smc fan control not running fans full speed

As soon as you do anything that would trigger the fans to go full speed (opening a demanding application, or whatever it may be) they stay full speed indefinitely until shutdown even if computer is at idle with no programs open. I reset windows completely, updated everything again, and same issue. Update: I called Asus support and they basically just told me I had already done everything they would recommend: update drivers, update windows, update myasus app, bios etc. In this case, to cure this fan craziness, i need to power the motherboard off completely and power back up to reload everything. It's very frustrating to have very little control over what the BIOS is applying compared to desktop MB which give you much more access and customisability.Īnd for the restart business, the restart option doesn't power your computer down but simply shuts the OS down and reloads it (all the while the fans still keep blowing my house away).

The problem with this BIOS on this laptop is that you can hardly do anything and it's more of a monitoring thing than an actual control center. I have built several computers and have often had to deal with weird issues out of the box, but that's with desktop computers with large UEFIs.

No, the fans go crazy right after start-up or after a wake up from sleep (but once again it's only occasional), all the while the components are sitting at idle usages and frequencies (it's also perfectly cool air being exhausted). Thanks for the attention you are giving me,
