Sorry, BIOS is Rev 1.0, CPU fan RPM still wont show, on Promise SATA and I have no activity led??

Yes, everything is properly connected, CPU fan is on CFAN1 and the HDD is on the Promise and the front panel led connector is properly connected.
Anyone know what the heck is wrong?? maybe my board has LED on VIA and not Promise opposed to Promise having it and VIA not??
and why won't my bios display the damn CFAN1 RPM's??? I tried every connector also.
any help?
thank you

Ok, this is weird, the HDD led connector was connected as directed in the manual, black (ground) on pin 1 and red (+12) on pin 3, whats weird is that I flipped it upside down (red on pin 1 and black on pin 3) and now it works, that just weird but at least it works now. every other connector works when connected normally, funny that I have to flip the HDD led connector upside down haha.
Anyway, still can't figure out the CPU Fan RPM, why it displays 0 while the Fan is actually running?? I don't know why.
Have you heard of that problem??
Thanks again guys.

  • HT1305 how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    Ok, I saw that error in your logic. A Dual G5 2.3 or even a Dual Core 2.3 does NOT use LCS at all. Its air cooled and if anything if the OP is experiencing this problems could be due to possible heatsink paste drying up. He might have to re-apply MX 7 or Arctic Silver.
    The only G5's that use LCS are: G5 dual 2.5 from Late 2004, the G5 Dual 2.7 from Early 2005, and lastly the G5 Quad-Core from Late 2005-end of September 2006.
    Hope this helps.

  • MSI H97 PC Mate CPU Fan RPM Control Cruve Question

    Case Fan: Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP 69.0 CFM 120mm  Fan
    As you can see within my build list am getting Cooler Master R4-L2R-20AC-GP 120mm fans for my case (For short I'll call them R4 fans) and I would like to replace the stock fan from my Hyper T4 with an R4, because they are much quieter than the stock fan and have nearly the same airflow and since I'm getting a side window case it'd be nice to have an LED lit fan in the middle of my case
    However the R4's are 3 pin, not 4 pin so they don't have PWM control. Is there a way to set up the H97 PC Mate to control a 3 pin fan in it's 4 pin cpu header?
    I talk to MSI over the phone the guy said that it should be able to control the 3 pin fan through the cpu header via controlling the voltage. He said to look it up online to see if I could find how to do it, and to download the user manual and look through it, but I couldn't find anything on how to set up the BIOS to do that.
    If I can't I'm not even going to bother to buy a third fan.
    Ty KB_TheDireWolf

    Hi
    CPU fan headers are only able to control PWM fans(4 pins). If you lut 3 pin fan into it, it will run 100% possible speed.
    SysFan headers can control 3 pinned fans by voltage increase/decrease, between 50-100%. And PWM fans of course too will work.
    Maybe a fan splitter, or an actual fan controller would do? I have a controller myself for all 6 fans

  • CPU fan RPM much too high on startup on Z97 U3 Plus Board

    Have two Z97 U3 Plus Boards, and for some reason with same settings and same hardware and software they continue to display different bugs with both the same BIOS versions.
    On one board, cpu fan runs insanely high on power up for about 4-5 seconds before slowing down to normal.  Any idea how to resolve this?

    I wonder why the fan on the second board is so quiet at startup then.  Must be something to do with QC at intel then I guess as they are both stock fans.

  • CPU fan isn't working on Hermes 845GV full and Lite

    well
    i have here an hermes 845GV and when i switch it on, the cpu fan starts for about half an second and stops then, same problem with the lite version.
    so, can this problem be solved or do i have to send it back to msi? (both comps are new)
    thx schBORG

    it works fine, except the cpu fan isn't working, it only starts for about half a sec when u switch it on, when u connect the cable with the plug for the 2 side fans it works fine, but when the cpu fan isn't working, the cpu gets too hot and the computer crashes, and so the os installation is destroyed, that's the reason why i found that problem

