Summary0001006: Cannot change CPU fan speed on Asus P5K Deluxe
DescriptionI just got a new Asus P5K Deluxe and am trying to use Speedfan on it, but it is not working properly. This motherboard has the Winbond W83627DHG chipset, which I don't find in your compatibility lists on your website.
 
Here's what I found so far.
 
Speedfan recognizes that the motherboard has 4 PWM sensors. PWM 1 & 3 are tied, and 2 & 4 are tied.
 
I set the PWM 1 and 3 to manual PWM speed and PWM output, and it basically controls fans connected to the CHA 1, 2 and 3 headers. However, Speedfan is not recognizing the RPM speed for the fan connected to the CHA 1 fan header, but it is for the rest.
 
The biggest problem is that I cannot change the fan speed for the CPU at all. I cannot determine what PWM the fan header is connected to anyway, and all settings combinations possible yield no results. I tried everything possible, reversing PWM logic, PWM vs. DC output, Manual PWM, Speedfan III, Fan Cruise, Thermal Cruise, etc. etc. I mixed all possible settings, and I just couldn't get Speedfan to change the speeds for the CPU.
 
Oh, and I found a bug too. There is a place where you can adjust the PWM voltage or something like that; I adjusted away from the default speed of 23.4KHz and lost the ability to control any fan settings; I might have to do a clean reinstall.
 
Is it possible that the problems that I am having is simply due to Speedfan not being compatible with the Winbond W83627DHG chip?
 
Also, I attached a log of my Speedfan config.
 
Please let me know if you need any further info.

P.S.
 
I forgot to say; in the config file you might find some of the PWM Modes confused and stuff; this was merely because I was trying all sorts of combinations possible.

In CONFIGURE / ADVANCED set FAN DIVISOR to 8 or 16.

Are you using a 4-wire fan?
Are you sure that the hardware can change the speed of that fan?

Was it the PWM FREQUENCY?

AFAIK SpeedFan is fully compatible with that chip, but not every motherboard
supports all of its features.

I got further along in my research into this issue.

I finally got the fan to be adjusted, but now there is another problem.

Speedfan will only allow the CPU fan installed on the system to a base of about 1100RPM; I cannot get it to go any lower, even if I set the fan speed to 0. Can you tell me what settings I need to adjust in Speedfan in order to get the CPU RPM speed to 0 if I set the fan speed to 0?

Thanks.

Not contradicting you, but rather asking a question.

If that is the case, why is it possible for me to adjust all the other fan speeds to 0% except the CPU? Have there been certain cases that you have seen a motherboard prevent the CPU fan speed from ever becoming 0%?

 What fan are you using? The standard Intel one? Did you deactivate Q-Fan or any other fan control in the bios?

This is certainly not a Speedfan problem. The chip on your Mainboard is also on a P5B Deluxe and is supported for a long time now. On the P5B Deluxe for example, everything works fine.

So either you configured something wrong in Speedfan/ in the BIOS or your problems are due to BIOS-/Motherboard-Limitations.

No, I am using a Sony Scythe S-Flex which is a 3 pin fan.

Yes, I have been doing further research, and it seems like this is the exact same case as what you guys are having with the P5B based motherboards. It looks like Asus didn't include a PWM to DC option like they did in their previous motherboards. In my Asus P5W-DH, there is an option for the fan header to either function as PWM or DC. Functioning as DC will allow programs like Speedfan to control the speed of the fan. The P5K Deluxe has no such option, which means the CPU fan header is always functioning as PWM. This means that I am not going to be able to control the CPU fan speed as long as I am using a 3 pin fan. Looks like I'm going to have to buy a true PWM fan.

I saw some comments by alfredo in another support thread where he echoed something similar. Correct me if I'm wrong? And if I am wrong, how can I get Speedfan to control my 3 pin DC fan?

 You're first assumption is correct. Only a 4pin PWM fan can be controlled on the CPU_FAN Header.

You're second assumption is wrong. You CAN change the speed of the cpu fan. Just attach it to a 3pin header.

I did the same with my P5B Deluxe.

I have 2 S-Flex 1600rpm (CPU and in the back) and 1 S-Flex 1200rpm (in the front). They are all connected to the 3pin headers on the board. Since they are all wired together, they change speed simultaneously, but that is okay for me. Under Windows they all run with 45%, so they can't be heard.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking I might have to resort to.

