Hi guys,
I recently got a Gigabyte Z77X UD3H. Everything is great with this board EXCEPT that it's fan control is horrible. What was Gigabyte thinking?! There are 4 sysfan connectors, and only 1 of them (sysfan1) can be voltage controlled, which means I could not use my 3 pin case fans or else they run at full speed. I just bought some Arctic F12 PWM fans but still cannot get fan control to work properly. Does anyone have a similar board and got it to work?
Easytune 6 is probably the worst piece of software I've ever used. System fans, unlike CPU fan, can not be controlled in relation to CPU temperature. Instead, it goes with system temperature, and mine does not budge even if I run Prime95. I want to set the case fans to ramp up when CPU temp goes up, but this does not seem possible with Easytune6. In BIOS, I tried setting fan control to 1 pwm per C, Does not really change anything. I'm thinking it still sets that according to system temperature for whatever reason. I'm checking RPM of fans with HWMonitor and they do not budge when running P95 vs idle. Does anyone have any tips on how to get this to work?
