Z87-G43 Can't control PWM fans, wth?

Here's the build:
MSI Z87-G43 (BIOS v1.6 updated hoping this would fix problem, no go)
Corsair H80 watercooler (dual PWM fans push/pull config on radiator, these are what I cannot control)
Intel i5-4670K
16GB DDR3-1600
GTX550Ti 1GB
The H80 fans, I disconnect them from the cooler and connect them to the motherboard for control by software, rather than letting the H80 handle them itself so I can control the water temperature and let the pump run at full speed (like a custom water cooling circuit). I've had PWM control of these fans before on an old AM3+ build without a single problem, but plugging them into CPU1 or CPU2, I get 0 control at all. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this, I've tried plugging the fans into SYSFAN ports, and nada. My 3-pin V-Control fan works on SYSFAN1 port without a problem, full control. CPUFAN ports have no PWM control it seems, and I've tried Control Center and other 3rd party applications to enable it, without success. HALP, my computer sounds like a jet engine for no reason!
Trying to adjust the PWM fans in BIOS doesn't work either, they just keep running at 100%... I'm really getting tired of the jet engine sound.

USA will often allow a cross ship, but not usually in other parts of the world. Here is the contact;
  > Contact MSI <
Do you not understand this is a user to user forum? Non official MSI support? Even the admin and mods are non MSI employees. All volunteers here, not at beck and call to wait hand and foot on somebody that 'demands' anything.
I understand that this is a user forum, but when I see "MSI HQ" as their title, that's quite misleading as that reads (when you break down the acronyms): Micro-Star International HeadQuarters.
I'm only 'demanding' because I just got this and set it up. I have been without a primary computer for months now and otherwise lost access to TERABYTES of data that I can only access with the keys on the primary drive. I lost money on those projects not being delivered on time, and now that I'm back in business, I don't wish to lose any more waiting for a replacement. If they can cross-ship, that's fantastic, and I'll be so happy because I won't lose a single day to downtime waiting for replacements.
I have used MSI boards in the past, in fact my "backup" computer (missing all my tools and code) is running an old MSI board, and my router's motherboard is also MSI. It's usually solid products that I have no problem with, so something as tiny and otherwise trivial as this, just rubs me the wrong way. I understand there's manufacturing defects that will come up, one of those MSI boards, when I got it had a bug where you couldn't burn a CD because if you had the IDE port configured for a certain speed in BIOS (by default), it would crash the entire board when pushed. This was due to a capacitor mix-up back at the factory (that MSI admitted to and offered free replacements to anyone with an affected board), and while I never bothered to request a replacement (I just applied a tweak in the BIOS to avoid using that capacitor like many others), it continued to work flawlessly otherwise. Though, this machine is gated for many many tasks, and getting a headache while using it because of the loud fans, just won't do, especially when I'm going to spend the majority of the time using this machine.

  • 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,
    Quote
    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.

  • How can I control my fan speed?

    How can I control my fan speed on my macbook pro? I use SMC for gaming and streaming video from the internet when using my Mac OS, but I partitioned my drive and installed Windows 8 in order to play a different game (not a huge game) and the computer heats up dramatically when playing on Windows through Boot Camp to the point that it freezes every time (it never does this when playing a mac game or streaming on the normal partition Mac OS).
    Any suggestions or programs to control fan speed of the mac from windows?

    Get a cooling pad.  That will much better than trying to constantly adjust fan speeds.
    Ciao.

  • Z87-G43 can't reboot - how to update BIOS?

    Hey all, today I built a new PC with an MSI Z87-G43 mainboard and an i5-4690 CPU.
    I have the problem that the PC can't reboot or reset, instead the PC just keeps running and doing nothing whatsoever.
    This seems to be a known issue and the solution is to update BIOS + ME firmware.
    For an explanation on how to do that everyone keeps linking to this topic. But to be honest, I don't understand what I have to do now :( (Also, I have never done a BIOS update in my life, and I am kinda scared of the warnings that it can brick the system...)
    Could someone tell me which files exactly I have to use for this specific mainboard?

