knob is.
Last but not least is the noisy chipset fan, which shows but also doesn't respond to Speedfan.
There's also a 92mm Enermax fan which is connected the same way as the 120mm one, but doesn't show.
I've only found two BIOS settings that were said to be relevant - Cool'n'Quiet and CPU Fan Target. Both had no effect. I did no find a NB Fan Target setting that some people reported having.
CoreCenter seems uselss. It doesn't change anything regarding the chipset fan, and I didn't find any "Temp Alarm" setting for the chipset, that was also mentioned here at some time. Tried uninstalling it as well (probably with a restart, I don't remember), but it doesn't seem to have had an impact on the fan control issue.
So essentialy, what I've got are four fans connected, three of those showing, two of these that can theoretically be adjusted through software, one that's too damn noisy at more than 7500 RPM, and zero that I can actually through software.
And no, a Zalman Fanmate is not a solution after I've invested in this top-of-the-line MB. I expect to get what I've paid for.
Is there a solution to this problem, once and for all?

To get to the CoreCenter Temp alarms, you have to expand the right 'wing' (click little arrow); but this only sets temperature below which an alarm will sound: it has no effect on fan speed itself.
But indeed, nothing on CoreCenter seems to affect NB fan.
The manual itself only mentions that CPUFAN1 supports fan control.
[Will eventually apply myself hardware solution for nb fan, either single resistor, as described elsewhere on this board, or with rheostat; if i can find a store where to buy fanmate2, that would be better (shipping/handling from net order would cost more than the darn thing!).]
@Flow: my case fan, connected to SFAN1, does show in Speedfan, even without CoreCenter lauchned (I removed it from StarUp list).
(However, i still have the AMD PowerNow! Technology Service, ie GemServ, enabled and started)

RS480M2 - Cool'n'Quiet fan control fails after hibernation

I'm using my RS480M2 as a HTPC base.
Works great (integrated s-video out is NICE!)
Cool'n'Quiet works great when the system is booted normaly but efter hibernation the fans doesn't reduse speed.
Anyone knows anything to fix this?
Maybe disable Qool'n'Quiet fan control i bios and use speedfan instead?
My current config
WinXP Pro SP2
Latest reference drivers for Chipset/Graphics from ATi
Latest reference drivers for sound and LAN from Realtek
Athlon64 3200+ (90nm winchester core)
2x512Mb twinmos DDR400 cl 2,5
60Gb 2,5" Hitachi HDD
Any Ideas?

I always use speedfan in the BIOS and leave C&Q enabled.
As C&Q does more then regulating the fan, it also regulates the speed of the CPU.
But you can remove corecenter for fancontrol and use speedfan in the BIOS.

MSI Z97-G45 Smart fan control Bios v2.0 vs Bios v2.3

Hello
I have an MSI Z97-G45 Gaming motherboard in my new setup with 4ghz i7 4790k and 16gb of ram and so on that i bought a few weeks ago. At first the motherboard had v2.0 Bios and everything worked just fine but as i like maximum compatability and other fixes i upgraded the bios to the latest one v2.3.
In my setup i use the bios smart fan control for both system and CPU fan, i set it at a curve where the fans instantly will rise the fan speed when doing tests like Prime95 and Aida64. When doing the tests the fan rised from idle 800rpm to neded fanspeed for the correct cooling for my CPU and reached maximum 1500rpm in a matter of seconds to keep the CPU cool. This worked perfectly with Bios v2.0 but after i upgraded the bios to v2.3 the smart fan control changed fanspeed extremely slowly, it took almost 50sec for the fan to speed up from 800rpm to 1500rpm when stressing the CPU at 100%. When i stoped the stress test the fans slowed down to idle 800rpm very fast with bios v2.0 but with bios 2.3 i took a looong time to slow down to idle speed again from 1500rpm.
Because of the slow changing fanspeed in bios v2.3 i downgraded to v2.0 again and then my fans works just as i want them to do.
What is the reason for this problem/change in bios v2.3 and will this be fixed in future versions? Is this a known problem with newest bios?
When people will buy this MB and it has v2.3 from factory the smart fan control will not work properly and buyers will not know how good it can acctually be. I think the Smart fan control in v2.0 is super great

