Unexpected Roaring Fans #261

Closed Charles-IX closed 1 year ago

Charles-IX commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Sometimes the fans RPM hits 100% while no heavy workload is running.

To Reproduce I enabled "start with windows", and every single time I boot my machine and the lock screen shows my fans would give a load roar (exactly when the program started, AlienFX Light Effects can be seen,) Also this happens when the machine is idle, no matter I'm operating on it ( moving mouse, typing etc ) or not. It does not follow a regular basis, maybe 15~20mins it will repeat.

Expected behavior What happened in To Reproduce should not happen.

As i tell at other topic - it's OK for you curve. CPU can have 80+ at OS loading and in case some background tasks running.

But your second screen is interesting. This means boost get return an error. I'll add the patch for this.

Can you please run alienfx-config backup and share afx-fans.reg? I see a bug, but don't understand how it happened.

image This time I've got a snapshot of the app gui. It looks weird. But the CPU fan RPM is shown normally. More interesting though, the CPU fan roared for seconds, and after a small interval, the GPU fan started roaring and the app does not show current GPU fan RPM. It was 0. I can't drop reg file here, so it's a txt.

Oh for that in GPU 2, I mean boost is 0. I didn't manage to take a screenshot.

"Boost-1"=hex:00,fc,15

Here are the issue. It was a bug, i fixed it in 7.9.2. So open the latest version, select GPU fan and press "X" button near the "Check max rpm".

PS: This can happen before if you just start max. rpm check then stop it until any result taken.
