Hi, on this recently built system on an Asus P8Z77-V LX board, I have 2 chassis fans and the cpu fan attached to the fan headers on the board itself. I can control and monitor them through Qfan, but heres the problem.
One of the chassis fans shows a spiking rpm in the bios every couple seconds. It goes from 800 rpm - 19000 rpm (ridiculous) and back. I have watched and listened to it, and it seems to be running very smoothly, so it's obviously a sensor issue. But could this cause problems? Is it possible the board is trying to feed extra voltage to the fan intermittently, or would this likely be just a sensor issue? I would hate for the fan header to burn out or something. (This computer is for someone else, so I can't keep a close eye on it once I give it to them)
The rpm's don't spike when I turn Qfan off and let the fan run full speed, but I need to throttle it.
