ASUS Fan XPert 3 Issue

[MCWarriorz]

Hi! Just finished building my PC, and after installing AiSuite 3 and running Fan Tuning in Fan XPert 3, 2 of my fans become uncontrollable and run at 100%. All my case fans are Noctua NF-A14 iPPC 3000 fans, and after running fan tuning, Chassis fan 1A and 3A have a N/A in the speed graph and become uncontrollable, running at 100% speed. Reinstalling AiSuite fixes it until I use fan tuning again. What's happening?

Also, does the bios fan speeds have any control over the fans when windows is running with AiSuite on?

What mobo are you using? I've read at least one post from SR71blackbird that mentioned having to run Noctua Industrials from either a fan controller or direct from the PSU because of an apparent conflict with software/mobo control - I haven't found it yet, but I'll keep looking and post a link.

Does the mobo handle them properly if you don't run fan tuning?

The BIOS fan profile should be controlling any fans hooked to the mobo in the absence of running fan control software. Once software gets fired up, that becomes the default control. At least that's how it's been on the three Asus boards that I have.

I'm using the Maximus VII Formula. It's a direct connection to the PWM ports. No extra power or controllers.

The answer for this, from another thread, was that when you use Fan Tuning it sets the 0 entry to the full speed of the fan rather than the minimum. That messes everything up and gives you the NA in the UI.

You need to manually edit the FanCalibrationData.xml file to fix the 0 entry, then manually fix the the fan profiles (or better yet, save them after a re-install, and then replace the ones that are messed up after using Fan Tuning)
