It seems like right after I installed windows 8, the front facing fans (pretty sure) are going 100% at idle on desktop and im really pissed because I have the SpeedFan program and I turned down all the fans that were available and it did nothing. If anyone has had this problem or if someone knows the solve for this, please help me out I'm slowly killing myself inside because of this noise.

SpeedFan is dildos. 

 

If you have the fans plugged directly into your motherboard, you can change their speed in the BIOS, or you can plug them directly into your PSU but you'll need a fan controller to manually adjust their speed.

Not sure about your case, but on my fractal define R4 I have a manual fan controller on the front of the case with three speeds (5V, 7V, and 12v), so check your case for that

lol SpeedFan sucks. Download your motherboards tuning utilities from here or adjust fan settings in BIOS

 

Make sure your fans are plugged into the mobo as well and not into direct power (molex)

Open "Click Bios">>"Motherboard Settings">>Hardware Monitor">>  And change your System fan settings from auto to whatever percent you want.

If those are 3pin fans, Speedfan doesn't do anything to them. Use mobo software, BIOS, hardware solutions or HWmonitor/OpenHardwareMonitor to control them.

Hey, I've already done this, still no fix. :( I put both of the auto options to the lowest setting (50%) still doing the same thing.

Which would mean that they are 3pins and so you can't lower the speed from BIOS options.

You can and it's the whole point of the bios option.

Then how do you explain that changing settings in BIOS didn't have any effect on OPs fans? I know software can change those things but I don't see how you get into those pics in BIOS. They look like software side to me. BTW. sorry for being thick headed about this. I just had own issues with BIOS fan controls.

My guess is maybe he has them plugged in to fan headers that aren't controlled and run 100% all the time or didn't apply the changes. I think his board has 3 that are as mine only has the two.

 

As for the pics, i have Systemfan1/2 set to run at 50% through my bios. When you open up the MSI Control Center you can still adjust them on the fly if you want.