The problem with that is that I cannot have different cooling fields with the new board as I did with the previous ones since all of them are now tied to the same circuit (i.e. there are only 2 [case fans, CPU fans], whereas with my old board there were 3 [case fan, rear fan, CPU fan]).

Looks like I am going to have to go out and get a Scythe 120mm PWM fan.

The answer depends on the circuitry on the motherboard, I think. You should either look at the circuitry or, much easier, ask for a final word to Asus.

alfredo, I saw you ask in a thread regarding your P5B, if anyone was successful in getting their 3 pin CPU fan to adjust. Did you have any luck with it, or is it basically what I just referred to earlier, that you have to use a PWM based fan to get adjustable CPU fan speed?

I do not really understand the problem. Your motherboard should be capable of controlling 3 of the chassis fans. The PWR_Fan can only be read.

So why don't you attach the CPU and 2 case fans to the 3 headers that support fan control?

ajm786

reporter   ~0003122

I explained this in my 2nd to last post.

There are 2 cooling "fields" on the P5K Deluxe motherboard. In other words:

There are 5 fan connectors. One has absolutely no control. The 4 that do are divided into 2: CPU fan, and Chassis fans.

If I connect my CPU fan to the one of the chassis fans connectors, yes, you are correct in saying that I will be able to adjust it. But then this is all one one fan adjusting circuit; I will not be able to independently control the fan speed from the other fan speeds in my chassis, and I do not want this, for noise/performance reasons. At the very least, I'd like to have the CPU fan speed adjusted separately from the chassis fan speeds. A PWM fan will give me this ability.

I just went out and purchased a PWM fan for my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, so it should be here in about 2 days.

Hello,

so what is current status on this MB?

are you able to control real PWM compatible cpu fan (eg Zalman 9700) when connected to CPU_FAN header? how where you even able to connect 3 pin cpu fan to it?

do i understand correctly, that of 4 chassis fan headers on this MB, one can't be monitored/controlled at all, 3 others are all interconnected, so that you can only monitor/control them as group? What speed do they report then, if i connect different fans to them?

also, how does PWM_FAN header act? does it serve only for PSU fan speed monitoring, or what?

As mentioned in my previous post, I did get the fan, which has a PWM (4 pin) connector.

Using this fan, I can control the fan speed using Speedfan, but definitely not as easily as before.

I see that almost all motherboards nowadays that have PWM fan connectors use PWM logic now. This means that almost all these boards or fans have a limit to how slow the fan RPM can get. With all 3 pin fan connectors, I can slow the speeds all the way down to 0 RPM, but with the PWM connector, I cannot. Every motherboard is different. I'm actually not sure if it's due to the fan itself or the actual motherboard. For instance, with my Asus P5B at work, I can only slow the fan speed down to 1000RPM. With my P5K Deluxe, I can slow it down to 400RPM. Never can I go any lower in any instance. But you have to remember, that on the P5B, I'm using the default Intel fan, whereas on my P5K Deluxe, I'm using a Thermalright Ultra Extreme with a Scythe PWM fan.

As for the other fans being connected on one circuit, you have to remember that they still all have their own fan header. This means that they all report their own RPMs.

I believe the reason for the low limit rpm is PWM itself. When you use DC, the voltage is reduced so that the fan will stop at one point; but with PWM logic the fan always runs on 12V, only the intervals are altered.

The latest hardware monitor chips can use both DC and PWM. Whatever is used, some external circuitry is needed. Once you have external circuitry, almost everything can be achieved. Unless you reverse the circuitry or ask the manufacturer, you can't be sure of what that circuitry does. SpeedFan exploits the capabilities of the chip. The rest is not under SpeedFan's control. PWM at 0% is like DC at 0V when looking at the output pin, but no fan is connected directly to that pin.

Could you please upload your config files or tell me how you managed to control your 3pin fans on the P5K Deluxe?

Wow. I didn't know this thread would get reopened about half a year later. Caught me off guard. :-D

Nevertheless, I've been running my P5K Deluxe with absolutely no problem with this configuration ever since. You'll find it uploaded.