then retest

Z77A-GD65 + MSI Control Center (version 2.5.053) = FAN speed control issue

OK,
I've got Z77A-GD65 board and I am using MSI Control Center (version 2.5.053). I have one fan connected to CPU fan header and another fan connected to System Fan1 header on the motherboard. The problem is that while trying to use Smart fan control in MSI Control Center (under Green Power tab) only CPU fan changes speed according to load and the one connected to System Fan1 always stays at the same "System Fan1 Min" set speed. In BIOS the system fan1 is set to auto as all other options are constant speed from 50% to 100%, both fans have 4 wires, so they can change speed. I want both fans to change speed according to CPU load. I know I can use Y (split) cable to connect both fans to the same CPU fan header but I would like to avoid this if possible.
Anybody experiencing the same thing? Issue with bios? Control center bug?

As long as the amps of the two fans doesn't exceed the limit for the CPU fan header, go ahead and use a splitter. Not positive, but believe the fan header amp limit is 1A?

MSI Z87-G43 can't control fan speed

Hi, i just bought an MSI Z87-G43 and i'm using a i5-4670 on it (yeah, 4670 without the K).
I wanted the minimum noise as possible so i bought a Noctua NH-U12P SE2
Like the pictures shows it has 2 fans.
I connected the 2 fans on cpu1 and cpu2 fan and both BIOS and Commander Center can see them correctly, but both of them can't change the rotation speed.
Those fans have a 3 pins connector.
How can i do it? Now my CPU is cool and i like it, but a little more hot for a little less noise is a good deal (and my goal!)
thank you

As alternative you can get a fan controller like Sunbeamtech Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, it should allow to use 4pin PWM singnal and convert it into voltage control,

Product Details:
Smart Way Controlling all Fans & Airflow. The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller is designed to make any existing 3-pin fan automatically regularized by the PWM signal from the Motherboard! With its ability to connect two fans to a single PWM connector at a maximum of 20W/channel, a wide selection of fans can be supported. When a normal fan is connected to the Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller, they become auto adjusting through the PWM signal.
The Rheosmart PCI Fan Controller operates in two different modes; when connected to a PWM-enabled motherboard you can allow the system to auto-adjust fan speed through he motherboard's temperature sensor. When switched onto manual mode by the pushing of the lever-switch to the right, you turn the connected fan onto manual control mode.

MSI GT70-0NC BIOS UNLOCK Request for Fan Control

Hello Svet,
I bought my GT70 0NC (Model MS-1762) in the first days of June 2012. Last year my Geforce 675 GTX died and since then it runs with onboard graphics. Since the GT70 runs without a GFX and its fan/cooler, the CPU fan is working full throttle which means it is very loud. I don't plan to buy a new MXM card since they are too expensive and I'd like to save my money for a future computer.
My point: I need unlocked controls of my BIOS to get my annoying main fan down to its actual (useful) rotation speed. As far as I read in these forums it is possible via setting it to onboard as main graphic card or something like that.
Please can you mod me a (maybe newer or newest) BIOS version for this problem? If possible I'd be glad if you leave some instructions what to avoid etc. with it.
BIOS Version: E1762IMS.108 (build date 03/29/2012)
EC Version: 1762EMS1 Ver4.05 (build date 04/03/2012)
The Notebook came with pre-installed Windows 7, but today I use Windows 8.1 on a later bought SSD (the HDD with the recovery sections was built out last year).
I hope, these changings are not a problem.
After you give your go, I will send you a Donation Confirmation Code. (In case please give me further information how much etc.)
Thanks and best regards.

yes can be done, with clarify that BIOS can't provide a FAN control [bios can't control the FAN at all]
but yes it can help your FAN to calm down to its normal operation like was originally when your nvidia card was working
