Z87 Gaming Boards - Questions regarding fan control / soundblaster cinema...

Hello everyone,
I'm thinking about switching to MSI Z87-G45 Gaming (currently using Asus Gene-Z V), however there are three issues that I've been unable to find information on:
1) Fan Control
The new msi boards seem to have new bios fan control which enables you to set a low temperature and corresponding fan speed, aswell as high temperature which marks the temp when the fan will reach 100% speed. However I've read that this is only available for the CPU_FAN1 header and not CASE_FANX or even CPU_FAN2 (if available). Is that true?
2)Audio Solution
The middle boards seem to feature Realtek 1150 in combination with the software solution Soundblaster Cinema (Xpower as X-Fi MB3). Now the soundblaster cinema really confuses me, is it better than the X-FI MB2 (thats the software solution of the asus Z77 rog boards)? Does it have the "soundblaster console" in addition to thx true studio pro or is it just the thx utility etc.?
3) VGA Boost in combination with msi graphics cards
What exactly does this do? It says that it automatically increases the power target, but is that useful if you also use msi afterburner?
Thanks.

Thanks for info, I ordered a G45-Gaming today and let's see how it works out.

Can you control 3 pin fans with this board?
BTW first post here :-)
I can update you on this issue once I get everyone up and running, however generally msi had the following setup:
CPU_FAN headers -> pwm control (and sometimes voltage too)
CASE_FAN headers -> voltage control only (= 3 PIN fan)
The "old" case fan control sucked though since you could only set a range from 60% to 100% on the fans whereas for cpu fans you could set 0 to 100%. Also the minimum temperatur for case fans was 40° which in makes case (case temp never rose above 35°) made case fan control pretty much useless.

Question about fan control MSI MPower

Hi, Cosimo from Italy, sorry for my bad english.
I have a question about fan control with the MSI MPower.
The MPower site says: All 4-pin PWM fan connector Onboard
But the manual says: SYSFAN1-4 pin 4 No Use
My question is: the Control Center Fan Utility support the fan connect SYSFAN1-4 3 Pin voltage controled or 4 Pin pulse width controled or both?
Thanks Cosimo.

The fans will run as per your percentage setting in the BIOS.
I can't find the percentage setting in BIOS...

Question regarding Run control ID

Hi All,
As we all know that to run any process we need to specify a runcontrol id to be associated with any process that need to be run and this run control id determines how and where any process will run.
However, When we schedule any process(App Engine, SQR, Cobol SQL..etc) , a page appears which asks to select existing run control id or add new one but, when we add a new run control id of our own choice we don't specify like when and how the process will run, but just the name of runcontrolid.
Then, how the system knows what settings to be done when we run any other process using the same runcontrol id since we haven't provided any other info associated with that runcontrolid but just it's name.?
Hope, I have made my point

Normally, a run control page will include a subpage like PRCSRUNCNTL_SBP. This page will include a "Run" pushbutton that runs PeopleCode to load the PRCSRQSTDLG page where you enter the additional information (where, when, etc.). The PeopleCode then uses the Process Request APIs to submit the requested
process(es). If you wanted to find out which tables are updated by the APIs, you could enable SQL trace--I'm not sure if they're documented anywhere.

Bob

I ust went from XP to Windows 7 and have several questions regarding email controls. Comcast can't answer them and asked me to ask you.

Among my new problems.
1. The alphabet is now missing from the opening page of my Address Book.
2. How do I set my email page as the opening page?
3. When I finish answering an email, send it and click “Delete” on the just answered email, it doesn’t delete but instead opens a new email page I have to then close and go back to the in box, check that old message and delete it that way. How can I correct this?
4. How do I set up a default type and size large enough for me to read?
5. How do I turn off the automatic paragraph indentations when I number or letter paragraphs?
6. Sometimes when I click “Send” on an email, it takes many seconds to leave. Why?
I’ll sure appreciate any help.

Hi rhaughan,
I see that you have concerns about your operating temperature of your computer while using resource-heavy applications such as gaming applications. I have an article that will address some of the concerns you have mentioned:
Mac notebooks: Operating temperature - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-is/HT201640
While there are third-party utilities that measure the temperature of a notebook computer, it is important to understand that these utilities are not measuring the external case temperature. The actual case temperature is much lower. Never use third-party applications to diagnose possible hardware issues—instead, contact Apple or go to an Apple Retail Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider.
You should also see this article for even further information about your fans:

290x Gaming 4G - NO FAN CONTROL AFTERBURNER

I am not the only person, why on earth does MSI PAY for Afterburner and not have proper control of their cards through it?
The stock fan control profiles SUCK and I'd be happy to have just plain ole, SIMPLE fan control. Afterburner doesnt work, MSI Gaming APP doesnt do (horrible program BTW devs) and CCC doesnt work either... YAY!
Someone tell me I am moron for not finding some hidden checkbox, otherwise I am pretty disappointed with my two new 290x Gaming 4G's.

Use the attached for both.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (TV308MH_161.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.161) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.161 to 161.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios if flashing both cards one after another with one card removed. If you want to flash both in one system the syntax listed before will just flash one card. You'd need to type then atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and atiflash -p -f -noaper 1 161.rom [ENTER].

Fan control questions

Hi
I have a mid 2008 2.8Ghz iMac with the stock 320 Gb HD and 4 Gb ram. It runs fine but I am worried about how hot the case gets at times, in particular the top left corner. I have iStat widget installed too which shows what I think are reasonable temps most of the time, but sometimes even after just everyday use (browsing etc...) some of the temps seem high (power supply is presently at 75c). The fan speeds don't seem to increase much at all from the factory minimums. I know about smc fan control and iMac fan control, but I have a couple of questions before I decide to use them.
1. Do you think I need to be worried about this?
2. What damage could I cause by running the fans harder?
3. If I use these utilities to push the fans harder than Apple recommends, will I void my Apple Care?
Looking forward to your answers
Paul

An utility like smcFanControl only changes the minimum fan speed setting. You are still running the fans well below its maximum capability. So the change is to the low end of the speed range, not the high end. You CAN set it high enough so that the minimum fan speed sounds like a small vacuum cleaner, but I would not set it that way for any length of time. I just tried it once to see what it sounded like with the fans running at a high speed (never heard them before). There is a max possible setting, so you can't set it to a crazy high number.
I use smcFanControl and have the fans set about 25% higher than the default speed. I still can't even hear them at that setting, so I figured I wasn't doing any harm and it may help my iMac run cooler (not that noticed any issues with heat).
I can't see how it would void AppleCare. Unless you set it to sound like a vacuum cleaner all the time (which would be really annoying), you are running the fans well within their normal operating range.
Note: The adjusted minimum fan speed is only in effect while smcFanControl is running in the background. It does not change any system or hardware settings. To go back to the default settings, just quit smcFanControl.

Z87-G45 - need some way to control fans

Hi, I have a set of Scythe Ultra Kaze fans that need some controlling, and my MSI board just isn't doing it. I know that the prefered method of fan control is through PWM fans (well after a few hours of googling I found this out) but I'm hoping that there is still some way to use this motherboard (through either software or bios) to control my 3 pin fans. I don't care for automation or anything like that, I just need to set my fans at around 50-60% power so that the noise isn't too bothersome.
I've tried getting speedfan to work and no luck, I've also tried the command center with no luck. I don't want to get a fan controller unless it can be tucked away behind my motherboard simply because I don't want the aesthetics of my PC to go down the drain with either a fan controller in the back panel or the front panel. Plus, spending extra money to do something all my other motherboards have been able to do so far is just annoying.

Fan controllers nowdays can be quite pleasing to the eye, and that would be my recommendation as being the ultimate solution. Some report that by not using the mainboard fan headers at all also extends the life of the boards. Not sure if that is fact or fiction though.

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.

Question re: fan replacement & smc fan control

hi all,
a few months back, i installed smc fan control and have been using it to run my fans at 6000rpm in an effort to keep my operating temps down (average now is about 115*F).
so, obviously, running my fans at 6000rpm for what is pretty much a continuous time will wear them down faster. my question:
will my fans be covered by apple care? i've got a plan valid for 3 years (i've had my MBP for about a year now). should i expect anything to happen to the fans within this timeframe?
thanks in advance

Hi blikebecks23,
When you start up your computer, it's already at 115 or it climbs to that temperature after normal usage? Personally, that's pretty normal operating temperature for these machines. I went to instal SMC Fan Control prior to responding and with my machine "idle" and having a few tabs open in Safari I'm sitting at 117 degrees and the fans at idle of about 2000rpm.
With that being said, I really don't see the need to run the 3rd party application, the built-in temperature monitoring logic for the machine is adequate enough to properly cool the unit.