    Quote from: Chike on 17-May-15, 17:02:57
    Check the serial number for manufacturing date, it look like this:
    S/N: xxx-xxxx-xxxxYYMMxxxxxx
    i5-4690 requires BIOS 1.7 dated 2014-02-26 and the i5-4690K BIOS 1.8 dated 2014-05-29
    If the board date is later than the required BIOS release it is likely that you have it already.
    That part of the serial number is 1402, so slightly too early I guess? In the BIOS setup it says V1.6 as well, screenshot:
    Quote
    How exactly, does it keep rebooting or does it just stay on?
    It just stays on, I get a black screen and the fans are running. I need to press the power button for a few seconds so it turns off, then I can turn it on again.
    This happens whenever the PC should reboot: When I select "reboot" in Windows, it shuts down and then black screen. Whenever I press the reset button, I just get the black screen. Also e.g. after exiting the BIOS. The problem existed already before I installed Windows, so wrong settings there can hardly be the reason.
    Everything happens exactly as described in the topic I linked.

  • Can you control iMac fan?

    I have two iMacs--one two years old that runs hotter than the one purchased last month.  Is there a setting to control the fan speed to cool down the older iMac?

    I put in a ssd & bigger hdd using the ifixit.com kit and directions, then bought the fan control software from http://www.hddfancontrol.com.  Took 3 hours, but everything works fine and is very fast & quiet.

  • [GTX 980 Gaming] Can't control second fan

    Hello,
    it seems with the 980 Gaming it's not possible to manually control the second fan, unlike with the 970 Gaming.
    Is there a way to make it go up less aggressively? It quickly gets to ~1100rpm or more while the GPU is still just hardly 60°C and the VRMs are probably not hot either.

    As I understand things that's the way the 980 is designed. You most likely have to use two software's to gain control of both fans. Afterburner plus XXXXX.

  • Z87-G43, can't enter the BIOS Setup, system is not running

    Hi everyone,
    I was working with my pc for about 2 months. Since the very first day i had few problems with mobo but now i can't even run the system and enter the bios. First of all, i had problem with running the system after disabled the MSI logo. I had to enebled it again, because it was the only way to turn on PC (bios stopped at the screen with black screen and a2 code) but it was about 1 month ago. I also remember that from the very beginning option "Hardware Monitor" wasn't working, i mean bios was freezing too and i had to restart PC. Furthermore i have noticed that after choosing language to Polish, few more options in "Settings" appeared, but after switching language back to english they were gone. Unfortunately i can't say now, which one it was because now i got the biggest problem...
    BIOS is not running at all. I mean, it all stops with A2 code in right bottom corner of the screen. I can't even enter the bios setup. It shows "Setup is preparing to start" or something like that, but it doesn't run... Can't do nothing atm. BIOS version was the latest - 1.6 . It all started to happening when i had entered to option in bios with disabling or enabling MSI logo, i didn't choose nothing, it freezed, i have resterted PC, and now i nothing is running...  Btw sometimes, i coudn't run the system and bios was freezeing also, if my TL-WN722N wasn't connected to USB port in front case's panel. But now, whenever Tp-LINK is connected or not, it's not running...

    A2 is IDE detect <--- that is a HDD/SSD problem or its cable (try a different one)
    if the above doesn't work try to foll0w >>Clear CMOS Guide<< do that to reset the BIOS to defaults with power cord removed from your PSU!
    after performing the above steps make sure you enter BIOS and reset the SATA mode (AHCI/IDE/RAID to what you installed your os at) and boot order to your SSD first!
    Ye that's the reason, I have a new brand 1tb sata 3 where I installed the windows, but the old 320gb sata 2 is causing the same error, so I have to remove the cables from the sata 2 hdd, than the pc boots ok. I shutdown & reatach the old drive & evrething works untill the PC enters stand by again.

