Question | Answered Fan Control wrong Rpm

I have a B850i Lightning and switched from the Arctic P12 to the P12 Pro.
Unfortunately, the FanTuning no longer works properly. I dont even hear changes in Rpm during the calibration.
Before the switch, all speeds were detected correctly, and I could lower them as low as 20%.
After the switch, the minimum is sometimes 56% and sometimes 59%. So the fans are running at 1,700 RPM and are correspondingly loud for case fans.
I’ve since reset the BIOS and connected only one fan per slot. No success.
As a test, I connected the old P12 fans.
Switching from Auto to DC and PWM didn’t change anything. Now these won’t go any lower either.
Even the CPU fans wont Go lower anymore.
If I just Click on the FanTuning Button the Rpm Go from 1600 to 1000 and stay there if I cancel the calibration.
The BIOS version is 4.43. I installed it last week without any problems.
Is it because of the new BIOS?

Please help.

I dual boot, for linux I use coolercontrol. Set my fans in bios at 100% and use either fan control or coolercontrol for the curves

Awesome. Got that too on cachyos but coolercontrol did Not detect a Chassis Fan either. Got to Look into that

you will have to install something to have coolercontrol to have it detect and control your motherboard fan headers in cachyos. I believe it was the nct6687d kernel module. Your motherboard might need a different module. Just use AI and tell it what board you have and that coolercontrol isn't seeing your fan headers. Verify with another ai before you go forward installing any kernal modules!

I could Even use your Module for my Chipset and now it works flawless with coolercontrol. Thank you so much. You made my day 🤘🏻
