Recently I updated my motherboard's (which is an Intel DG31PR) BIOS and other drivers mainly to get it functioning with newer CPUs, which at the moment is using an Intel Core 2 Duo E8500. I had swapped processors before and still the same thing happens.
The main issue is that the fan is going on incredibly high speeds to the point where it's annoying. I tried plugging the fan into different slots, and still it continues to go to very high rpm speeds, about 3000rpm.
It reads about 98 degrees, which could not be Celsius as the CPU's max temperature is about 80 Celsius or so. I deducted that it's reading the wrong thing, and this is on the actual BIOS screen, not any free-ware. Freeware like SpeedFan does read the Fahrenheit reading as well.
I couldn't seem to find an option on the BIOS screen to change the reading from Fahrenheit to Celsius, so I assume this is some kind of drive bug. I really would like to fix this soon too, thanks.
Also one more thing to mention is that the fan runs normally only before the BIOS screen comes up.
