Z87X-UD4H 4pin power auto 27%

[theDTP]

I've never had a Gigabyte board so maybe a few are like this and someone can help.

I have 4 fans connected to the motherboard but they only run at 27% until I boot, open App Center > Easy Tune > Smart Fan > Extreme and then they run 100%. Now I really don't want to be doing this every time I boot, also when I am in the bios tuning they run at 27% and this is an issue because my PSU fan recently broke and I've put a AF140 on there until I get a new PSU.
Anyone else had this issue with a Gigabyte board?

Anyway, before anyone says to get the required resistor cables and run from the PSU, yes that is an option, but I shouldn't really have to as they should auto run 12v unless told otherwise.

I will be buying a fan controller in the near future because I lost one of the front bay covers on my Storm Trooper so I need something to fill it in and why not a fan controller, Probably Lamptron FC8.

No idea about a Gigabyte board, but I have my rear intake connected to my MSI MPower motherboard, and I have the same problem. There are 2 ways to set mine up in control centre, Smart fan, where you have either 50%, 75%, or 100%, but if you turn of smart fan you get the fan curve. Whatever way I do it I have to reset it again on every start up. Sorry to hijack, mate, But we might be both able to get a solution in one thread.

It's fine on the hijack
This is so effing annoying! Also these temperatures with Haswell. I feel like throwing my old ASUS ROG IV Gene-z/Gen3 and 2500k back in and run 5GHz with not a worry and all fans working as they should.

I no mate it's a pain in the arse. I have heard that the temps are high on the Haswell, That's the main reason why I'm not upgrading. Haven't they got some vrm's built into the chip ?

Not sure what is built in but all I know is that with every generation there will more than likely less room to overclock due to heat, remember stock vs stock each generation gets 10% faster but the chips get smaller and hotter. I can get 4.4 easily with Haswell and it is more powerful than Sandy at 5.0 so I suppose I'll have to deal with it. By the way I fixed the fan problem, I had to disable the headers, so the motherboard says but really you are disabling the control so it just runs 12v I'll let you know exactly how when I look at the bios again later
