Incorrect fan reporting for certain motherboards, potential solution
FlashLightning67 opened this issue · 2 comments
Certain motherboards have an issue with LHM where it doesn't accurately report the RPM as shown here However, this issue is oddly resolved by opening certain monitoring software, such as CPU-Z or CPUID HWMonitor. This issue, of course, translates to fan control as well, making these motherboards (mostly ASUS it seems) unusable.
While the root issue is with LHM, they don't seem to be able to fix it. Is it possible for fan control to incorporate a solution that could cause LHM to start working, similar to what CPU-Z manages to somehow do?
If I knew exactly what's the issue, I would address it in LHM directly.
Ah my bad.
I'm not sure if such a jank solution is within the scope of this project, but could some sort of functionality be added to just open and close CPU-Z whenever sensors aren't detected, as an opt in feature for users with motherboards with this issue? This can be done to an extent with task scheduler, but this issue crops up at weird times and having fan control do it whenever there is a problem could be helpful
