    I have had my 7811fx since it was released. For the first few months I had 0 fan problems. Its been a while I've had to deal with it but its driving me crazy. The fan on the left (GPU fan?) is obscenely loud all the time and NEVER shuts off from the moment I press the power button on the computer. It pulses like crazy all the time. The CPU fan is also very audible. I clean out the CPU part thoroughly and apply AS5 from time to time. I of course dust out the GPU also. With no different effects. I also check how out the heatsinks feel and they have no feelable heat or pushing out hot air even. I was wondering if/what kind of solution there is to this. I tried searching for something like this and couldn't find it. I would assume its somewhere but I could not find it. I'm including a screenshot of my temps. Currently each temp is about 3-5 degrees lower than the screen shot. I also keep my computer elevated at all times. I'm guessing there is no fan control on this computer at all. Thanks for any help I could be given.
