CPU Fan ruined via ASRock F-Stream Tuning Utility?

Go to solution Solved by mrousavy_,

Problem solved - I just had to plug the Cha Fan out of the CPU Fan Slot.

Hey guys, so yesterday I installed my new Fans in my PC (2x Silentwings 2 140mm), connected them to my Motherboard (ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance) and then I set them both to always 100% in the Fatal1ty or ASRock F-Stream Tuning Utility. One of the Fans is on CPU Fan 2 Connector on the Motherboard, and CPU fan is on the CPU Fan 1 connector. In the tuning Utility I klicked onto "Start Fan Test" at "CPU Fan 1 & 2".. Now the maximum speed of the CPU Fan which is the Stock cooler of my Xeon E3 1231v3 is 900rpm or what could possibly be the exact speed of the Silentwings 2. Deleting the software or restarting didn't help, it reached ~80*C then I turned it off. Now - Should I just plug the Silentwings 2 out and plug it into the last free fan "port" which is "PWR FAN" and then test the CPU Fan again when only the CPU Fan is connected?

I know it's a bit of a complicated story and I am not a native english speaker, but I tried my best ;)

Thanks.

using the software version will make adjustments in the UEFI. sometimes they

will not revert back to stock/default when removing the software or adjusting

them in the software. you'll have to either adjust the fans in UEFI to default or

redo the whole motherboard factory reset (usually F5 in the UEFI).

I thought I would have to buy a new MoBo :'D
I will tell you if it works when I'm out of work. But thanks by now.

Okay, I did it, restarted a couple times, uninstalled F-Stream, resetted it again, ... Didn't work.