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 7 PWM Fan setting question

    Hello, right now I'm using Z87 motherboard from others vendor (as***k), and now I want to change my motherboard to MSI Z97 Gaming 7. But there's something that I want to ask first. When I'm using still using Z77 motherboard which is MSI Z77A-G45, I can set the PWM fan to change it speed automatically by change the CPU fan to auto in the UEFI. But in the Z87 I currently use I have to customize it in the UEFI, so that my PWM CPU fan change its speed as the CPU temperature changes, it can't be set to auto and I don't like it at all. Now that I want to change my motherboard to MSI Z97 Gaming 7, I'm searching the review first. And I'm seeing that it have similar fan setting with the Z87 motherboard that I currently use 
    I want to ask, is it possible that I can set the CPU fan setting to auto just like the Z77A-G45 I used to have?

    Quote from: Abula on 19-May-14, 08:22:10
    What you are seeing is mulitple breakpoints of temperature, as you do on your AsRock.
    I own a Z87GD65, and in mine i only have 1 true breakpoints, which is the temperature in which you want the fans to speed up, according to the temperature of the cpu.  I als did a build for a friend on a Z77GD43 and it was similar just didnt had the graph, as it has on the Z87GD65 nor the new one that you posted on the Z97 Gaming7, but what i see is more customization on the new motherboard, with 4 different breaking points, i see the same restrictions on the PWM %, increments of 12.5% as it is on my GD65, weather its worth it, personally i dont care, one is good enough for me, i usually just spin down my fans to the lowest i can, and set the breakpoints for the temperature i want my fans to spin up, if the temperature is reach they will increase gradually, defined by the max PWM % and max temperature, this two variables (that you can change) will make the graph with more or less inclination.  In the new Z97 Gaming 7, seems the same just multiple breakpoints, meaning you can have different inclinations into how the fans react depending on the temperature, weather its worth it or not.... depends on the level of customization you want to the fan control, personally im fine with a single, but i can see people that could like having depending on their needs, personally what i would have loved though, is to give me 10% increments instead of 12.5%, or 5% would been better, but 12.5% just seems odd number imo.
    Remember, MSI only has 2 true PWM fan headers, CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2, even though all are 4pin physically the SYS_FAN are not true pwm fan headers, they are voltage controlled and have much higher restrictions than the real PWM fan headers.  And remember that if you plug 3pin fans on PWM fan headers they will spin at 12V that its the voltage that its handled by PWM fans, so be careful what fan you plug into where to have control on them.
    Hmn, so since Z87 MSI use that breakpoint system to control PWM fan, just like my asrock Z87. So there's no auto setting on your Z87GD65?

  • Can I control 3-pin fan with MSI Z97 gaming 5?

    Hello, I want to know if I can control 3-pin fan plug into 4-pin header with MSI z97 gaming 5 mobo
    Thanks
    PS: Sorry my poor english

    I own an MSI Z87-GD65, im assuming your Z97gaming5 is similar, mine can control 4pin PWM fans on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers, and can control 3pin fans on SYS_FAN 1,2,3, all of this on bios fan control (i dont like nor use the Control center).  The limitations of my bios is that on 4pin fans on CPU_FAN1 i can go to 12.5% pwm (as long as the fan can reach this low), while on the 3pin con SYS_FAN i can only drop them down to 50% (thats if you fan can start at that voltage, had one that needed 60%), the fan can be ran at a steady % = rpms or can be dynamically ramp up with the CPU temp, thats also selected on the bios.
    Here is a run that i did last weekend on a Silverstone AP182 connected on SYS_FAN3 on pure bios, you can see there the different % and rpms, and in the bottom you can see prime95 run where it did ramp the fans with the cpu temp.

