FanControl not working for case fans #848

Closed ljsguitar33 closed 2 years ago

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

I was trying to use FanControl to control my case fans based on the temperature of my GPU while gaming. I am using an MSI MAG Tomahawk X570S mobo, Nvidia 3080 FE. When I downloaded FanControl and tried to set up my fans, it would tell me that an RPM sensors were not detected for my case fans, and it only detected my GPU fans.

My 4 case fans are connected to a splitter that is plugged into my SYS_FAN1 header on my mobo. So not sure why there are not being detected and can't change the speed.

One thing to note is that during the testing process, my case fans do turn off and then back on to their default speed but the software still says they were not detected. Any way to resolve this so I can control my case fans?

Can you Control this Fans with the Mobo Settings in Bios ? Some Case fans are 1 Speed Only. Ans what Connection do ther Use 3 Pin DC Control or 4 Pin Pwm Control. And is the Mobo Controller set to the Right DC or PWM Control on SYS_Fan 1 corresponding to your Fans

Rem0o commented 2 years ago

@ljsguitar33 That's because since you got multiple fans on the same channel, the RPM detection is bust, so it can't rely on it. But it's not mandatory. If you can see your fans changing speed, then you're all good.

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

I can control the fans in bios. They use a 4 pin connection and they are set to PWM.

But I can’t control the fans in the software when the attempted connection is done.

But you mentioned the fans stopped during detection right? Don't bother with the speed cards with RPM, or any of the "detected" stuff from the assisted setup. Just assign a curve to the appropriate control, it should work.

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

But how do I know which fan to assign the curve to? And is there any way to test which fan cars controls the case fans?

Made a utility for that: image

Then watch your fans IRL as you slide each to figure out which is which.

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

So click on identify fans?

I actually was able to get it to work and it works great except for one more issue. I put a custom fan curve for my GPU fans to go to 0% when below 37 C. But as you can see in the picture, the fans are running at 30% at 1000 RPMs when they should be off. Any fix for this? khjg

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

Are you there?

Audipower commented 2 years ago

No their is no fix some Mainbords don't let you set fans under a Minimum RPM and some fans do the Same. Some Fans set 100 % Speed when you turn off the RPM Signal off for Safty. And Other Fans can't Start when the RPM is under 20 % - 30 %. Zero RPM works most for GPU and some Price Fans like Noctua. But Case Fans have the Most a Small RPM Window From over 500 - 1200. FanControl test the minimum RPM at the First Start.

And in ( Controls / FanControl #4 ) their is no Speed Sensor Connected. Click on the 3 Dots and select Pair Speed Sensor then on the Fan Symbol from the Sensor that you will pair, i think it is ( Speeds / Fan #4 )

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

So you're saying that even though the GPU fans stopped running at a certain point before I ever used FanControl, now that I'm using FanControl they can't be turned off?

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

Are you still there?

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

Can someone please still answer my question?

Rem0o commented 2 years ago

@ljsguitar33 don't spam a thread for an answer.

FanControl is limited with specific GPUs in its control. Some Nvidia cards limit to 30% as a floor value. You can still go below 30% with other softwares like afterburner.

ljsguitar33 commented 2 years ago

So I can use Afterburner and FanControl in tandem at the same time? And well I didn't mean to spam but I was waiting for nearly 2 weeks for a follow up.

Rem0o commented 2 years ago

Yes you can.

Rem0o commented 2 years ago

There is a now an option in sensor settings for the 30%/0% override.
