PWM Fan Control..

Go to solution Solved by Skiiwee29,

 

Hi, just installed two new noctua PWM fans, I have a Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 5 motherboard. My BIOS recognizes the fans and I can adjust the speeds manually or sync them to different temperature sensors on my motherboard. 

 

My goal was to sync the fans to ramp up with my video card, but it appears that the PCIE_16X temperature sensor doesn't work properly (or not how I want it to) because it reads consistently around 30-45c even when my video card is temping at 70-75c. 

 

Does anyone know of a software workaround to this? I tried speedfan but couldn't get it to detect my fans, I noticed some other people having issues with gigabyte motherboards and speed fan. I tried the gigabyte SIV software but it only appears to give the same options as already included in the BIOS. Im looking for a software to try that will let my sync the speed of the fans to the temp of my video card. 

 

thanks for any ideas,
