Summary0002084: Unable to alter CPU fan speed with speedfan, 6000prm, computer impossible to use
DescriptionHello,

Speedfan always worked perfectly on previous setup, but recently i bought an Asus M2N motherboard with an AMD 64 X2 3800+ CPU and can't control the speed of the cpu fan.

At the start, the cpu fan turns at 3000prm and its good, but a few minutes later on Windows xp, it grinds to 6000prm with a temperature of 50/60c, and my pc isnt usable anymore. I tried deactivating qfan in the bios, same for cool n quiet (and in this case, the CPU temp is 35/40°c but the PRM is still between 5000 and 6000), went to the speedfan advanced tab and switched to software controlled for the controller but nothing change when i lower the % of speed in the main window.

If i could at least reduce by 2000prm the speed it would be bearable.

I provide you the details below, thanks in advance for your help:

Please, try setting PWM CLOCK to 3M.
I assume you are using the correct (3-pin, 4-pin) type of fan. If SpeedFan is able to control the speed of your fan, I suggest you to change the WARNING temperatures in CONFIGURE / TEMPERATURES. If fan control is enabled, SpeedFan will set all active FAN SPEED % to 100% when ANY warning temperature is reached.

Thanks for your answer,

I tried the 3M setting but no change. And it's weird because it's already in Software Control in the CONFIGURE/ADVANCED setting. I have to activate the QFan mode on the Bios for this parameter to return on Smartguardian then change it to Software controller, but with no effects.

Where you are saying the correct type of fan, which is it ? It's the fan sold with AMD 64 X2 processors. I assume it's a PWM type as the RPM goes up with the heat, i just can't control it at all, either on the bios (M2N bios is rather simple), either via speedfan. Maybe the motherboard is not well recognized by speedfan and it's not the correct super IO chip(IT8...) ?

I checked the CPU fan, it's a 3 pins one, so maybe it's because of this that i can't control it via speedfan ?