  • Z87-g43 fan header problem

    Hi everybody first post here so to get straight i have a small problem with sys3 fan header it seems that pwm function isnt working the fan is spining but i cant adjust speed in hardware control
    it can be 50 or 100% its gonna spin at the max speed other 2 headers are working properly i also tried diffrent pwm fans on that header and i couldnt adjust speed for any of them
    cpu headers are also working properly anybody have idea?

    I have the same problem with my Z97-G45 MB, SYSFAN1 and SYSFAN2 works without problem but SYSFAN3 the speed(rpm) goes crazy. SYSFAN3 Speeds from 700rpm to 56000rpm according to HWMonitor, probably not the true speed as i think its not possible with anything above the fans specified 1000rpm, in my case I originally had 2x140mm fans and recently i bought another one just like the ones i have from start. I have tested the different sysfans in different slots and aslong as i only have two sysfans connected in the same time theres no problem but when connecting a third fan problems show up. All sysfans i have tested works fine aslong as only 2 fans are connected.
    I think the MB is having problem to handle more than 2 sysfans at the same time
    In this video ive made HWMonitor shows Auxfanin0/Sysfan1 and Auxfanin1/Sysfan2 works fine but Auxfanin2/Sysfan3 shows strange RPM speeds.

  • Can't control fans speed after upgrading to kernel26 2.6.31 [solved]

    Mother board is ASUS P5Q-SE. After upgrading pwm sensors disappeared. I can get temp and fans speed but not set. Any ideas? :-\

    "This works for me" is a little vague.  What worked for me specifically was to start with your link and drill down two levels of links to this webpage, http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/7932.html, which explained what the problem is and that the workaround is to add acpi_enforce_resources=lax to the kernel command line in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
    Someone who understands this issue better than I do should probably amend the appropriate sections of the wiki (lm_sensors, fancontrol, et al).

  • Z87-G43 Slow Boot after adding GPU - Need Help

    MSI Z87-G43  bios v 1.0
    i5-4670K  not overclocked
    stock heatsink
    Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G 8G total
    PSU Seasonic SSR-450RM G-450W Gold 37a +12v
    HD WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6 Gb/s
    Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD Burner
    Case Antec 300 Illusion
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
    Just added  GPU Asus GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5
    I ran the system for 3 months with the onboard graphics.  Never had a single problem.
    Started playing my old flight sim game and had turn off/down many features to get the graphics to work and not freeze up at times, so bought a graphics card.
    Had problems getting the new GPU to work.  Had to preload drivers to get it to come on.  Graphics would go off on some apps and had to reboot.
    After a few days it has settled down and seems to work.
    The problem is that the screen does not turn on until it gets to the windows welcome screen so I can't get to the bios screen.
    It looks like there is a video preference setting in the bios but how can I get there.
    I added all the utilities hoping to get the GOTOBIOS feature but when I go to MSI Fast Boot it just says its already running and so there is no tab to turn it on.
    What can I do?
    Also had to remove the Network Genie as it slow the internet to crawl and had to remove the utility that controls fans and clock speed as it used 30% of the cpu all the time but I guess that's a new topic.
    Sorry this is so long but as you can probably tell this my first time on the forum.

    I tried to do this but F8 didn't work to get to safe mode.  It just locked up the start.  Checked on line and saw that I could change config file to make it go to safe mode but saw the horror stories of people getting in a loop and having to reload their whole computer so didn't' try that.
    I went back to the onboard graphics and was able to see the bios prompt at start up.  Changed the integrated graphics configuration-initiate graphic adapter in bios to PEG for primary boot device.  After save and exit the monitor wouldn't come on all.  Shut down and switched the monitor cable back to the new GPU card.  On start up the monitor started immediately saw the bois prompt and all is working like it should.  The complete boot time is now much quicker,  like it used to be.  Time to start on my other problems.
    thanks  mcbob

  • Is it possible to control CPU fan speed (lower) with K8T NEO2-FIS2R (MS-6702)?

