    Very low CPU temps, resulting in fan stuck at low rpm

    I can run the fan at full speed from CPU_FAN with no problems if I disable Q-FAN, but it just hurts my ears at 2700 rpm. The problem comes from the Winbond sensor which gives false readings for the CPU temp, which is used by the PWM. It is a possible that the PSU is faulty, as I saw the CPU temp...

    Very low CPU temps, resulting in fan stuck at low rpm

    I'm not sure I understand what you mean. The CPU fan is plugged into the 4-pin CPU_FAN connector. Other fan connectors on this MB model: CHA_FAN 1-2, PWR_FAN (3-pin). Below is the layout for a P5Q PRO (couldn't find the Vanilla model that I have), which has an additional PCIe x16 slot.

    Very low CPU temps, resulting in fan stuck at low rpm

    Thank you for your answers. Yeah, I know it's a sticky issue and that the MB might be on its way out, I'm using computers for more than 20 yrs now. I'm not concerned about the temps being too high, but too low. Also, this problem seem to have started a few days ago, and the CPU temp went lower...

    Very low CPU temps, resulting in fan stuck at low rpm

    Hello, I'm having this problem lately with the CPU temp (not the cores, these temps are reported correctly and are into the low 40s on idle), it's most of the times detected as low as 1-5 degrees (Celsius). I did not made any changes I can remember other than replacing a faulty HDD with new...
