Intel Motherboards : Only CHA_FAN1 working

I understand that CHA_FAN3 is not adjustable since there is no option in the BIOS, but I can adjust the speed of CHA_FAN2.

I've tried every percent % at all temps, using CPU source and motherboard source, yet the fan on CHA_FAN2 is running at 100%. Currently I can only adjust the speed of CHA_FAN1, quite disappointed.

No I have no utility/tuning programs. Everything is set in BIOS.


Unless the CHA_FAN2 header is not working, that does not make sense. The CM Jetflo is a four pin PWM fan, and the Sickleflow is a three pin voltage controlled fan.

We've heard reports that the four pin fan headers on the more budget oriented boards are only working in PWM mode, so the Jetflow at least should work on the CHA_FAN2 header.

Are you using the low noise adapter cable with the Jetflo fan? That makes it the equivalent of a three pin voltage controlled fan.

As a test, try installing your board's A-Tuning program. The FANTastic Tuning feature in it has a Fan Test button on each of the fan header screens. Select the CHA_FAN2 header screen and run the Fan Test by clicking that button. Try the Jetflo without the low noise adapter, the normal four pin connection. You should easily hear the Jetflo (I have several) at full speed, which is how the test starts. It then reduces the speed of the fan to its minimum speed, which also should be audible.

When the Fan Test is complete, the fan will again run at full speed. You must click the Apply button to select the fan speed profile on the screen, which by default matches the setting in the UEFI/BIOS. You could try the same thing with the three pin Sickleflo.

Please let us know what results you get.

Ok I'll try that tomorrow morning. On CHA_FAN1, the speed control works no matter it's Jetflo with or without silent adapter, SickleFlow works well too so I guess the board can control it with voltage or PWM. However, on CHA_FAN2 nothing works.

*Thunderbolt connection to be used with a audio interface for recording music.

Hi,

I have an ASRock Z170 gaming K6 motherboard with 7.2 version BIOS and installed a ASRock Thunderbolt 2 AIC card into the PCIE6 slot.

  1. I connected the TBT Header Cable from my Thunderbolt card to my motherboards TB1 connection.
  2. Then connected the dongle in back from the Thunderbolt card to my video card display port.
  3. Then I went into BIOS under advanced and enabled the Thunderbolt. (I didn't touch the security level setting.) When I saved changes in BIOS and rebooted I lost all my video and had to do a CMOS reset to get my graphics back. (I couldn't even see the bios loading on boot until I reset CMOS.)


Is there something I missed or did wrong?

Thanks


The instructions describe three jumpers on the rear of the Thunderbolt card, J16, J17, and J18.

In some cases, you may need to move all three jumpers from their default positions:



The description of the pin location seems to contradict itself, compared to the jumper pictures. It seems to state pins 2-3 are the default, but shows the jumper on pins 1-2 as the default.

Whatever pins the jumpers are on now, move all three of them to the other position.

If you can, let us know what pins the jumpers are on by default.

Please let us know if this works for you or not.




Intel Motherboards : Serial number confusion :( Letter O or Zero?

Hi everyone, sorry to bring up something unrelated to the motherboard itself but I've been trying to complete a rebate and I'm having trouble figuring out if the letter I'm looking at is a number zero or a capital letter "o." 

This is a Z170 Extreme6 motherboard, if anyone can give me a hint I'd be grateful. I don't want the rebate to go awry because of this.

The number goes something like this (will fill in some numbers with "#"

##MOXE####O5

I tried comparing the two "O's" but they look the same to me. 

Both the one in the "word" MOXE and the one in O5

Then again it could be two zeroes.

It's the same on this picture (from ASRock website). All of the round symbols look the same. Do you think these are all letter O's or all zeroes?


Same thing here

Most if not all current memory has XMP programmed onto their SPD chip.


Consider ASRock's Memory QVL as a starting point. The QVL's represent what ASRock had in-house of memory at the time of pre-production. There is no way humanly possible for a MB manufacturer to keep current a QVL considering the rampant expansion of DDR4 P/N's and kits. Now the memory manuf's have some serious skin in the game to sell you their products after you've chosen a motherboard.

Using the mem manuf's links below you're guaranteed they have tested those displayed as they have deemed compatible.

Use the below tools to find compatible memory for your motherboard.

Zero, as in 0


As it is confusing, 0 vs O, most if not all manufacturers do not use the letter O

Thanks Wardog! That's good to know :) 

It does look more like a zero than a letter o now that you mention it, but definitely confusing if one thinks there are both letter o's and zeroes. My dad was pretty positive it was a letter but I figured I'd find out for sure :)

Why is everyone so quick to lay blame on the motherboard, regardless if it is an ASRock or others motherboard .........

Have you looked in the User Manual to determine what that 99 represents?

After you do, come back and reply with the part number of the component it, 99, refers to.


We'll need that PN to help you further.

Thank you! This is great info.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any ASRock H110/H170 motherboards on the manufacturers lists which are compatible with 2400/2666 speed DDR4. I did, however, find that the ASUS H170i-Pro is listed as compatible with Kingston HyperX 2666 DDR4. 

I guess that means ASRock's non-Z overclock isn't officially supported by ASRock, and it's only a beta function. That is sad, I was hoping to support ASRock by purchasing one of their motherboards, but I don't believe they support the features I am looking for.

He does has trouble with his vision, but it's been that way when he was younger too, huge glasses LOL 

Btw what kind of memory do you recommend with this mb? :)

BETA function? You're kidding there, right? If you aren't kidding, that is sad.

Thank you for your response. But i tried to reach to 1T with default XMP setting and added 1.42v but still no luck. It just does not getting into 1T anyway.

24-pin and the 8-pin CPU Power?

Is your memory compatible?



Too,  and more important that either of the above, you need BIOS 1.70 to support that i3-6100.

Just below the lower x16 slots card lock are two stickers with the BIOS revision the MB came new from the factory with. What is printed on them?

Nope, I'm not kidding.

The Kingston HyperX website's memory finder shows the ASUS H110i-Plus, MSI H110i, and Gigabyte GA-H110N as compatible with their HyperX Fury 2666 DDR4, which I assume means the XMP profile speed. But when I search for the ASRock H170M-ITX, it only shows 2133 DDR4 HyperX Fury as compatible.

Hopefully, someone at ASRock can clear this up, because right now it looks like their product isn't officially supported by HyperX XMP.

As an aside, I have used ASRock motherboards for my last two PCs and I have been very impressed by the price/performance ratio ASRock offered. However, assuming I cannot find a non-Z LGA 1151 Mini-ITX board that officially supports 2666 DDR4, I will be forced to choose a different motherboard manufacturer this time around. Cry
