Voltageman Posted January 21, 2008 CID Share Posted January 21, 2008 Do you still have cool n quiet enabled? If it is still enabled, disable it in bios, and see if the fan stops then. It sounds like when the cpu cools down, and the fan speed is slowed, it stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiedogsplatr Posted January 24, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 24, 2008 Still waiting for the heatsink and fan i cant get to the pc cause i have been snowed in for the last 2 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifogigo Posted January 25, 2008 CID Share Posted January 25, 2008 As far as the cpu fan turning off I tested on my own system one found there is a setting that can turn the cpu fan off. You may want to go to hardware monitoring and see if qfan speed control is enabled. (or at least that's what it is called on my asus board) and if it is enabled disable it.

starship_troopers Posted January 25, 2008 CID Share Posted January 25, 2008 Still waiting for the heatsink and fan i cant get to the pc cause i have been snowed in for the last 2 days just wondering...did you order it before you made sure your fan connector for the thing is 4 pin on your motherboard as well...because mine is only a 3 pin and socket am2....but that cooler is a 4 pin...just wondering... i just set that link up as an example.

MasterX Posted January 25, 2008 CID Share Posted January 25, 2008 Here are the details for the bios codes: http://www.amptron.com/html/bios.beepcodes.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiedogsplatr Posted January 26, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yes its a 4 pin. I got the heatsink and fan on and still happening but only when its cold. Never goes over 25 C. I tried in the bios to dissable and setting that would controll a fan still doing it. Now i guess i need to find a jumper on the motherboard to see if i can dissable cool and quiet through that.

Voltageman Posted January 26, 2008 CID Share Posted January 26, 2008 CPU Q-Fan Control and Cool n Quiet are different.. (I'm assuming you may not know this) There should be a setting to disable Cool n Quiet in bios...Perhaps your board is different. The settings for Cool n Quiet and CPU Q-Fan Control are not in the same place under my bios. They are actually under totally different categories...Next time I reboot and remember to enter bios I will check where.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiedogsplatr Posted January 26, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thank you i couldnt find it. I tried and tried. I swear all amd has it. I am so puzzled by why the fan stops when cool it has to be a setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prairiedogsplatr Posted January 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yes i dissabled all options having to to with all fans. One by one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted January 27, 2008 CID Share Posted January 27, 2008 you know...my cpu fan started humming like this..and it was the temp monitor/fan speed controller software program that came with my motherboard...maybe same for you? idk but im just throwing that out there.

mudmanc4 Posted January 27, 2008 CID Share Posted January 27, 2008 Variable speed fan controller, w/ no variable speed fan. This would cause the fan to have a voltage drop and do strange things such as make noise due to low voltage.!!!! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted January 27, 2008 CID Share Posted January 27, 2008 yeh. thats what i figured but seriously. i uninstalled the program that came with the motherboard and installed HWmonitor instead...and the humming quit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiedogsplatr Posted January 27, 2008 Author CID Share Posted January 27, 2008 I am not experiencing humming it is accually a warning from the motherboard telling me that the fan has stopped and it only happens when idol so its gota be a setting. The new fan is nice and queit i guess its not all that big of a threat because it only does it when cold but scares me that it does turn off i have never had this. Nothing is stock on this pc. I built it piece by piece even windows pro sp2 on it. I use the same stuff on every pc i build this maken me think it has to be a bios setting. But i just cant find it no matter how many times i look in the bios it drives me nuts not to know i am kind of a perfectionist when it comes to my pc running fast. I am not to big into overclocking but love to tweek it in setting to make it perform faster and use programs many programs. You can have the greatest piece of equiptment on the planet and if your software sucks you pc will also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
