Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 CPU Fan Control Issue

[melevex]

Here's my specs:
Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 rev. 4.0 BIOS ver. F3
AMD 8150 BE
Geforce GTX 1070 8gb
16gb G-Skill Value Ram
1TB HDD
YES... ALL drivers are up to date!!!

I was using a liquid cooler on the processor until it died. And yes it died; I tested it on another system. So now I'm using the stock cooler that came with the AMD 8150 BE. The other day I started overheating and I also noticed that the fan on the proc wouldn't "spool" up to compensate for load (playing BF1). I didn't have this problem until right then!! I checked the BIOS settings and went as far as to change them in every combination I could think of but still overheating. The fan on the cooler does spin, It just doesn't "spool" up!
In the BIOS there are three parameters that can be changed:

Advanced /frequency Settings/Advanced CPU Core Features/Cool& Quiet = Enable/Disable

PC Health Status has 2 settings:
CPU Fan Control Mode = Auto/Voltage/PWM
CPU Fan Speed Control = Normal/Silent/Manual/Disable

I have tried every combination of these three parameters and it changes Nothing. Can I get my fan to just run at max? I know it's loud but I'm ok with it temporarily till I can actually spend some $$. Is my MB actually going dead?

My tech level is med to med -high so please be specific and thanks for any help in advance!

I would suggest you re-flash your motherboard BIOS. Speaking of which, which version are you on at the moment? Is it possible to explain how your cooler and how soon you spotted it? Lastly, no overclocks, right?

Thanks for the response... The BIOS ver. is F3 and I spotted the problem on a mild morning. I turn OFF my computer when I sleep and did the same this time. I booted/ cold booted and it started just fine ( but, I don't just always watch my temp.). I checked emails and then loaded BF1 to play. I didn't even get past the main menu before I heard the BIOS alarm that I set at 70c. AND then I realized that I'm not hearing the same noise as I usually do. The CPU fan was not spinning "fast and loud" under the load (obviously!). Then I did what I posted in my first post. Oh, and, no overclock! The stock cooler wouldn't handle it and/or I wouldn't trust it to do what I want.

Thanks for making the effort to help. I'll try flashing the BIOS (good suggestion, I didn't think of that one) and get back asap!

There are at least some 990fxa ud3 rev 4 motherboards that don't work properly with the F3 bios. In particular the cpu fan may stall or run very slowly after resume from standby. I recall getting a beta bios (f4a) that fixed this problem from Gigabyte support, but this does not seem to have been released. There are some updated versions of f4a at https://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php?topic=16870.0

Hi same problem almost identical setup but have a msi 1050ti and 1tb ssd. i have found that on my machine its fine until the computer goes into sleep mode, then when i wake it up the cpu fan ( Fan but Gaming Fan ) just idles, the temp just slowly rises until it crashes. to stop this i have been running easy tune 6 and set the fan mode to custom. but would love to find a permanent solution.
