Hey!
My first post here, so please be gentle.
So i bought this used workstation loсally and it worked fine. When the system starts, the fans would speed up to a full speed for a few seconds and get back to a comfortable noise level.
Then i started tweaking the system - added a GPU, changed the BIOS settings etc. At some point i screwed up settings so much that i had to reset the BIOS. After that, the fans spin up to 100% and never get quiet.
I ran the FRUSDR procedure, but it doesn't help. I use the following set-up:
CPU_Fan1 - waterpump1 (3-pin connector)
CPU_Fan2 - waterpump2 (3-pin connector)
System_Fan5 - Fan1 (Connected through Deep Cool PWM hub)
System_Fan6 - Fan2 (Connected through Deep Cool PWM hub)
Here is the photo of the hub:
This information i provide in SDR setup, but the fans still run at 100% speed. Both pumps and fans use 3-pin connectors. I've read somewhere that intel can only regulate the speed on 4-pin PWM fans, but i know they were very quiet when i bought it with the same exact set-up. And they are quiet during first few seconds after powering the machine on.
So, the question is - what am i doing wrong? Should i use different connectors? Different settings?
P.S. I've ran the search before posting and there indeed were similar threads, but they didn't have the solution and the questions asked were a bit different.