Please be aware that I had to concede the point and changed AT LEAST my CPU fan to a 4 pin PWM fan about the same time I opened this thread. There is NO WAY to control the CPU fan speed if you use a 3 pin fan, period. If you want to allow Speedfan to control the CPU speed, you MUST get a 4 pin PWM fan, it's that simple.

If you have any more questions, let me know. Otherwise, go ahead and use the config I uploaded. Pay close attention to the way I configured it; once you do, it'll all start to make sense.

 Thank's for the config. I was asking because other people couldn't configure their fan speeds on a P5K-E. Turns out, when you attach a 3pin fan to the CPU_FAN connector Speedfan can read the rpm (of course not controllable) but at the same time all chassis fans cannot be controlled anymore.


@alfredo
I think this topic can be considered as "resolved". The P5B and P5K series seem to have the same control of fans and it should be noted that no 3pin fan should be attached to CPU_FAN in order to control the CHA_FAN connectors.

SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors fan speeds and temperatures in computers with
a known monitoring chip. Its main feature is that it can control the speed of the fans
according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise and power consumption.
SpeedFan can also access S.M.A.R.T. data and temperatures from EIDE, SATA and SCSI hard
disks.

How to setup:
Use the installer and read the HELP FILE.

Feedback:
Feel free to contact me at alfredo@almico.com if you've got any question or suggestion or
discover any strange behaviour.
I would like to receive an e-mail from those of you who try and find useful my program.
Not much: just a line of text.
Thanx for your attention :-)

       it's working pretty fine :-)
     - WINBOND W83791SD is now properly detected, thus avoiding detection of
       unknown chips at the same address

     - fixed an error that caused the PERFORMANCE indicator for S.M.A.R.T. drives
       to return too high a value if nothing was wrong (this error is mostly
       cosmetic and nobody could see it, as it was rounded to 100% even if it was,
       internally, reporting 10000% :-))
     - added full support for ALi M1535D/D+ fan control
     - added support for FDC37N972

     - by popular demand, I've added online a list of motherboards that are know
       to change fan speeds
     - restored and verified full support for W83697HF PWMs. I managed to figure
       out how to use them by walking through those million errors on the
       datasheet :-)
     - previous releases could issue a "WARNING : GIVEIO.SYS not started" without
       informing that the following second attempt actually succeeded. Now
       everything is more informative :-)
     - fixed a bug when too many temperatures are detected
     - added preliminary handling of specific sensors' options (you can find them,
       for a few Winbond sensor chips, in the configuration dialog under the
       ADVANCED tab)

     - added support for DELL CPU temperature and for fan speeds, even if these
       readings are the result of some hacks and not the result of a public
       datasheet. Any info from DELL would be much appreciated. Anyway, please
       note that reported temperatures seem to be REALLY HIGH. I wouldn't play with
       fan speeds if not absolutely sure. But so many of you asked for DELL
       support, so... now you should have it :-)
     - configuration option named ENABLE DELL FANS has been changed to ENABLE DELL
       SUPPORT

       TigerMP
     - fixed a bug when associating PWMs that could lead to a DEBUG message
     - added /NOTIMER command line parameter that will avoid SpeedFan from updating
       values. This option is useful to see if SpeedFan is able to properly detect
       your hardware and stop right after having done that
     - added /NOSMARTSCAN command line parameter. This option will force SpeedFan
       not to probe S.M.A.R.T. devices. This is useful if you're having problems at
       program startup right after HD probing. This has occurred a couple of times
       and the reason should be in a bad driver for the HD controller
     - fixed "PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE OBJECT NOT FOUND" error. Now it is trapped and
       a nice message is displayed. CPU usage won't be available, but everything
       else will be
     - decoded some additional info about DIMMs
     - added preliminary support for ServerWorks OSB4 (I need reports)
     - added preliminary support for WINBOND W83L784 (I need reports here, as
       datasheets, guess what?, are incomplete, missing or full of errors :-))
4.01 - the last PWM (SPEED) can be properly set once again (thank you Sander for
       making me notice it :-))

       including Pentium I, but it appears to be extremely precise :-))
     - minimum and maximum fan SPEED settings are now selectable in 1 increments

