GA-G31M-ES2L rev 1 fans not speeding up when 3d apps started
« on: January 21, 2010, 08:52:00 am »
Hi everyone,

I have the GA-G31M-ES2L intel based mobo and it seems that after that after the motherboard comes out of sleep mode (windows 7 btw) I start up a 3d game like borderlands and the fans don't increase in speed as the cpu and gpu start to heat up. I can literally hear them staying the same speed and not increasing rpm. Obviously this then affects the frame rate after I've played a few minutes as it really becomes annoying. Is there any fix for this? I have also disabled the options I can see in the bios that would slow down the processor if it gets hot because I want my full processor speed (I obviously need this for gaming).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
You can check your fan speeds and temps in SPEEDFAN a free download
or you can use easytune 6 from gigabyte website that will give yiou realtime data,
Have you set fans in bios to auto?
cheers
