First of all, for my GPU (GTX 470) fan speed, it reads 40% current, 40% min, and 40% max. This is all during idle so it seems normal. But after a while, it'll show the max as 100% even though it was still idle, not gaming or using any programs that might stress my GPU to the point where it has to spin up to 100%.
The only thing I can think of that might cause this is my profile settings for EVGA Precision. I have it set to Auto for idle/2D and 70% constant for 3D apps. Could Precision be the cause of the increased fan speed to 100% or is HWMonitor just inaccurate even though the idle readings seem normal?
Secondly, there are some readings for "Fans PWN." Is that the case fans I have connected to the molex heads on my PSU? It's doesn't plug into my mobo.
If it is, the reading shows a min of 40% fan speed and a max of 100%. I thought if the fans are connected to molex, it's always running at 100% unless I have a fan controller, which I don't.
If anyone can clarify the things I've described, that would be greatly appreciated.
