First of all I built a new system about 3 weeks ago, I don't mess with overclocking but two days ago one of my fans became noisy.
WD40'd it but no luck so did a bit of Google'ing and came across Speedfan however my Speedfan looks nothing like the screenshots I've seen, just wondering why?
Obviously the bottom picture is off Google Images

I came across FanControl and I've been able to stop the noise so happy but now confused why Speedfan doesn't show everything.

Exactly :cry:. So why would you use an App in Windows over doing it properly in the BIOS :( :confused:

because Windows

So what you're saying is that the one fan I'm having a problem with on the front of my case isn't good enough to be turned down by FanControl in real time so the annoying noise goes away?
You're saying BIOS is much superior to turn that down by a small amount?
In Windows you hear fans speed up and down depending on the process where in BIOS I thought I'd turned it low enough but it wasn't.

I tried BIOS before the software but I was back and forth depending on what I was doing in Windows, FanControl sorted it.

I can't speak for others but the reason I use Fan Control is that it allows you to manage fan speeds based on temperature readings from sources that the BIOS can't see (eg HDD temps). It also allows you to adjust individual fan speeds based on information from multiple different sources, which can be useful.

You can even get plugins for hardware that Fan Control doesn't recognise out of the box - I have some SAS drives connected to an LSI HBA, and there's a plugin for Aida64 which can read these drives' temperatures although Fan Control itself doesn't.

You'd really have to try it yourself to see what it can do - it's way more sophisticated than any BIOS-managed fan controls I've seen, although I do appreciate it's probably overkill for most setups.

Careful dude, he'll say you're rude if you disagree with him.

However, he is simply trying to adjust a fan, something that any BIOS can do on the fly, it is pretty much real time how quickly you hear the ramping up/down when tweaking the profile, then it 'just works' forever regardless of OS/System or App updates.

However it doesn't unless you can get in the BIOS from Windows.
I told you I adjusted in the BIOS but when I went into Windows and put my PC into a heavy load the fans speed up.
 
It worked in BIOS, worked in Windows while i was browsing but as soon as i was doing some heavy work the fan started up again, soon as i stopped it slowed down again.
FanControl solved it.
And you're being rude with your childish laughing emojis when I told you the problem.
And i changed the post to explain the problem more since you weren't getting it.
