Gigabyte Z87 Fan Control Options?

[Kougar]

Is there any means to control the fans on GB's Z87 boards other than Easytune? Easytune has not worked once and simply crashes when I attempt to launch it and I'm done with troubleshooting software that was just redesigned solely to work for this board.

SpeedFan isn't able to modify any fanspeeds, and the UEFI fan settings are pretty much useless for fine grained control. Are there any alternatives or even known bugs with Easytune?

Hi Kougar,

Could you please PM me. Thanks.

you will need to install all the system drivers and GPU drivers as well as .net framework to get easytune to launch in full capacity. Also it would be good to uninstall and re-install with the latest version from their site. You also need app center to launch easytune

I did read that and have installed all mainboard drivers and even the IGP driver even though it is disabled from UEFI. Net framework drivers "should" be up to date, but I'm not entirely sure on checking that one.

PM sent Sdougal, thank you!

I went through two installs of Windows to get the Gigabyte software to work. I found that the option to quick install all software was the best option. Just install all software and drivers (minus Norton if you wish) and everything should work.
