SpeedFan doesn't work anyone since I installed my motherboard drivers..

Anyone know of any alternatives? I've googled it already with no success. MSI Afterburner only controls my GPU fan, and the one making noise is the processor fan, which is constantly running at 100% for whatever reason, when it's at a comfortably freezing temperature in my room right now.

Should Bios handle that automatically?

Apparently not. My fans are running at 100% constantly, apart from the GPU fan, which I can directly control with MSI Afterburner.

Used to be able to do the same with the other ones, as I said before. But once I installed the drivers, SpeedFan didn't work anymore. I tried uninstalled and reinstalling, figuring the driver change might have caused issues, but no go with that either.

Believe me, I'm not new when it comes to computers, but things like this are beyond me.

I also have Everst installed, which is a monitoring program and might be overriding it, but that wouldn't make sense because I used it before with that installed while the drivers for the motherboard weren't installed.

Could always get something like:

Only issue then is that you don't get speed monitoring. More expensive fan controllers offer a LED/LCD readout of fan speeds.