  • MSI 785GTM-E45 BIOS CPU fan voltage control

    Hello MSI gurus,
    I've replaced the MB in an older HP media center with the MSI 785GTM-E45 running BIOS V8.8 out of the box.
    CPU = Athlon 64 X2 4200+
    My problem is the stock CPU fan has a 3 pin connection (voltage controlled) and is running at 100% speed all the time.  From what I've read on the forums there are a number of people that have this issue (with other MBs with 4 pin cpu fan headers) and don't want to switch to a 4 pin CPU fan (PWM controlled).  I am in the same situation.
    I am hoping that there is a BIOS for this board that has an option to switch to or enable voltage control on the CPU fan header.
    I have tried enabling the CPU smart fan target but no matter what settings I chose the fan remains at 100%.  The H/W monitor of the MB indicates a CPU temperature (33C) well below the target (tried all options from 40C to 60C in 5C increments). 
    I have tried MSI's dual core center and it had no effect on the fan speed.
    I have tried the 3rd party freeware SpeedFan and if had no effect on the fan speed.
    I am not able to check if I have the latest BIOS or even find changelogs for existing BIOS verions because MSI seems to only direct BIOS downloads for this product to the Live update application.  I have installed the live update program and it indicated V8.8 was the most recent veriosn of the BIOS for this board, although I have seen posts indicating the Live Update application is not to be trusted.
    Dual core center, SpeedFan, and Live Update have all now been uninstalled.
    I know the fan I'm using will change speed because I can connect a 3 pin fan controller and manually dial down the speed.
    I know the BIOS can read the fan speed becase it correctly shows the RPM changes when I use the hardware fan controller.
    Can anyone direct me to a BIOS version for this board (or some secret keystroke) that enables automated 3 pin voltage control on the CPU fan header?
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    For those who are interested I received the following answer from MSI technical support.  Personally I find this to be a flaw in this board's design.  I chose this MB to replace a dead MB in a HP media center for a friend.  If I was buying this board for myself I likely would be using it as a HTPC because of the mATX form factor, HDMI on board, and backward compatibility for CPUs.  However, due to the added cost of purchasing a new heat sink and fan I would be RMAing if I had bought it for myself.  Considering many of the top performing after market coolers still come with a 3 pin fan it was a poor decision for MSI to not include support for automatic speed control of a 3 pin voltage controlled fan.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    Thanks for contacting msi technical support team!
    We are sorry that because of the circuit designs,we could not add cpu smart function for 3 pin's connector fan in the BIOS. The difference between 3pins and 4pins is that the second has a temperature controller but the first does not.We would suggest you utilize a 4-pin CPU Fan in order to control the CPU Fan speed.
    Sorry for any inconvenience caused you!

  • Fan RPM's read 0 in BIOS no matter where I plug the CPU fan, but it registers in Core Center???

    Hey,
    I used to have BIOS Rev 1.0, updated to 1.2 thinking it would fix the problem about the Fan RPM's not registering, meaning they show 0 in the BIOS, but it didn't fix it, but it registers normally in Core Center in Windows XP Pro.
    What the heck is the problem?? are any other poeple getting this problem?, everything is correctly connected and operates correctly.
    Specs are in my signature.
    Thank you,

    I have the same problem.  Don't worry too much about it.  Most BIOS' won't recognize a CPU fan below a certain threshold, and the Thermaltake Silent Boost's stock fan probably fits into that category.

  • I want to quiet down a P4 1.6A CPU fan and Sparkle PSU

    Hi,
    I want to quiet down my P4 1.6A CPU fan and PSU fan....
    A) I have a MSI 845G-MAX-L motherboard with Winbond monitoring chip. I notice that the CPU fan RPM goes up when temperature goes up. Is this normal on all boards, or is this an extra nice feature specific to MSI boards with Winbond chip???
    B) I've already put a FanMate to the CPU fan, and it runs at 1500 RPM, but I can still hear it.... so now I have a Zalman fan bracket (FB123) and am searching for a 80MM which has RPM sensoring, to give me some feedback in the BIOS and MBM5. Any suggestions on a quiet 80MM which has RPM sensoring.... (I've tried Coolermaster and Vantec.. they are both noisy to me.... I tried Panaflo but I want the RPM sensor so I can tell if the Winbond chip is doing it's job of speeding up the fan when the CPU temp goes up....
    C) I have a Sparkle 300W-BTV PSU. Does Sparkle solder on the PSU fan tail to the pcb or do they use some pin header?? I'll probably replace the PSU fan with Panaflo. Also does Sparkle use a thermistor to control fan speed or is it just one speed? I can use the Coolermaster DAF-B82 which is quiet at startup (1000 rpm) at 20 C.
    D) I am thinking about getting the OCZ P4 eliminator passive heatsink.... anyone using it or seen a review of it? Can the Alpha 8942 run in passive mode with no CPU fan? I only have the Sparkle PSU fan as the exhaust fan in my Coolermaster ATCS-200 aluminum case.
    Thanks.....

