What is an AUX?

[Henrique de Lima]

Ok, i have been trying to figure out why my CPU cooler is getting fast so easily, so i downloaded SpeedFan to see if i can understand whats going on.
But when i opened it up i noticed something very strange:

The "AUX" is the most hot thing showed there, and thats probably what is causing the cooler to get at high rpm's, but i dont know exactly what it stands for, and especially what it is.
So if anyone please know what an "AUX" is, please do tell me! It is going to be really helpful!

Specs?

Probably a misread .

Let me know if missed something:
Processor: AMD FX-4300 X4 AM3+ 3.8GHz
Motherboard: ASUS 980DE3/U3S3 AMD760G
Graphics Card: XFX One 2GB DDR3 HDMI DVI PCI-E2
RAM: 4GB
HD: Toshiba 500GB

It's an error most likely.

Okay, but is there some way to disable AUX in the bios itself, or something like that?
Because disabling it in SpeedFan probably wont solve the high rpm issue...

got the same reading on a asus board this means it does not read sensor as it should ,the other thing set you cpu fan speed 100 % and activate all pwm on auto to 100 % this is a laptop .

Ok, im gonna test this.
But what should i do so SpeedFan saves this config?

 

[scout_03]

1 check the auto box on top of page one then press configure on temp check all the box even in the + sign one , same for fan and voltages if you want , then same for speed when you press pwm a box appear on the bottom put max to 100 % and auto with log do not touch anything else and press ok give the result back . another thing on the temp it show 40 C minimum temp lower to 35 c and log all of them .

Well, i did everything as you said, and my cooler is still really fast.
I don't think SpeedFan can control my cooler then...

 

[scout_03]

the fan still run at fast speed even on idle then i would check if the cooler is well seated on the cpu power off you may have to repaste and if you could get new thermal paste like the mx2 or mx4 they do not need cure time make shure you put back cooler on as it should .

No, i think i didnt explain well.
On idle the cooler is pretty silent (1700~2000rpm), but when i run any kind of game it starts to get really fast (5000~6700rpm), and really noisy too.
So the purpose of this topic was to see if the "AUX" was influencing this in some way or another, as it appears at 128C on SpeedFan.

no the aux is not in for this but if the fan run at high speed that means it have to cool cpu that is getting hot so repasting could be a good thing you could also use a aftermarket cooler on the cpu like the evo 212 ,what king of air flow you have in the case .

Would a EVO TX3 or a Loki II 92mm also do the job?
I have been thinking on buying one of those two in case there is no way to make my current cooler less noisy.

Also, what you meant with: "what king of air flow you have in the case" ?

 

[scout_03]

number of fan that are in and witch one push air in and one who exhaust it .also a 92 mm fan will be more noisy then a 120 mm one .
