Describe the bug

I have a Gigabyte X670E Aorus extreme motherboard, and I have 2 CPU fans on my deepcool air CPU cooler for the CPU. I have 1 exhaust fan and I also have 6 case fans. 3 on top and 3 in the front of the case. Fan Control ONLY see's 1 fan (I don't know which one that is) and the NVidia card fan. I don't know why Fan Control doesn't see all my other fans. They are all 120mm

Is there a log.txt file next to FanControl.exe with recent date entries?

There is no log.txt file in the folder.

Relevant hardware specs and setup

DeepCool Assassin 4 dual Fan Gigabyte X670E Aorus Extreme motherboard (Where the 7 case fans are all plugged into). The CPU dual 120mm fans are plugged into the normal fan header for CPU Fans. GForce GTX-1070-Ti - (yaya, I know its an old outdated card, I am saving up & waiting for the price to drop for the 7900XTX.)

How/where exactly are your fans plugged into your motherboard? Be specific. What headers, any splitters/hub? From your screenshot, there are 4 headers that report 0 RPM, so most likely those are not plugged in.

INFO:

They are all individually plugged into the headers on the motherboard directly. (No splitters or hubs whatsoever) I can assure you, ALL the fans are plugged into the motherboard. The Gigabyte X670E Aorus Extreme has a lot of fan headers. The motherboard is equip with 10*PWM/DC Fan Headers. ALL the fans are spinning and blowing air, but can not be controlled by Fan Control, hence the screenshot.

Here is the list of fans in the computer, all 120mm:

2 - CPU Air Cooler Fans installed in the CPU Fan header. 1 - Rear exhaust fan 3 - Top Case Fans 3 - Front Case Fans

Do you got this enabled? image

No, I did not have this enabled. I clicked the checkmark box and still no changes. 🤷‍♀️

Do you have HWInfo? Open it up and see if the fan channels are on multiple chips, and which chips.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for. But its the only thing I can find in HWInfo regarding what you are asking.

looks like hwinfo can't get info from io chip on your motherboard have you tried update bios to latest version and toggle all fans to pwm mode? also update hwinfo to latest version

i have a werid problem on my b650m aorus pro board. LibreHardwareMonitor was unable to obtain rpm info after I installed the computer for the first time until I replugged and unplugged the fan

download LibreHardwareMonitor, you should get some info from io chip like this LibreHardwareMonitor

I have the latest bios on my motherboard. And HWInfo is on the latest version.

Do you have BIOS configured to manage the fans or are they set to default/auto? Do you know if the fans are DC or PWM? If DC, then you may need to manually set in BIOS to DC mode.

No BIOS configuration, they are all default. And as far as I can remember, they are all PWM fans,
