Have you got cool n quiet on?

I've got this cooler on a Msi board and works fine. Had it for the last 3 months and never had any probs with it. Sounds like you got a program running like cool n quiet thats regulating the speed of the fan depending on temps. Find out which piece of software it is and turn it off and you should be fine and able to regulate the rpm by the dial.

lo cheers for the quick response :]
cool and quiet is deffo turned off in the bios
this cooler worked fine on my neo plat 2 b4 i upgraded which is annoying
the only other thing in me bios i can c is cpu fan fully on if >25 degrees
cpu fan off if<25 degrees

when we put the new system together we turned the threshold for cpu fan up and it was still happening?

still dont know what to do,and if upgrading to a diff cooler will solve this?