    My CPU runs at 37 C at idle and the CPU fan is at 2400 RPM.  When running loaded (at 100% utilization after 1 hour) my CPU temp runs at 41 C and the CPU fan is at 2800 RPM.   During the summer when ambient temps were very high I've seen my CPU temps at 43 C and CPU fan speed at 3000 RPM.
    I read a little on the Intel Precision Cooling Technology.  I believe that the Intel Precision Cooling is capable of adjusting the SYSTEM case fans (along with the CPU fan).   It seems that Intel went one step further by adding in SYSTEM fans and then adding in the ability for the user to control both the CPU fan and SYSTEM fans based on temperature.
    What I'm wondering is if all or most P4 motherboards adjust  the CPU fan speed based on CPU temp (in real time), or is this just something new that MSI did in their later boards like my 845G MAX?  Anyone have other P4 MB (other than the obvious ones by Asus and the ones which have the Intel Precision Cooling) who can comment?

  • CPU fans not working

    My system just turns on and off no post. I reset cmos for ha has and same.
    I switch the cpu fan to sys fan connector next to the cpu 4 pinconnector  and the fan spins but no post.
    CPU 1 and 2 connector, no power to fan, both fans work on sys connector.
    switch back to original 650 watt P/S,  same results, CPU fans do not spin, system does not post.
    Just quick startup and shut down.
    I'm thinking the board is faulty.
    I have the latest bios version, the computer was working fine last night gaming.

    yes I sent the whole system in.
    I did run bench on the cpu the last night.
    In windows 8.1 there in the app area had system test and tested memory, cpu,hard drives
    and got good scores. the next morning was another story.
    I don't know if that was the reason, you would think it would of froze up before damaging it.
    who knows what went bad, New problem to me and I have seen allot.
    before sending the system back I had to try and bring it back to store bought condition f , my videocard was flashed so I had to reflash back to UFI, that was a trick, but I did it and sent it all back yesterday.you know me the system was upgraded, P/S , fans
    Just wanted to mention that when I spoke to support at CyberPower he asked why I had used the sys fan connection rather the doogle power feed I said I liked the way the motherboard controlled the fan and in Control Center showed fans normally running at 50%. He said no they run 100% all the time. I don't think he knows what he is talking about cause I could speed the fans up in Control Cente.r  The fans were running around 600 rpm (50%), not full speed. Anyway they set the systems up not using the motherboards sys feeds so I returned it that way and tested one last time and did the same on off.
    So the system fan conections were fine it is the CPU fans that didn't work in either cpu1 and cpu2 connection. I had and in and out fan running but systen came with only one fan and had had upgraded to 2
    Cougar CF-V12HP  EP fans. They worked fine and kept the cpu cool. maybe the board couldn't supply long term.

  • IMac i7 - Strange CPU-fan problem!

    Hi,
    my name is Chris and I'm living in Germany. Sorry for my pigeon english, I'm not very good in languages... Nevertheless I will try to describe my problem.
    I have received my iMac last saturday. It's an i7 with 2TB hard drive. On sunday suddenly the CPU-fan went nuts, spinning with about 3500 rpm. At that time there was no heavy CPU load at all.
    Neither P-RAM- nor SMC-resets fixed the problem, the CPU-fan was running at full speed all the time. On monday morning (the i7 was switched during the night), the problem was still persisting. Hence, I contacted Apple and they promised to send me a replacement for the i7 in about three weeks.
    Later on this monday, I received a package with additional 4GB of memory I had ordered for the iMac. Although the iMac was making noise comparable to a 747, I decided to build in the additional 4GB of RAM, just to play a bit around with an "8GB machine". The assembly of the additional memory was pretty easy, basically everything was working fine (memory wise). But the CPU-fan was still continuously at around 3500 rpm.
    Afterwards, I decided to clean up the computer a bit by using the "automatic" script within "Onyx". I started the procedure and left the room.
    When I came back about 1 hour later, there was total silence in the room. In first instance I wasn't surprised very much, because the iMac was obviously in the sleep mode. But I was really surprised when I woke it up again: The CPU- fan was back to normal, spinning with 940rpm. Almost completely silent.
    Any ideas what happened? Can there be a connection between the "fan-went-nuts-issue" and the Onyx scripts?
    What shall I do? My iMac is behaving now, but I have already ordered replacement...
    Best wishes,
    Chris

