I will see if updating the BIOS has any effect (doubtful since I imagine the problem lies in the application not being able to recognize the motherboard). Will be adding a Gigabyte GTX 970 when it arrives in the mail, hopefully this week! My build comprises the following (relevant info only):ģ Bitfenix Spectre Pro case fans + stock cooler for the CPU When I startup into the BIOS there are no issues - all fans report speed and the CPU fan runs relatively quietly (using stock fan from Intel).

Case fans are running but speed is not shown when I type "sensors" in terminal (as I understand it this is running a script or command within the application lm-sensors). Just built my son a new computer for rendering graphics in Blender and am having an issue with the fans. Hi, new to Linux so am totally lost on how to fix this:
