    CPU fan problem

    No - it does not have this option. I can only enable/disable "queen'n'quiet' (i have it disabled) or enable/disable "Q-fan" (i also have it disabled, but I tested all "enabled" values : silent, normal, turbo - with no change). There is no other bios option related to fan.

    CPU fan problem

    Hi guys, I have the following configuration: Motherboard : ASUS M5A78L-M LX, processor AMD FX 8120 (other components I guess are irrelevant to my question). Some 4 months ago, my CPU fan stopped working at full speed (it had max RPM 6000, but it worked at max 3000 - acording to SpeedFan)...

    Unable to increase fan speed.

    I will try that, however that will reset my bios to the factory one ? Because the factory one does not support AM3+ socket, it needs a bios update for that. And so, with me current processor, if that happens, I wont be able to start the computer at all !
