Hi guys, I built a new gaming system about a week ago and everything seemed to be working fine, but whilst checking HWmonitor the other day I noticed a few things, one was that every now and again my cpu readings (Ryzen 2600) would spike to over 6ghz from the usual 3.8 and the other was that my fans rpm readings would spike to 50000+ rpm.
Obviously these are just incorrect readings but I wanted to figure out why this was happening.
I looked online and someone said HWmonitor has problems with Ryzen and to use HWinfo instead, I downloaded HWinfo and this fixed the CPU spikes and it's reading correctly at 3.8ghz, but the case fans are still behaving oddly, but rather than reaching ridiculously high rpm's they are going from 900rpm to around 2000rpm for a split second, the bios reports the same, If i turn the fan speed to max in the bios it reads around 1500 rpm and spikes to around 4000 rpm, I've tried all 4 fan headers and all of them act the same, my mobo is a B450 Tomohawk and the fans are stock 3pin case fans that came with the Carbide spec 06 RGB, Is there something wrong with my mobo or is this common with stock 3 pin fans?
