This is the system.

The problem is with the smart fan system. When first built, the cpu fan would run at the slowest speed, very quiet. Suddenly, the fan won't throttle back to ultra quiet/slow.
I've changed the bios settings, made sure the interior is clean, checked the cpu temp, re-seated the heatsink, and a few more things I can't remember right now.

It's like the thermo-sensor has failed and isn't letting the fan throttle down.

Any ideas?

Solved my own problem. There are 2 fan plugs, I'm just going to use the other one. Should be good to go.

I have had this same issue, and did the same thing you did--changed to the second controller. Unfortunately now that one is failing. Have you had any further issues? I am thinking of installing a hardware fan controller in the empty 3.5" bay to manually control the fans. Thoughts?
