Fans running at the max constantly after new SSD

[slycaper]

My HDD recently died so i added a 3TB HDD and a 525 GB SSD and had to install windows 10 from scratch and it went well except all the Fans are running at the max when no programs are running.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.

The fans are typically controlled by the motherboard. So the first thing to check is the fan settings in the BIOS.

It may also be that you had software that was controlling your fans, usualy motherboard manufacturers provide such software.. Like for example MSI has something called "Command center"

I checked BIOS and everything is where it should be.

Still looking for suggestions, I'm not seeing a thermal sensor location on the motherboard (asus pz77v lx) nor did I take one off of the old HDD but could that be possibly playing a role in this?

By the way the fans idle quietly as they should while IN BIOS but when entering the OS (windows 10) they get crazy (once again with no programs running, less than 10% disk usage and processor)

I think its a driver issue, I think windows 10 tried to update my drivers somehow and jacked it up, need help guys

When you are in BIOS, your computer is on and your fans SHOULD NOT be idle. Something is wrong with your BIOS settings.

I mis-spoke (typed), I can not hear them in BIOS and most likely are not running, i guess i'll need to look.

Any suggestions guys, fans are full blast non-stop.

Check this out, what do you think? What about clearing the CMOS?

"These issues with fan speeds at maximum have nothing to do with Cortana or any other running apps! For the majority of cases it's simply that after upgrading to Windows 10, no working fan controllers (drivers) have been installed for your motherboard.

Any of you that built your own PC will likely remember that the first time you booted your newly built PC you had to install the motherboard drivers from the supplied software CD. In the majority of newer PC's these would have included a fan speed controller. The problem with Windows 10 as many of you know is that Windows Update downloads and installs the most appropriate drivers for your system but in reality as is often the case these drivers are NOT always appropriate. In many situations Windows update cannot find a newer driver and so you end up with an old outdated driver which may or may not support Windows 10.

I have experienced this firsthand recently while performing a 'clean install' of Windows 10. Everything went fine with the one exception...., my fan was screaming along loudly at full speed. Unable to find an updated fan speed controller driver on the ASUS website I decided to test if the original driver would work but to my disappointment Windows 10 prompted with a message stating that the drivers were not compatible with this operating system. Hence therefore in the majority of cases above it's simply a case that your motherboard is not fully supported under the Windows 10 environment.

Bizarrely however restoring my PC back to it's former 'Upgrade' configuration of Windows 10 does allow the fan speed controller to run as normal."

Weird, when I unplug the HDD everything works, fine its a toshiba 3tb, do you think i need to update my power supply, I have a 750 watt PS and have a gtx 770 i7 (3.4) crucial 525 ssd, and a toshiba 3tb hdd?