    Yes, I have seen this thread, thank you.
    When the CPU-fan started to spin at 3800, one of the first thing I tried was putting the iMac into the sleep mode. After I had done so, I woke it up back again almost immediately (about 1 minute later) by pressing the space bar. But for some reason, the iMac woke (with normal fan noise) and then immediately fall back into sleep (after being about 10 seconds awake). A "proper wake up" was not possible, since it was sort of an infinitely loop of waking up and falling asleep. A reboot via the power button was necessary, whereby the fan went back to 3800 rpm.
    And then I performed this Onyx-run (as mentioned in my first post), and afterwards the iMac went to sleep mode automatically. It stayed in the sleep mode for about an hour or so, and after my next wake up call it was cured.
    Really strange. Either it was cured by the maintenance-things Onyx did to the cache/system files, or by being in the sleep mode for about one hour. I also can't exclude influence of our Lord, since I was behaving in the last year...
    Somehow I have lost my trust in that machine. Even after the fan went back to normal behavior I am still not sure if I should cancel the replacement order... I am open for recommendations from your side.
    Best wishes,
    Chris

  • 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.

  • 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 :|

  • Is My CPU Fan dying?

    Recently installed new MOBO (see below) and CPU (see below). CPU Fan RPM's have been running 4015 constant. (My previous CPU 1700, the fan ran constant 4400). Temp on new CPU stayed constant at 43C to 45C range. Last night, jumped to 64C after I installed Motherboard Monitor and PC reset. This is the stock heatsink that came with processor. I shut down PC overnight and fired up this morning and it's staying constant 25c so far. Should I consider replacing original heatsink with something else? Here are my specs in case my signature doesn't make it. Thanks for you help.

  • MS 6390 CPU fan turns off while loading windows

    Hi,
    I just bought a MS 6390 mobo and plugged in my AMD 1700 XP into it. Machine boots fine and allows me to mess around with the BIOS without problem. However, when I let Windows 2000 load my CPU fan switches off!
    The CPU immediatly begins to overheat and I have to pull the plug.
    Anybody knows what could be wrong?
    Regards,
    Asif

    Too late! I already changed it  
    Got a KT4AV instead  
    Apparantly a lot of MS 6390 boards of this type have been returned because of the same issue (CPU fan problems). The guys at the tech department did have a BIOS update (God knows from where they got that... i couldnt find it). Anyway, I raised a bit of a shing ding and got the mobo changed for a KT4AV (small difference in cost).
    Fredrik, I know about the S bracketless 6 ch sound thing, but as far as I can recall the manual on the 6390 didnt give any clue as to how to do it. I have to do the same thing with the KT4AV, but at least the manual is more detailed in explaining that.
    Anyway, I am running fine now  
    Oh I had a bit of chat with a techie at the place...and he strongly recommended the KT4 boards (AV and Ultra)...apparantly those get returned a lot less than others...I hope its true.

  • CPU FAN SO LOUD!

    So after installing all my new pc parts (FX-8350, MSI 970 Motherboard, GTX 750ti) everything is working as it should, but the CPU fan... (CM Hyper 212 EVO)
    everything is default on the motherboard but ive put my ram speed to 1866MHz but that's not my problem. my problem is that when I'm playing BF4 (or anything CPU intensive) obviously the CPU is going to heat up right? but when it's under load, about %70, the CPU fan will be spinning at about 400rpm, at %70 load still but then suddenly it boosts itself right up to %100, and it's so loud! I've tried setting a fan curve on the hardware section of the bios,(as temperature increases, CPU fan RPM increases) but it just doesn't do that! and also while it's under load  the cpu fan will be at %100 then drop back to 400RPM, is there anywhere that can tell me how to use the fan curves? thank you!
    *SHORT*
    CPU fan curves not working

    Hi,
    Try to change (within BIOS) from "Smart Fan" to manual control and set minimum value of 25% and max of 100%. Then you should be able to control fan within Windows using Command Center and if you need 100% you will set to it, else you can have it lower.
    What is the actual CPU temp when it hits 100%?