    I have:
    MSI K8T NEO2-F motherboard
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor
    Bios is latest I found, AMI BIOS 9.20
    Operating system is Windows XP pro.
    Processor was boxed and with the normal amd fan.
    Processor fan is plugged in CFAN slot.
    My problem is that the cpu fan spins a bit too fast. Cpu temp stays at 25C and fan is spinning at 1800 rpm.
    Setting manual mode from corecenter didn't change the fan speed at all. Not up or down. Neither can SpeedFan program. But if I stress the cpu, the fan starts spinning faster.
    What is controlling the fan speed and can I manually control it?
    There are no control options in bios.
    If I missed any information, please do ask more.

    Hi,
    Core Center is crap, you can't do anything else with that than uninstall.
    Speedfan works. You'll have to set "PWM 2" from "thermal cruise" to "manual control" somewhere in the advanced configuration menu, I don't remember where you can find that. The help file provided with speedfan is quite good, I strongly recommend reading it carefully. Using speedfan you can also control a second fan connected to the SFAN-connectors.
    The built-in fan control sets the speed of the CPU fan to 2/3 of its nominal RPM value (my fan starts at 2100/min, max is something about 3300/min or so). Its speed increases quite late, on my system at temperatures above 50°C. And it increases quite slowly.

  • Z87-G43 Gaming - Random rebooting & strange CPU temps

    Howdy.
    Since building this system I've been having constant problems with system reboots. It seems completely random, but I've had a few this morning which is unusual (and I hope; unique!). It can be doing anything, or even nothing, for days and suddenly the power goes completely for a few seconds (I'm almost certain it isn't the power supply itself dropping, other things plugged into the same surge protector are still running).
    When it returns windows log just shows Error 6008, with no other information. It happens infrequently enough for me to think I've cured it by doing something suddenly to get a surprise again. Things I've tried:
    Re-installing OS (several times!).
    Changing/stopping startup programs and services
    Unplugging USB devices (for a while I honestly thought it was an iPhone cable! There seemed to be some correlation between it being plugged in and not plugged in. Not so).
    Updating BIOS
    Using Microsoft drivers instead of MSI supplied drivers (went back to MSI)
    Using the Qualcomm Athero drivers for LAN instead of Killer
    Monitoring CPU temps (see below!)
    Tuning BIOS
    etc, etc.
    It is really frustrating, there is very little evidence to point towards one thing. It can go a week without rebooting, including lots of heavy gaming, and then I'll be doing something non-CPU intensive (i.e. browsing, or typing) and it suddenly restarts, then maybe another later that day, then another two days later, then nothing for a week again. Arggg! The one thing I have noticed, is that it rarely, if ever, goes down when doing something very CPU/GPU intensive, so I doubt it is thermal or that the PSU isn't coping.
    Having said that, this morning has been a bit unusual, it has restarted more than ever (3 times I think, maybe more when I wasn't sat in front of it, I haven't checked the logs).  The last time I fired up openhardwaremonitor and it reports something really odd, it says one core is running at nearly 125c and another is running at -35c . Speed fan is also showing these temps (but not Core temp, which shows them as being around 30c on each core). I totally understand that this is a misreading/bug, but it makes me wonder if the OS or motherboard is also misreading these temperatures and cutting the power supply?
    I have found others with the same problem with the same motherboard (although to be fair, I was searching for the problem with the motherboard specified). Anybody else seeing these problems with this motherboard? Any suggestions?
    Any help would be very much appreciated, and I thank you in advance.

    Every other time (apart from today) it is instant, like a reset, this morning when it went off I honestly thought it had died, but it came back about 30 seconds later.
    TBH; I'd rather it had died! I know it sounds like strange logic, but at least I could have tested individual components and found out exactly what was wrong and had it replaced while still fairly new.
    Event Viewer is just full of: Error 6008 "The previous system shutdown at <time> on ‎<date> was unexpected" (logged when it comes back, nothing significant before the reboot).
