Finally, Swindon
Just fitted the fan controller, but have not connected the temperature probes

The led around the control dial won't stop flashing red, and it's getting a bit annoying.

The instructions that came with it are very poor, and the coolermaster website doesn't even report it as a product....it seems the site's under construction.

All the fans are spinning and it is reporting the rpms, and the fan speed changes on command, but the display when switched to the cpu fan is flashing the word OFF alongside the rpm reading (in fact the word OFF is appearing against all the fans...but maybe that's 'cos I haven't connected the temp probes)

Using my shaky powers of deduction, I guess that the unit thinks there is a problem with the cpu fan speed...hence the flashing...I'm sure if it had a klaxon, that would be sounding as well...it's probably informing big brother now that there's an idiot near Swindon who can't fit a fan controller

Help (there's only 6 buttons and one dial so it can't be that difficult :confused: )
 
I have one of these myself, to stop the flashing it needs rebooting, switch the pc off and leave it off for a minute, then switch it back on and that should reboot the fan controller. It will now ignore any rpm signals that give 0.
That way it only reports a fan failure rather than a disconnected fan.

You can push the main dial in to mute the buzzer. Hold the relevant button to adjust the alarm threshold temperature using the main dial.

There have been different versions of this fan controller over the years and some work differently to others, for example old ones could only take the fan voltage down to 5v.
 
Cheers for the reply Joe

Rebooted (with a big gap between off and on) and the thing's still flashing red

I'll just connect up the temp probes, but not place them anywhere and see if that solves the problem

Why they don't just give out better instructions, I don't know
 
Yes i agree about the instructions.

Supprised rebooting didn't fix it. I think it did with mine.
