Hello all,
As some of you have already noticed there are some serious issues with fan profiles in Fan Xpert4 not being properly remembered where ghosting yellow dots are observed. So I have fiddled around a bit more and I can reproduce quite simply the issue with the Fan Xpert profile changing.
- Go into Fan Xpert4 and select your personal Profile (for example) 'Quiet'. This will show in my case chassis fans 2 and 3 as:
- Go into your power settings and change your 'Turn off the display:' setting to
- Wait for 1 minute
- Observation: Watch your screen turn off AND WATCH AS ALL CHASSIS + HAMP fans grind to a halt!! (yes, that includes crucial water pump).
- Click your mouse to reawaken your PC..
- Observation: Watch your screen turn back on and watch as chassis + hamp fans turn on again.. but read on.
- Go into Fan Xpert4 and watch the 'ghosting' issue where speeds are running different from set profile (chassis fans 2, 3):
Observe supposed speed (ghosted yellow dot) and current speed (full yellow dot).
- Go/stay in Fan Xpert4 and click on 'Standard' (profile)
- Observe yellow dots for chassis fans:
The yellow dots are in the *same* position in both screenshots from the custom profile and in the standard profile!!
What we can conclude from this:
- turn off monitor feature in Windows 10 triggers
Suggestion to fix:
- Do not let the software shut down all fans when monitor is turned off!
- Create possibility to set a profile as 'Default' profile. Let the software always (re-)start Fan Xpert in the set 'Default' profile.
I am really concerned about the issue. If the fans are running a bit lower than they should due to 'Standard' profile being activated, I can live with that . I can not live with that when the monitor is shut off and a heavy program is running in the background, putting load on CPU and pushing up temps, to have my PC shut down due to thermal problems and high rising temps b/c my waterpump and fans are shut off!!! Or worse.
If more information is needed, I am running Maximus X Hero, BIOS 1602, with Windows 10 fully up to date. Any questions, pls contact me.
Kind Regards,
LD

- turn off monitor feature in Windows 10 triggers
- Shutdown off all fans except cpu/cpu opt fan
- Change actual fan profile to Standard but show visually the last set/custom fan profile

- Do not let the software shut down all fans when monitor is turned off!
- Create possibility to set a profile as 'Default' profile. Let the software always (re-)start Fan Xpert in the set 'Default' profile.
