    This is the second time that I8KGUI 3.0 has been giving me a lot of trouble. For some reason, I have no control over my fans anymore. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. I cant even read my GPU, mem, and fan speeds anymore. After I reinstalled the program for the 5th time or so, I have no options to control anything. Where all the temps and fan speed should be displayed are blanks.

    Anyone know what I can do to get my fans working again? My temps are too high after gaming and Im starting to rip the hair out of my head. Are there any alternatives that I can try?

    Thanks.

    Did you recently upgrade your bios? if so you have to reactivate all the sensors, are you running XP? Also make sure that you have hardware sensors disabled.

    Yes I just updated the bios about a month ago, A08 right? How do I reactivate all the sensors? I will disable the hardware sensors and play around. Thanks.
