    CM 212+ fan runs only at top speed

    lehtv, thank you for your helpful response. I went into the BIOS and checked the CPU Q-Fan Function. I have never explicitly set that, but noticed that it was set to Disabled (the default is Enabled). I then set the CPU Q-Fan Mode to Standard (also the default). It had been set to Turbo...

    CM 212+ fan runs only at top speed

    The fan on my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus has just started running only at top speed (approx 2014) regardless of the CPU temp. The MB is an ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 with a mildly o/c Phenom 1055T. The idle temp is 31C. Up until recently, the fan ran as expected, very slowly during idle and...

    Microphone problem w/ ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

    No, I never did get the mic inputs working. I've since bought a logitech webcam (C310, I think) that includes a mic and that works well, just like the logictech headset. It also connects via USB rather than the mic inputs. It's possible that the mics I've been trying do not generate a...

    Microphone problem w/ ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

    Update: I connected a Logitech Headset (connected via USB) and its mic and headphones worked perfectly. I was able to record w/ audacity and the result was excellent. So I don't understand the significance of the fact that the usb connection works fine, but the audio input jack (neither rear...

    Microphone problem w/ ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

    Per you suggestions: Disconnected front panel cable -->No change. Tried AC97 Connector-->No change, except system did not detect mic when plugged into front panel jack. So not much progress, but did eliminate some possibilities. Thanks for taking the time to respond and for your suggestions...

    Microphone problem w/ ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

    Manticorps, thanks for your speedy reply. As you suggest, worth a shot. I will give that a try. BTW, for the Anttec 300 front panel audio, I'm currently currently using the the HDA connector. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking that perhaps I should be using the legacy AC97 connector (and maybe...

    Microphone problem w/ ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

    M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 MOBO in new build works great except that microphone input using either rear panel or front panel is poor. Volume is very low unless I adjust RealTek sliders in which case background noise becomes loud and completely unacceptable. Speaker output is fine. Same microphone works...
