Hi All,
Hoping someone can help me out here.
I just built a new Ryzen PC and am having some issues with fans.
Mobo is a Gigabyte X570 Aorus master and the fans are Corsair 140ML Pros.
Issue #1: The fan plugged into the #5 fan header (also a pump header by the looks of things) appears to have a mind of it's own. It will ramp up to max speed with the slightest change in PC activity despite being manually locked to ~800 RPM in the BIOS. While I am still in the BIOS, it appears to behave. Once I am back in Windows and actually using my PC, nothing I can do seems to settle this fan down to a constant RPM. If I play a game it will ramp up to full 2400 RPM which is extremely loud. All other fans work as expected when set up identically to a set RPM. The only difference is this is also a pump header, so that may have something to do with it but I don't know what that might be. I have also tried setting it to PWM and making a custom curve but it does nothing to help. All fans are set to the same sensor point.
Issue #2: I use HWMonitor to help confirm fan speeds, and it reports incorrect fan speeds for some of the fans (approximately double the RPM). I know they are not running that fast as they are near silent as intended vs. sounding like a jet engine. Is this just a HW Info bug or is there something I can do to make this more accurate? It reports some fan RPMs perfectly and others are way off. It also does not report a #5 fan header speed, but it shows duplicate "FANIN2" data points, so I assume one of those is my #5 header but it's unclear.
Thanks in advance!