Questions regarding Alert log & Control file

Hello,
This is my first post to this forum. I'm new at administrating a database 11.2.0.3. I have couple of questions regarding Oracle DB.
1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards

1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
That depends on your comfortability - But checking alert log is good.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Yes - you cannot recover your database if it set zero and doesn't have recovery catalog.

User-developed Fan Control for the S10(e)

Hello and welcome.
When you've searched the internet and found this thread, it's possible that you are an owner of a Lenovo Ideapad S10 or S10e which has a little problem with the behaviour and/or the noise of the fan. In this post you will get all the informations you need to handle this problem for yourself. It should also be the same on every S9/S9e.
Just a few comments before we begin:
This is not an official support or solution by Lenovo.
We are just normal users as you are, but we get rid of the fan and wanted to find a way to handle it. So if you want to try anything of the methods described here you have to know that you'll do all this only at your own risk. We are not responsible for any damages of your device. You should only use these methods if you know what you are doing.
Please note that this thread is only for discussing, improving, trouble shooting and perhaps extending the fan control utilities. Any general complaints about the fan problem itself should be placed in the original thread right here: http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=IdeaPad_Netbook&thread.id=795. It already has 80+ pages (the link goes to the first page) and it is better to exclude all the fan control stuff because there it's very difficult to keep an overview.
Here you may post all of your questions, ideas/brainstorming, concerns, thanks and so on and you are really invited to participate and be an active member.
In this first part of this post I'm going to summarize all information about using a fan control utility. For any newbie it will be enough to read this post to get all necessary information. The second part does the same for developement of fan control utilities as we still have no known or working fan control utility for Linux, Mac OS X and other OSs I've forgotten - for now.
For getting started you need a S10 or S10e with an up-to-date BIOS. For the S10 it's the 90 67, for the S10e the 66.
The battery issue
Under very specific circumstances - that we haven't figured out yet - it might happen that your Lenovo S9/10(e) no longer detects the battery while using S10FanControl or S10Fan. It might occur after 2 minutes, it might occur after 2 months, it might never occur. It does not occur using Notebook Hardware Control.
It can be solved by removing the battery, waiting 10 seconds and put it back in. Then the battery is re-initialized and the detection works again.
S10FanControl - Windows
The first utility is S10FanControl created by user dresslerc. The current version is 1.0.0.1, available here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yd5xmnrnijf/S10FanCtrl1.0.0.1.zip. After you've downloaded it you just have to extract it and start the .EXE in the "Release" folder. Here are the notes and the description dresslerc posted right here:
Everyone,
I've uploaded a version which everyone can use to test with. Remember this is still a TEST version although I think it works for the most part. It should work both on the S10/S10e.
Please install the .NET Framework 2.0 or later first.
Then click here to download the exe: http://www.mediafire.com/?jlg2enkjdxn
Once downloaded, extract the files and hit hte S10FanCtrl.Exe. Once this program launches you should be able to control the fan. Keep in mind that if you lower the fan speed then it'll take upto 30 seconds before the S10 registers the change, so be patient.
I've only tested this on the latest BIOS 59. I am sure it will work on the 57 as well but the individual speeds might not work properly on that version. Please try it out and report back.
The only issue that I heard so far is that occasionally the fan will kick in regardless if in Manual/Smart Mode. Also the temp it shows may not be accurate. If you find any other issues please let me know what they are so I can attempt to fix them.
Once we have all the kinks worked out then I will release the source.
Heres a quick Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PKl70ZgmFg
REMEMBER: USE PROGRAM AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES THIS PROGRAM MIGHT CAUSE.
Application Use:
BIOS Controlled - Fan is controlled by the BIOS
Smart Mode - Fan is controlled based on the conifguration in the options. You can set the threshold here at what temp you want the fan to kick in...
Manual - Fan is controlled manually by the slider.
If you want to have the program startup automatically, then place a shortcut of the app in the PROGRAM FILES -> STARTUP folder. Then you may want to go to the options and make the application minimize at startup.
Edit:
It seems there are some issues with the app and the S10e or previous BIOS versions. Will post a fix asap.
The source code for S10FanControl is available here: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=7a3fb99d33817c08c2b435915e8821d7e04e75f6e8ebb871, written in Visual Basic .NET 2008.
S10Fan - Windows
The second utility is a tool written by user slash:
Hi guys,
Well it looks like Lenovo dropped this matter after all. Anyway, I have here another fan controller to add to the bunch. I have been using it for some time now without any problems. It is for both S10 and S10e.
What the program does is basically the same as others. The S10's fan speed is controlled according to the ACPI thermal zone temperature. By over writing the values which resides at offset 50h of the EC register at an appropriate timing, the ACPI thermal zone temperature is over ridden. The program is written in C and uses WinIo created by Sysinternals. The GUI version is available now.
It should be noted that the fan speed temperature thresholds differs with BIOS version. For 14CN67WW and 14CW90WW the fan changes speed at temperatures 60c, 65c, 70c, and 80c. Furthermore, the BIOS will automatically shutdown the S10 if the temperature reaches 90c.
The program has a fail safe mechanism that automatically disables itself if the actual ACPI thermal zone temperature goes above 85c. This allows the BIOS to regain control and the fan will work as intended by Lenovo. If the temperature drops below 85c the program will take over control again.
To run the program, you will need administrative privileges.
Known working BIOS versions: 14cn58ww, 14cn60ww, 14cn67ww, 14cn90ww
The program will work with any BIOS version as long as the BIOS uses the 50h EC register readouts to control the fan.
build 2009.05.24
Higher priorities for EC commands.
Usage: The program will run in the system tray. Double click or right click and use the menu to open the program. To determine the BIOS temperature thresholds, use the 'Setup' button. To run at boot time, place a short cut in the startup folder.

