Okay, ever since I have started using my dad's Q6600. Every now and then, the computer will randomly spin all fans up to full speed.
I'm using asus Q-fan on Turbo mode, as I've found that ramps the CPU fan up nicely with temps.
Talking of which, the Q6600's temps seems to be 10*C too low.
I have tried loads of different bios's. I'm really stumped as to what it is. I never had this on my E6600. Its almost like Q-fan suddenly shuts off. On some bioses, the CPu temp would shoot up by 20*C at the same time, but on the latest beta, the temp remains constant, just the fans that spin up.
It can be fixed by simply rebooting, but its damn annoying.
I know there is nothing wrong with the CPU temp sensor as it reports fine in another mobo. Funny thing is, the bios that the board shipped with made my E6600 temps 10*C too high, then after an update all was fine.
This rant prob doesnt make sense. I'll prob edit it as I re-read it and try to explain better.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S.
Note to the mods, although the title looks like its a mobo issue, I put it in gen HW cus its only doing this with the Q6600 and not the E6600, so I thought it could e either CPU, Mobo related (or other! )
