Hi,

I have a X399 Taichi mobo and 4 chassis fans to cool my case. All of them are 3-pin. I just installed A-tuner to try and tune their speeds in the "FAN-Tastic Tuning" tab.

The first problem I encountered is that only cha_fan2 fan header can control the fan speeds and all other fan headers (cha_fan1, cha_fan3, cpu_opt) are running my fans at full speed no matter what I do in the graph. Why is that? I tried 3 different fan models (all of them Fractal Design) and the result is the same - can't control their speed on headers different than cha_fan2.

The other problem is that I don't get any RPM reading at cha_fan2, it says "0" in BIOS, A-Tuning and HWMonitor. All other fan headers report the speeds fine.

How can I resolve these issues? Thanks in advance! Smile

I have a similar issue but I'm using 4 pin fans. The CPU_FAN1 and CHA_FAN3 headers are controlling the speed without issue but CHA_FAN2 (bottom one next to the RGB header) Is running at full speed all the time...
No matter what I set in the BIOS of in that excuse of a program A-Tuning...
