Tonglebeak Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I've spent the past 3 hours trying to adjust the chipset fan speed for my mobo. I've used just about every version of Smart Guard out there (none worked), I've tried the last 2 BIOS versions, no luck, and now I'm just about to smash the chipset fan just to make it shut up. Please tell me how to change the chipset fan speed, and if it's in BIOS, where at, because I've searched _every_ option available?

lowboy Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Bios should let you select when it starts up and when it gos to full speed under pc health. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing pc health lets me edit is the shutdown temperature, and the cpu fan speed. Not one thing lets me edit the chipset fan speed (although it does show the fan speed gonig at a noisy 6000 rpm) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure_evil Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 Smartguardian is the only program that allows me to change any of my fan speeds under windows. Somewhere on this forum there is someone who made some custom config files for it, real good ones imo, it even reads my voltages correctly where every other program misses.

Like I said, I tried every version of smart guardian I could get my hands on, but none let me edit the chipset fans. Different versions read different things, and everything was inconsistent; changing the "chipset" fan speed on one of the versions actually changed the cpu fan speed instead.

Tonglebeak Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I just turned off my cpu fan 5 minutes ago, and the diode is remaining under 30C. Now the only fans running are video card and chipset. I'm almost certain it's the chipset fan making all the noise because of the location the noise is coming from @[email protected], as I the cpu fan isn't running to make noise and the video card doesn't have much noise (if any) come from it. Smartguard was only able to take care of the CPU fan, but still not the chipset. I read that smartguard comes with dfi's cd, but I do not know where my mobo cd is. Could anyone link to the version of smartguard created for NF4-DAGF? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonglebeak Posted January 8, 2006 Posted January 8, 2006 I emailed tech support. I don't know if there's a jumper or something I'm missing, but hopefully they'll figure it out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
