Sleep (fans still running)
I can't figure out why my fans keep running when my PC goes to sleep.
Is there a known bug that prevents them from stopping??
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks Ant

That sounds like the motherboard may not be getting the sleep command? Try turning off hybrid sleep, and try both sleep and hibernate.

It might require more troubleshooting to determine which component is causing it. Are all your drivers installed? I left a wireless card in and did not install the driver, so the system went into standby but wouldn't wake up, until I installed the drivers.
+5VSB I thought was more for being able to wake up your computer from standby mode using your keyboard/mouse/other peripheral, because it will leave those powered on in standby mode.
Exactly, but that's what preventing the rig to go to proper sleep (S3).
With the jumpers to +5, the power will stay on USB and Fans.
With jumpers to +5VSB, the power will stay only on USB ports you have set to be able to wake up the system in the OS.
The fan rail will be without power.
I forgot to mention that S3 has to be set in the Bios.
Not S1, not S3+S1, but only S3

Did the fans ever stop when the PC went to sleep, or is this something new as of late.?
As "sleep" mode does not disable the CPU and Memory I would expect at least those fans directly related to those components to remain operational.
Also as modern systems control the fans via sensors the main fans still running during sleep could be indicative of the CPU and or Memory cooling being insufficient to keep CPU and Memory temperatures without the main fans running.
If you want all fans to stop you need to "hibernate" the system, Which of course has the downside of being slower to awaken and the use of disk space
Thanks for the replies guys
I think i know what it is, i got a new motherboard Asus P5N-D, i installed Windows Seven forgetting to check the s1 s3 setting, now looking at it its set to s1&s3, this should be set to s3 only, i think, but the thing is i need to reinstall for it to take effect, agree??
Thanks Ant.