     - added full support for SiS730 SMBus
     - the message "ISA seems to be unused" has been changed to type INFO,
       instead of WARNING because several of you were afraid about the message
       itself :-)

     - IT8705/IT8712 voltages' readings are now enabled if BIOS didn't
3.07 - I've completely rewritten the installation procedure.
       Actually, now, there is none :-)
       You should no longer need to put any needed file nowhere, as SpeedFan is
       able to recreate them on the fly :-)
     - DLPORTIO.SYS and DLPORTIO.DLL need not to be manually put anywhere as
       SpeedFan should be able to recreate them if missing
     - fixed a bug with label when disabling ALL fans or ALL temps or ALL voltages
       or ALL speeds; if you try to reproduce this bug, please remember to check
       the fans each temperature is supposed to use; please note that this is not
       a bug in my code, but a "feature" from the compiler :-)
     - fixed an exception when sending a report using WinXP
     - GIVEIO.SYS needs not to be manually put anywhere as SpeedFan should be able
       to recreate it if missing, to install it as a service (under NT, 2k, XP) if
       not yet done and to start it if stopped :-)
     - autoinstalled GIVEIO.SYS if needed
     - changed icons: I know I'm not good with graphics, but I hope you will
       appreciate the effort :-) By the way: drawing a fan with THOSE 16 colors is
       not that easy :-)
     - /SUPERIO command line parameter has been removed: now SuperIO detection
       starts by default (I've done several tests with no reported crash :-)). If
       you need to disable SuperIO detection, use the /NOSUPERIO parameter instead
     - startup SMBus detection is now much faster; it you realize that some of
       your sensors are not properly detected, please use the /SLOWDETECT command
       line parameter and let me know
     - current PWM values (speeds) are updated after RESUME
     - confirmed full support for variating fan speeds with SMSC LPC47M13X

       REPORTS AS POSSIBLE)
     - ADM1025 properly initialized if not yet enabled
     - fixed ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 initialization
     - fixed a problem when setting PWMs
     - reversed PWM max and min logic on IT8712F: the datasheet says nothing on
       this subject, so I had to guess :-)
     - ADM9240, DS1780 and LM81 are properly initialized if not yet enabled
     - minor debugging changes to INTEL and VIA SMBus routines
     - added preliminary detection for FMS2701 (PLEASE REPORT)
3.08 - restored the proper use of MUTEXes: this should fix the problems when
       running SF together with other hardware monitoring softwares. I don't know
       how it could happen, but the compiler put an "END." in the wrong place,
       thus removing my INITIALIZATION routine

     - added support for DELL NOTEBOOKS. If you can't variate fan speeds with
       the controls on the main window, you might try to check the DELL option
       in the configuration dialog. This is actually something that works on
       DELLs, but there is no official info on this subject. It is based on a
       research from Michael Henze. It has been successfully tested on Latitude
       CPi D266XT and Inspiron 8000. Please, let me know if it works on your DELL
     - better detection of problems when sending reports
     - GL518SM should be fixed at last! this chip drove me crazy, but I found a
       PC with it and, finally, understood what was causing the problem :-)
     - added preliminary MAX6655 detection (PLEASE REPORT)
     - revised VIA SMBus support
     - added full support for LPC47N252 PWMs (tested on a DELL INSPIRON 8000,
       even though it's not that useful as I was unable to find any temperature
       sensor...)
     - trying to enable PMU on ALi M1533, M1543 and M1535D/D+ if not yet enabled

     - I've been told (thank you Alfred!) that on "ASUS A7V266, rev 1.06, BIOS
       v1002" you need to set CPU THERMAL OPTION, in your BIOS, to SHUTDOWN in
       order for SpeedFan to be able to variate fan speeds. Let me know about your
       experience :-)
3.04 - changed the order of detection for some sensors

       think)
     - I hope the tray icon is ok now :-)
     - default minimum value for fan speeds is now set to 0%
     - fan speeds are no longer variated as a default (you must enable them); I
       had to set it this way because a lot of users reported they couldn't change
       fan speeds, but it was due to the fact that SF was restoring them to
       appropriate values (according to temperature readings)
     - if a sensor is detected on ISA and then found again on SMBus, that SMBus
       address is no longer probed for other sensors
