PC Fans went from Silent to High speed

Ok then I do not know...

I recommend one of two things:

 

1) Read up on how to set up speedfan and while it's not intuitive it will give you full control of your fan speeds while also monitoring temperatures. If you do this, google "how to run speedfan on startup" for a process that will tell windows to run it every time you boot the computer.

 

2) Contact Dell, tell them since the power outage the fans have been much louder and that no BIOS configuration seems to change that. You may run into an IT person on the other side of the phone that doesn't know what you're talking about, please be very polite to them and ask around for different people until someone understand what your issue is.

I know what you mean, it took me multiple tries to get it right. You have to go to the advanced tab and find the chip that controls your fans (it's going to have PWM mode settings in it) and make sure every PWM mode is changed to software controlled, that'll allow speedfan to control the fans.

 

Then you gotta go to the speeds tab and check the "Automatically variated" box on each speed. Once you've done both things you'll be able to punch numbers into the main window and they should variate your fan speeds. Keep a constant eye on CPU temps because your CPU seems to be running really hot.

it doesnt

You need to identify the individual fans by just unplugging them one at a time while watching the "Fans" tab. The one that changes to 0RPM is the one you have unplugged. In the same tab you will then rename them CPU, Intake, Exhaust, Radiator, ETC, by clicking twice on each fan name (not double clicking). Then go to fan control and select the sensor you want to control each fan. THIS IS IMPORTANT AND LIKELY YOUR ISSUE....In the "Temperatures" tab, click once on each sensor you have chosen to control your fans and at the bottom raise the "Warning" to a level above your highest likely temp. My case fans are controlled by "my Core 1" and "GPU" sensors, while my CPU fan is controlled by "Core 1" alone. My "warnings" are set to GPU=85C* and Core 1=80C*.

I still cant figure it out and dont want to break anything

Of your not willing to try and learn, and take some initiative, then sell your PC and buy a Mac.

 

Or take it onto a shop and pay way too much. Alternatively, you can uninstall speed fan and turn the auto feature back on in BIOS.

We need to check the softwareside fo things, and I solved it already so no point.

The main thing is that speedfan messed things up for my fan controller even after I uninstalled it, the 2-3rd time I did, it went back to normal.

Returning the auto feature did not work, nothing I logically could think of worked except uninstalling again and again the speedfan app.

So it's working right in stock form now? Good.

Yeah, the mysterious part is how it didnt remove the settings since it also asked me to remove them in uninstallation and I answered yes.

Anyway, something to keep in mind for the future.
