iCUE singe fan controlling error and temp sensor?

[Inoeie]

I have 6 fans installed and only one of them is not being controlled properly. They are all on the same profile but this one only will not follow the RPM of all the other.

 

 

Also I have a temperature sensor installed and its giving me a super high readout even though its on the outside of the case. It is impossible that my room is 100oc.

Is there anything I can do about this or is it a bug on a version?

Try switching the fans so that the bugged fan #1 is for example in the 3rd fan header.

Is it now still the 1st fan that's bugged or the third?

Also, try another thermistor.

 

For fan speed control, btw, a thermistor in the case around your warmest area is a better control variable than CPU temperature.

Even if I have a CPU and GPU loop? I feel ambient temperature would be better but if its 90+ at all times then its useless to me.

Package temp tends to be jumpy giving you erratic fans speeds as well. Obviously you addressed that with a very flat case fan curve and if that works for you, then good.

 

The suggestion was to make them more reactive to actual need through thermistor measurements, which also works when the software is not active (boot, wake, etc.) keeping the normal 'fan blast' away. One of my prior builds was full water all radiator exhaust and my case ambient had a whopping 2C range, so correct, that would make for a terrible control variable. Another way to attack the problem is to run the thermistor to the exhaust side of the relevant/desired radiator. Usually you can slip it behind without actually taking the wire outside the case. Exhaust temp off the radiator will be effectively the same as coolant temperature, so this is useful for custom loops or as another check on AIO coolant temps. It also makes sense for radiator fan control (if not AIO controlled) or even the intake fans so they match the total exhaust volume of the radiator fans. Just another way to try if desired. I still do this, but really liked it when I was running a top exhaust AIO and a single 120mm hybrid GPU cooler. Much better fan control for the 120mm fan(s) and then I could balance the front intake fans with the GPU load without needing the software to be active.
