Need fan speed controller 2

[DrB0b]

Not sure why my new build runs the fan 100% all the time from boot up. I put Speedfan on it but it doesnt open up upon startup to change the fan speed. The temp is only around 40C so I know it doesnt have to be on all the time or atleast not running full blast. I never noticed the issue until I took it to the office it now sits in, seemed to run fine when I first installed it. Upon initial setup, I did run the AMD cool n quiet driver and have since uninstalled.
Only thing I can think of that is different from when I moved it was I installed all the windows updates I could...

There could be a BIOS setting for target temperature or target fan speed. Look for some type of "smart fan control" setting in the BIOS versus "full bore, hard core all the time" dumb setting.

Will most definitely check that out, its the boss's PC and he is at it all the time now since I gave i to him so gunna have to wait until he is outa the office.
I did find an easy way to make Speedfan or any other .exe run on boot without going through regedit:
Go down to the Start button(or Windows logo for 7/Vista), click All Programs, go to the Startup folder and copy a shortcut to whatever .exe you are trying to get to run.

Also goomba, spot on as usual.

No problem there DrBob, sometimes 6 (or 8) eyes see more than just 2 (or 4)...
