Misbehaving Sharkoon 2000

I'm using a Sharkoon 2000 on my TRUE and up until recently, it's been running at 1,300RPM which has been perfect as it's keeps my CPU temps reasonably low but more importantly, it's fairly quiet.

However for some reason, it's just decided to start running at full blast which unless I have music on, is really irritating! I've checked the fan EQ in the BIOS and it's definitely enabled & from what I can tell, the fan shouldn't be running at 2,000RPM until the CPU temp this 60c and it's not even at 40c yet. Anybody had anything similar happen to them?

Ive met an asus board which turned the cpu fan so slowly that it refused to boot. Temperatures were fine, it just panicked that the fan had failed. kind of similar.

Does it run other fans at full speed, or change their speed with temperature? Your true will do just fine idle if you dont stress it, so it should be fairly easy to tell. Plug the scythe fan into a motherboard header if you dont want to leave it disconnected.

Cmos reset? I think its the motherboard at fault, not the fan. If its a 3 wire and not a 4 wire fan then its more likely again to be motherboard.

I know on my asus board its not possible to control the silent eagle 2000's of the cpu fan header, i ran 2 of theese on a TRUE, one on the cpu header and one on the power header. Recently switched to 2 4 pin pwm 400-1200 rpm silent eagles, on boot they start so slowly i get a cpu fan warning then f1 to continue boot.