Notebook Hardware Control - Windows
The third utility is a profile for Notebook Hardware Control. I've adapted it from a profile for the Lenovo N500 which I've found here: http://nhc.yourcopy.de/overview/. With the manual for creating the profiles that can be found here: http://www.notebook-treff.de/board/database/hilfsprogramme-f%C3%BCr-nhc/92-how-to-create-an-acpi-fil... I was able to change the ACPI commands to work on the S10(e).
Installation and setup is divided in two steps. The program Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is available at http://www.pbus-167.com/. Install the program, but do not start it for now. Then you need my NHCConfig utility, available here: http://forum.eeepcnews.de/download/file.php?id=1476. It detects your model number and BIOS-version via WMI and writes a proper S10(e) profile to the NHC acpi directory. The GUI is German if you have a German Windows and English if not. Additional languages can be added.
After you've extracted the ZIP-file you have to start the nhcc.exe (requires .NET Framework 2.0). At first a message appears that you use the program at your own risk. Then you can choose if you want to apply your own settings (experts) or if you just want the program to run with my defaults (newbies). In the settings window you can see your system details on the left, you can set up your thresholds in the middle and you can set the fan speed you want on the right. Then click on execute.
Now start NHC. Go to the "Settings" tab and click on "Show all NHC options and settings". Then a few more tabs appear. Go to the "ACPI" tab and check if the "ACPI Control System" is running (if everything works, the message "ACPI Control System running" will appear, otherwise it says "ACPI control system is not yet configured for this system"). Now click on "Show ACPI Control System details".
Here you can change the temperature values the fan control depends on (the settings from NHCC are the default values). On the bottom of the window you can see the "Current CPU temperature". That is the value you have to deal with. In general it has a value of around 60°C. In the middle you can see four user editable temperature values. You can leave the values as they are if everything works. The on/off values are responsible for the temperatures at which the fan starts running and stops again after cooling the device. The level values are responsible for the fan speed, for example you can set the off_level higher to let the fan run all the time at the lowest level, if the values do not fit for your device or whatever.
You can switch between NHC and BIOS control by disabling or enabling the "ACPI Control System" or by closing NHC.
Q:
A:
With every utility it is possible that it takes some time until you see an effect after you've started the program. Any failure of the programs should be no big problem because the only thing that should happen is that the BIOS controls the fan. Another issue that might occur due to the way the fan is controlled is that the fan may start running for a very short time and it looks like the fan control has lost control. The fan should stop immediately or at least after a few seconds.
Keep in mind that running the S10(e) with a fan control means that the S10(e) has to deal with higher temperatures. That could mean that the device will not last for 10 years but only 9 years (who uses a netbook so long...?). In every case you need a tool for monitoring your cpu temperature. We know that especially Core Temp 0.99.5 and Real Temp 3.00 do a very good job. That is important because the temperature values you need to set up the fan control are different from the values reported by the cpu sensor, they are between 15°C and 20°C higher. A normal temperature reported by the monitoring should be around 40°C, with the NHC default values the fan starts running at 52°C and stops at 38°C.

