Warm greetings everyone,
I've seen a lot of discussion as to the use of SpeedFan to control a specific fan/set of fans. I have an ASUS STRIX 270G miniATX and set up SpeedFan to control the CPU fan header in "manual" mode (I was finally able to get to this point by setting Q-Fan in UEFI/Bios to "Disabled" for control of the CPU fan header). Now that I can set the fan control to remember "manual", I have linked the specific CPU fan header to run based off of the GPU temperature and set a custom curve. In the main page of SpeedFan, I can see that the program is attempting to control the fan speed via the percentage setting in accordance to the GPU Temperature Vs. Fan Speed curve I created. However, even manually adjusting and adjustment to the curve for 100% fan setting at idle temperatures produces unsuccessful results in fan speed changes. I have come to the conclusion that there is something still running in the background other than the bios (disabled Q-Fan control as mentioned) which is still controlling the fans. I have uninstalled Ai Suite 3 and Fan Expert and removed any residual executable processes still running ("AsusFanControlService" and "AsSysCtrlService") in the task manager. There must be something else overriding attempts from SpeedFan... but what?
I am new to building computers (just built my first one and I adore it) so I don't have a lot of experience with the nitty gritty details. Would one of you experts in the subject matter be able to point me in the right direction?
Thank you in advance and I look forward to learning from this community.
Best Regards.
