Post by: dreamer on July 14, 2012, 11:58:49 am
Hello, i have this mb http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2755#ov and i need Easy Tune 6 for slowing down the fan speed a little cuz' it's very noisy (stock cooler).

Now, when i try to install easy tunes 6, i get this:" Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files (x86)\ET6\Flash11e.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147220473. Contact your support personnel"

I have AM2 socket, running windows 7. Somebody can help me, please ?  :'( :'(

Hi there,

I'm not sure if I am correct but I think you need to use EasyTune5 with your motherboard not EasyTune6.

You can download EasyTune5 from here: http://www.gigabyte.com/MicroSite/121/tech_20041125_px_et5.htm but before you install it, make sure you delete EasyTune6 from your system.

You can always use SpeedFan - much better than ET6. I found ET6 very resource intensive (Latency Monitor hated it).

Just Google SpeedFan.

Note that it is fairly easy to use in its simplest sense. I found that I had to do some tuning of my I/O chip to actually get it to work for my MB (your link seems to go nowhere right now so I have no idea of what MB you have).

Even better - if you have a Phenom CPU is a program called "PhenomMSRTweaker" (again Google it). For the AMD K10 CPUs I was able to set up a profile that allowed me complete Cool&Quite control. I now run my 1090T at a low power level (X4 - 800 MHz) and turn OFF my CPU cooler altogether. Using PhenomMsrTweaker and SpeedFan - most of the time I run at X4 with the fans OFF. As the load increases it ramps up to overclock range (20X - 4 GHz) and turns on the fans appropriately. (A bit of work to get there - but well worth it in my case).

@blackie, thx for answering !

My MB is GA-M61PME-S2. I've tried to use Speed fan but nothing happens.....

I have AMD Athlom x64 5000+ 2.61 Ghz, whith a "super-sonic" stock cooler....

Look here, some ss with speedfan:

Looking at the images you have not selected the check box "Automatic fan speed". Without that checked - nothing will happen except monitoring.

Even when you do select it - things might still not happen. On my mother board I had to change a I/O chip setting to "Software Controlled".

Setting to "Software Controlled" involves knowing what I/O chip controls your fans. First you select "Configure" from the main screen. Then the "Advanced" tab. Then select the I/O chip (in my case "IT8720F at $228 on ISA". Then select each of the PWM n modes and change them to "Softwaare Controlled". Your board might be way different than mine.

Alternatively - you could look at the mother boards already working on the SpeedFan web site. He has a couple of Gigabyte boards (and I tried to add mine but do not know how successful that was).

Note that all of this fiddling is  a bit intimidating.
