Rem0o
Fans are at full speed since V124
Ever since V124 my case fans have been going to 100% until FanControl opens.
If the curve that is set on the fans is turned off they immediately spin at 100%.
Have you rebooted since? This can happen if somehow FanControl got force shut.
Hi there, I have reboot multiple times and even tried a BIOS update since I havent done that for a while, the fans were back to normal operation until FanControl rebooted, I'm now slowly transfering myself back to V122 to see if that fixes the issue.
The driver didn't change from 122 to 124. So I'm not sure how that would help.
I would check what your fans are defaulting to when FanControl is off. Most likely your bios config, or your motherboard's software.
Yes I've checked that and found out that my fans will always max themselves out for some reason. I assumed it was because of FanControl because I updated it yesterday and it was the only update that occurred. I might be wrong though. This problem started today, sorry if I didnt make it clear.
Edit: It seems that v122 did not help as u mentioned.

You're not alone. After using this Fan Control my fans always runs at max speed when in BIOS or when Windows is not booted yet. Before using Fan Control, my fans would follow my BIOS fan curve setting, now the fans totally ignores my BIOS setting. Even after I deleted Fan Control and removed it from Windows Scheduler. I think this software messes up with fan control setting in the BIOS.
@r1y4h FanControl had a problem on windows shutdown where it might/might not have the time to exit properly and release all ressources. That's my only theory as to how it might happen for some people only.
If you are stuck in that state, two things to try:
1: Make any change to a fan config in your bios to try and force it to apply a setting onto the lpc chip. 2: Clear CMOS
I already tried #1. Now even without the Fan Control and using Smart Fan control from Gigabyte and then after calibration, the fans would jump to almost 100% at 20% fan speed only. It wasn't like this before so something really has messed up after using Fan Control.
Hi there, Did you try a full shutdown of the computer, back when I had this issue it turned out that i simply kept restarting the computer instead of shutting it down and that caused the issue.
Hi @lmDarkLord thank you. The shutdown did the trick. I had the same experience as yours. Now my fans are back to normal. I came here looking for ways to fully control fan curve. It's just unfortunate that there is a side-effect, I really like Fan Control's interface. Gigabyte software is not up to the task. I came from a ROG board which has a FanExpert is miles better than Gigabyte's Smart Fan control.
P.S. Just glad I asked here instead of Reddit (where I discovered this software).
Glad that I could help, also this issue doesnt really happen unless you restart your computer - and even then the app should tune your fans back to normal once its open , they will still go to 100% when you shut your computer down but thats about it. I barely experience this issue but even when it does happen its resolved very easily by a shutdown or as I mentioned the app itself.
Also, I made a change recently to force Windows to wait ( or let's say highly suggest ) for FanControl to completly close before proceeding with a shutdown. This should prevent stuff like what you are experiencing from happening.
I did see that, but of course I didn't know what it is for or if there would be any side effect. What I know is that I didn't save my changes so I guess that's fine. I just saw "Windows can't shutdown due to my Fan Control userconfig" something like that. Which is nothing unusual to be honest.
