#Fans going crazy - idle- no reason

I do!
icue always gives me issues.. but one moment 🙂
currently it died and now my keyboard is not lighting up ahha
oh god haha
believe so yep!
looks like #1 #3 are going mental
and on the gfx card 1 and 2 are at 0 :O?
okay, so I need to remember what iCue looks like again, You should have a area where you can access Fan Control
Under devices you should have a fan hub or something of the sorts
This is normal, GPU fans only start spinning whilst under load, no worries
looking for a fan control
it'll be under devices and then a fan hub you have to select
when I had a corsair system it was a commander pro, but it could be different for CPUK systems
hmmm
ahhhh, is the AF120's non RGB? or static LED
if so they aren't icue compatiable, and it requires to use mobo control
what motherboard do you have?
ah i think my corsairs are non RGB.
MOTHERBOARD: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI: ATX w/ PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 6E, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2
yeah that explains why it's not in iCue, so gotta control it via a different method
lemme see
Download MSI Centre and it's User Scenario
You can control your fans in there, to be fair, I'm not sure if they have to be PWM, you can see though.
Top right there's 4 squares
Then you scroll down the feature sets until you see User Scenario
installing 🙂
If this doesn't work we can just do it directly in the bios, no worries there.
whats weirded me out of everything, is this system was fantasicly silent and fine, and out the blue its gone loud
Maybe your CMOS reset?
whats this mean? XD
Go into take manager and go to performance, RAM and then take a screenshot
Go to memory
Looks fine.
Ok, back to fan control we go
On Sys fan 2, click on the little cog and take a screenshot
:tada: Congrats @outer pewter, you levelled up to 3! :tada: 
I have a suspicion of what is happening
Do you have discord on your phone so we can work with you while in the bios?
i do 🙂
Great! Shut down the computer, turn it on and mash the DEL key on your keyboard till you get into the bios.
Press F7 for me
Then head over to hardware monitor
hot damn that curve
Nah it's fine for CPU
This bad? 🤣
Go to system fan 2

Sorry this is all new to me. I've no idea about this stuff haha
I pressed defaults and nothings changed
I guess it was all at default in the first place
What is confusing me is system 3 was showing up in Corsair, but now isn't in motherboard control.
Hmm.
Okay. It's all the way up. And nothings changing.
No noise difference at all?
Nope exactly the same.
Low and also no change
These fans are maxed out at 1500rpm - why is it being so weird and saying they can go to 15000?
Alright, I apologise but this is an issue I really don't know how to solve.
Awh that's okay!
You can continue using your system and get into contact with support on Monday.
atleast the system won't be overheating

Please ensure to include as much information about your query as possible, and ensure to include your order number if you require after-sales support.
Yeah it's very annoying..
Ey with the amount of air those fans are kicking out that's gonna keep that cold haha
Yeah, they will resolve it very fast.
I really hope they can help solve it haha 🙂
it'll be resolved as fast as those fans
It's only been doing it since last night when I was tinkering around with iPad jailbreaking.
I flashed a usb.
Then boot from usb. (Fans kicked up)
I was in something called Checkra1n and Grub. (No idea)
Then since the fans stuck like this.
I don't know if it is correlated but that doesn't seem too good.
No worries, sadly we could help though 
I’m thinking whether Pwm/dc fan mode might make a difference here
On my PC the fans don’t have speed adjustment in dc mode
You also need smart fan mode or the fans run at a fixed speed
These are DC fans
Guys - what's the difference between pwm and pc fan?
Because.. I just switched it over to Smart fan Mode and PWM and it's now back to Whisper quite!!! But... I don't wanna overheat it or cause issues?
And I don't know which of these I want smart fan Mode on or not
and what RPM should my CPU be running at? 😮
:tada: Congrats @outer pewter, you levelled up to 4! :tada: 
You sure? haha everything is silent once again now, but i dont know which i want ..
Smart Mode on, and which i want to change to PWM or DC?
CPU fan seems to be running high?
4026RPM on CPU
PUMP Fan1 is 1400ish
that may be your AIO/pump
Yea it would be
So EVERY fan smart fan mode?
okie dokie 🙂 thanks!
Now to work out why my iCUE never works on my rbg keyboard lmao
Thats just icue!
yeah my keyboard is not showing up
try restarting icue
Cyberpower have a script that they put on all their PCs to reset iCue, you could give that a try:
RESETTING ICUE TO DEFAULT VALUES
This article will give you some troubleshooting steps in order to reset Corsairs ICUE software.
If you're having issues with your Corsair branded fans, sometimes they can be caused by the software itself, there are some super easy steps you can take to try and resolve the issues without touching the hardware itself.
Please check in your C: drive you should have a file called "RestoreICUE.bat" locate this file and be ready (orders received after 27/6/2023 can find it inside of the CPUK Technical Support' folder). Please close ICUE COMPLETELY, you can do this by opening task manager and ending the processes OR expand the taskbar to show the hidden icons (this is the small arrow in the bottom right of your display) then right click and close ICUE. Now we can go back to the "RestoreICUE.bat", right-click and run this file as administrator. Give it 5 minutes then you can re-open ICUE and see how it behaves.If this does not fix the problems you're having then Corsair actually recommend a clean reinstallation of the ICUE utility engine, here is a link to Corsairs own article about that:
