Sensors will not calibrate correctly, puts up question marks
Describe the bug CPU and GPU sensors all have question marks. Was working previously before 218. Uninstalled and deleted ProgramFilesx86 folder and reinstalled. Auto calibrated everything again. All calibration points now give same RPM and throw up question marks again. Cannot get this to work properly now.
Relevant hardware specs and setup MSI x870e Carbon Wifi, AMD 9800X3D, MSI 4090 Gaming Trio
Did you just send an email for the same issue? Just to not get split discussions.
Yes my apologies, I made that before you responded so I can use that if you want so that anyone else having this issue might see that and get it resolved

I am currently trying to work through the issue. Tried to uninstall/reinstall again (and also deleted program files x86 \ fancontrol folder in between)
Got this when installing fresh.
Working through this at the moment.
Ok so I get nothing working at all when doing a fresh install of this. Not even GPU sensors work. Is this getting data from somewhere else other than programfilesx86\fan control folder? It seems to be putting things back even with a fresh install.
If you want a clean slate, delete the Configuration folder in the Fan control folder.
I not only deleted that folder but the entire fan control folder as well. I was able to find a setting in my BIOS that was automatically controlling the fan. The thing is, I've never turned this off before. However in the interest of getting this working I disabled it and we'll see if I can get the CPU fan working.
I'm currently in the process of getting the GPU fans to detect and calibrate properly. The initial process upon installation fails miserably to do this and I don't understand why. But at least I can get them to work. Will keep you updated on the CPU one next.
Once again, the CPU fan refuses to change speed with calibration. It does not seem to be able to be controlled by Fan Control at all. Even with BIOS Smart Fan control disabled. I will look in the bios for more options that might be doing this, but no other program in Windows can control fans as this is the only one I use.
Assuming the fan cant be controlled because I picked the wrong sensor, I unpaired it and attempted to pick from the list, except there's only one CPU Fan sensor listed. Moving the slider in this windows causes none of the speeds in that window to change at all.
This is probably what did it. Restarting the machine and seeing if that fixes it
The CPU fan is now stuck at 800 RPM instead of 1800 RPM. The motherboard appears to control this still somehow. Looking into that
I believe these MSI boards are not currently supported properly in LHM.
A fork waiting to be approved into the main branch addresses this: https://github.com/Alcolawl/LibreHardwareMonitor/releases/tag/25.2.2
Try and swap these dll in. You must have the .net48 version for this to work.
I used the .Net Framework 4.8 installer last. I will try these DLL's thanks.
Still no good but was worth a shot so thank you. I made sure to start the entire process from scratch and overwrite/replace the 3 files from the zip before I ever ran the application once installed.
I will probably just use the bios to control this for now, with a placeholder for the CPU until it eventually gets fixed. I looked over the BIOS controls and will post the picture below of what it looks like. I could not seem to find any option that would relinquish control to Fan Control:
(All 6 case fans are hooked up to a PWM hub that plugs into the motherboard header "SYS FAN 1")
I can't control non PWM fan (controls fine when I try in BIOS via Voltage) connected to my X870E Aorus Master MOBO. The fan won't change RPM in FanControl no matter what I try.
I see all sensors and can access the fans fine. I can control my PWM exhaust fan but not the Voltage driven fan.
The same exact fan was connected and working fine while it was connected in my old ASUS X570E MOBO.
I'm 100% sure I have no 3rd party fan control software running at the same time.
Just tested with Argus and it works fine.
The controller/sensor in question (as reported by Argus) is:
