Zotac 9300 ITX smart CPU fan issue

[rodo]

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there with a Zotac 9300 ITX can verify if they have this issue. My smart CPU fan control works fine when I freshly boot up - IBT tops out at 64°.

However, if I put the computer to sleep, wake it up, then my smart CPU fan control no longer seems to work! Suddenly IBT tops out near 90°. To get smart CPU fan control to work again I have to restart my PC. (To clarify, the fan still runs after sleep but at a very low RPM).

Help

On inspection their download page (http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=120&Itemid=506) some of the bios updates mention low cpu fan speed on wake up being fixed. Does anyone know where I can find my PCB version?

it should be on the motherboard itself.

if not, CPU-z should tell you the board revision.

I have this board with the latest bios and the problem that you describe still exists. I have also read on forums that Zotac have not fixed the problem

That's rubbish. What method did you use to update the bios out of interest?

there are several variations of the 9300 ITX, which one do you have?

D-E, which I think is PCB 1

I'm fairly certain that you have the non overclocked version. I think I upgraded the bios using a usb floppy drive.

Iv never got mine to work on my I-E.

For all those with this issue, there is a bios which now solves this: http://www.zotacusa.com/forum/topic/3603-speedfan-goes-away-after-s3-sleep/

Surprising to see that Zotac are still supporting the initial 9300-D-E ITX. This could convince me to buy more boards from them!

Yeah it's good to see, took them long enough to find a fix though!
