Hi,

I have a gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R. For some reason, system fan 2 (which I am using for my exhaust fan) is running very slow - around 200rpm, I have tried things like speed-fan to adjust it but to no avail. The fan is an apache.

Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do?

Thanks
 
try plugging it into a different socket on the board?
try disabling the fan control in the BIOS settings?

is it really running slow or maybe just the speed is indicated as slow in error?
 
Did you use speed fan correctly you know that you have to go into the advanced settings and make it controllable by software?
 
Thanks for your replies,

The fan works perfectly fine in another socket, however I would like to be abel to use all sockets. It is now plugged into another socket, and is -according to speedfan- running at around 1300rpm. No matter what fan I plug into sys_fan2, it will always go slow.

I followed an online tutorial for speedfan, so I think that I am adjusting it correctly.
 
I dont have this speedfan thing you mentioned, Sandra does report my system fan as running at 66RPM when it shows as running at 1100RPM in the BIOS (and it definately running a LOT faster than Sandra is reporting) so maybe some software doesnt pickup the information properly in some instances?
 
Sys_Fan2 is volted at 5v on my Gigabyte UD5 motherbard, that's why it runs your fan slow. Check your manual for confirmation.
 
On my gigabyte p55-us3l I have similar issues with that fan jumper; I in fact don't use it as I am not sure how to fix it! Not sure why this is happening. It is a bit crap though! Maybe I have missed a BIOS setting, I don't think so though!
