Z87 OC Formula Customize fan Problem

Hi guys

I newly have problem with my Z87 OC Formula in Customize Fans, already was correct
CPU Fan 1(4-pin Connector) Customize just works on the 4-pin fans(PWM/RPM) and Customize none works with the 3-pin fans and also 3-pin fans stay on full speed even Silent Selected on the Bios!

CPU Fan 2(3-pin Connector) none work in Customize, only works by options (Silent, Standard, Performance, Full Speed)

Chasis Fan 1(4-pin Connector) it has the same problem similar the CPU Fan 1
Cha Fan 2, 3, 4 have same problem like the CPU Fan 2

I Changed the Bios version to any versions(Update, Upgrade, Downgrade) and Installed the Windows 7,8.1,10 and reassemble CPU(New CPU) & Ram but problem stands

I'm so confused, I think this is hardware problem

Does anybody have idea about it?

I using of deepcool, enermax and xigmatek case fan and H80i GT Water Cooler, all connected to Cha Fan 1,2,3 except water cooler, it is connected to Cpu Fan 2 and I already said were true and this is problem newly.

Cpu Fan 2 cannot work in Customize the H80i GT pump and fan's

First Cha Fan 1 the trouble getting and respectively others

Thank you for your great explanation
You saying the CPU Fan 1 and Cha Fan 1 only can do Customize for 4-pin fan's not 3-pin fan's, it's okay BUT Cha Fan 2,3,4 why cannot customize for 3-pin fans?

I said already were correct and this is problem newly.

These are exactly my fan's and the connected to 3-pin Connectors(Chasis 2,3,4)

Care to try something?

Can you set/adjust the 3-pin fans from within the Windows program Fan-Tastic EDIT that ASRock supplies?

I'm not sure how Customize is not working for you for the Chassis 2, 3, and 4 fans. I mean I don't know what is not working right for you. I have an idea why that I will talk about, but some other comments first.

The three fans you are using are fine and should work with your board's fan control software. I have a Z87 OC Formula board, so I know how it works.

In case you don't know, all PC fans do not work the same. Some fans will start spinning with only 5 Volts, others will need 7 Volts or 9 Volts before they will spin. There is no standard for how PC fans behave, they are all different in how slow and fast they can spin.

Since you have three different fans, each one will need to be adjusted for its own behavior.

In the FAN-Tastic Tuning screen you posted pictures of, there is a button you can click called Start FAN Test. I can tell you did not do that, since if you did you would see a Fan Speed (RPM) for each Fan Power %. This is what wardog was talking about.

For each fan, click on FAN Test. It will take a few minutes to run. You will hear the fan go to full speed and then slowly slow down. When the test is done, the fan will automatically run at full speed, that is normal. When that happens, click on the Apply button and your Customize settings will be applied to the fan. You should hear it slow down.

Let's look at your Customize fan speed settings for the Chassis fans. This is what one of my Customize settings looks like in FAN-Tastic Tuning:



CPU temperature is on the bottom (X-axis) of the graph, and Fan Speed % is on the vertical line (Y-axis). At 30C the fan is set to run at 55% of its full speed. At 40C it is set to 60%, at 50C it is 70%, at 60C it is 80%, and at 80C it will run at 100%.

Your Chassis Fan2 settings are, at 32C the fan runs at 25%, at 35C it is 53%, at 38C it is 75%, and at 41C it is 100%. So from 32C to 41C, the fan goes from 25% to 100%.

That's less than a 10 degree C difference between 25% speed to 100% speed. Is that what you really want that fan's speed to be?

The temperature differences are too close together, they need to be farther apart like I have mine in my picture. CPU temperature can change very quickly between 30C and 40C, up and down, over and over. The fan speed control does not have enough time to adjust the fan speed with that small difference between 25% and 100%.

I think you have the fan speeds set to closely together for all your fans. Try setting the fan speeds farther apart in CPU temperature, at least 10C for each fan speed change.

Do you need to have your fans at 100% at a CPU temperature of 40C? That is really not very hot for an Intel CPU. If you can tell us why you want to have your fans so fast at 40C - 45C, we might be able to understand how you want your fans to work.