Q:
A:
END using fan control
BEGINNING developing fan control
Controlling the S10(e)'s fan is a litte bit difficult because it looks like there is no way to control it directly. But it is possible to manipulate the temperature the BIOS fan control depends on. As long as the built-in fan control thinks that the cpu is cool enough the fan stays off. And that is exactly the point where we can attack.
The fan control depends on a field called RTMP in the memory of the embedded controller. It can be accessed via "_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", the offset of RTMP is 0x50 (hex) or 80 (dec). It is a direct I/O read/write. The complete NHC command for reading the value is: ACPI.FIELD.ReadByOffset("_SB.PCI0.LPCB.EC0.ERAM", ref value, 0x50, 8) with "value" as the variable which gets the value.
What program logic do you need? You need a timer or something else that conducts an always-refresh cycle. It sounds very easy: You read the value, manipulate it and write it back. And it is that easy, you just have to keep some things in mind.
This refresh has to be done very often. The procedure must be very thin and quick. Also the bus that is used to communicate with the EC is a problem, but since the S10e BIOS 66 it became a minor problem for me because it looks like the built-in fan control now depends on some kind of average value over the last few seconds and it doesn't really matter if one write-cycle is failing.
The read-event must be placed before the write-event. Otherwise you just read your manipulated value. The field is filled by the system regularly, so you just have to test if the read_value is different from the written_value, then you know that the field was filled with a "fresh" value. Like "if read_temperatue <> written_temperature then real_cpu_temperature = read_temperature else do nothing".
About the values you have to write back... you will have to test and play a bit. My experience is that you can select three fan levels, starting at 59°, 62° and 70° - at least with the NHC profile and my S10e it's like that. It's some trial 'n' error. My fan stays off at < 59°, but you should select a very low value for fan_off like 30°. In my opinion it switches off much faster the lower the written value is. But it's just a feeling, I haven't measured it.

Great opening post Carsten!
The latest bios:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-71252 (BIOS 66)
The FSB can be reduced from 133MHz to 100MHz using SetFSB, this also reduces the heat:
http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
clockgen = SLG8SP513V
If you add a shortcut to the startup folder the program will start at startup. Under properties you can change the target to:
"C:\Program Files\SetFSB\setfsb.exe" -s100 -b1 -cg[SLG8SP513V] -w20
So it starts with a FSB of 100Mhz, in the background, with the right clock generator, after 20 seconds.

MSI Z97 Gaming 7 + Sys Temperature FAN Target

It's funny thing i discovered:
In "Hardware Monitor Tab" theres a radio button named "Sys-Temp" and when you click it... all Fans suddenly target on SYS-Temp.... but only until you leave that tab with ESC-key.
It is impossible to save it.
It is impossible to set it up individually for each fan.
When you click on help it says: "You can set CPU or SYS target temperature and adjust fan duty cycle".
The German Website says:
Quote
Total Fan Control: Individuelle Einstellung aller Lüfter
Englisch: Individual setup of all fans!
So i reflect to register.msi.com. They told me it is not the specification of the board and that they will forward my question about the "misleading" help-entry inside the bios to the relative departement? What the frakk!!!
This was advertised!
Can anyone help to activate this function?

Presume he is talking about the 'System' button on the left side? The colored blocks in certain fan control setting configurations are also adjustable.
The specific issue of not being able to set his desired settings and save them, MSI Technical has been contacted and informed of it. I had no such problem setting up the CPU fan control or System fan control and saving it on the test board I had for awhile.

MSI GTX 980 + Afterburner Fan Controll

Hio
i only have one simple question, will afterburner support fancontrol of both fans of the msi gtx 980 in the future??
thats the only thing preventing me to buy a msi gtx 980 because i dont want 2 seperate programms to have control of both fans... and i can only set custom fan curves for 1 fan with afterburner...
And as i heard with the msi fan control tool i can only set fixed speeds not fan curves.
the msi gtx 980 is already out now for over 6 month and still afterburner didnt support both fans... so i think it will not happend?
best regards

on several other forums that is discussed, afterburner only controls the gpu fan the other one can be controlled with msi fan control tool.
and yea 960 and 970 didnt have seperate fan controls, they bind together.
Exactly right. MSI decided to use two controllers on the 980. AB will not change in order to control both per the programmer of AB. Tell MSI not to do this kind of thing in the future if this concerns you.
