GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

[Griff7520]

Hi all

Just returned to a trusty Gigabyte motherboard after a spell with the Z77 Mpower. I bought the board yesterday and I must say it is a great piece of kit....If i knew how to oc it it would be even better lol. May need help with that later ;).

Does anyone have a problem with the fan speed not showing in bios. I have 5 fans connected but only fan 5 shows speed. I would like to try and manually control the fans but cant at the moment. I have the latest F6 bios installed.

thanks in advance.

All drivers installed?

In BIOS/MIT/PC Healt Status display like this ?:



Run Easy Tune and check,also.
Latest HWiNFO and AIDA64 Beta working as well.

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

Use latest LinX 0.6.5 (11.1.0.002)...with "All" memory preset:
LinX-0.6.5 (11.1).zip

or Prime95v.28.1 Build 2 (64-bit)

or in latest AIDA64 ....Preference/General..Memory block size....at least 1GB.
Then you will know.

Seems to be fine...set 1gb memory in general settings....I was playing cod4 for an hour before this test without any problems....maybe I have a decent chip?

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

You didn't use latest AIDA64.

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

I am using the latest edition 3.00.2500 as per aida website...or do you mean a beta version?

[Griff7520]

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

ok...downloaded the beta version and is running test now as I type....seems to be running the same as on the other aida version....nice temps and stable

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

Since 3.00.2590, AIDA64 is specificly tune for Gigabyte 8-Series boards.

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

so where do you get that from....as it is not on the useful overclocking software page on these forums?

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

my board seems very stable so far.....the only thing is the cpu voltage seems to be staying at 1.216....at least thats is what cpu-z and aida is telling me....in easytune though it is lowering voltage with load which is what i want it to do...is easytune correct or is cpuz correct?

[stasio]

Re: GA-Z87X-OC Fan issue

Easy Tune is correct.
CPU-Z 1.64.0 works only OK......and latest AIDA64,HWiNFO...
