Zotac 9300 ITX smart CPU fan issue

rodo · 11 Dec 2010 at 17:07

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?

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

D-E, which I think is PCB 1

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/

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