I cant seem to control the fans within windows, I'm making a linux usb right now to see if it'll work from there. I've also looked around in the bios, and a separate intelME extension to see if there's anything there, and I didn't see anything. Yeah I guess that would work if all else fails EDIT: in linux, when I run pwmconfig it doesn't detect any sensor modules. When I run sensors-detect, the only thing it finds is coretemp.

as per another suggestion on reddit, I pulled the power cord and the CMOS battery for ~15 minutes, and the same thing is still happening.

Me too... Thanks for trying though.

looks like an intel stock cooler of the era.

They're both 4 pin headers and 4 pin fans

Both the case fan and the cpu fan are plugged into the same headers they were before, so it should be right. Theres only one other fan header on the board and its too far away for anything to reach, probably for a front case fan.

I recently upgraded a cpu & cooler in an old desktop. After putting the new cooler on, and the new cpu in, the fans are pegged at 100% all the time, despite reported temps in windows being ~30-40 degrees. Why is this, and how can I fix it? So far I’ve tried reapplying thermal paste and resetting the bios by pulling the cmos battery. I've also tried lowering the fans manually with SpeedFan, but my fan controller isn't detected, and there are no fan settings in the bios. The new cpu is detected correctly and everything works fine except the fans. Machine: Lenovo A1U-9174 Old cpu: intel core 2 duo e6550 "New" cpu: intel core 2 quad q6700 Cooler: coolermaster hyper T4 Any suggestions?

I have an old thinkcentre that I want to replace the cooler/cpu in, but the backplate is held in with these tiny plastic clipsHow do I remove them? The machine is a Lenovo A1U9174, and the cooler looks roughly like a stock intel cooler of the era. pic of the clips attached
