XPS 730 FANS AT 100%
Hey all, this is my second post regarding my xps 730 fans running at 100%. My first post had no replies. I know this issue has come up alot, especially for the xps 630. It's just getting really frustrating because I have no idea what to do. It also dosen't help that most of the posts here are for the xps 630, with the ESA updates, BIOS updates etc etc. I have no idea if they are compatible with my xps 730.
Anyway, I'm hoping someone can respond with some help. I'm hoping Chris might have a solution.
Here's a rundown of what's happened and what I've tried.
Whenever I turn on my computer the fans start at 100%(sounds like a vacuum). I open the Nvidia control panel > performance > chassis, under "CREATE", I uncheck the 'automatic fan' option and adjust accordingly. I choose to save as 'FAN1' and choose that profile to start when system is started. Once I restart the computer, the fans remain at 100%.
I've also tried adjusted the other profiles that were availble, USERDFLT and OSBOOT(names may not be exact). No dice. There's also a SYSDEFAULT profile that appears when I try saving a new profile, but I don't know how to make changes to it.
I've tried uninstalling the software, reinstalling. NO GO. Tried powering computer off, removing power cable, holding power button for 10secs, power computer back on. SAMETHING!! =(
On a side note, everything was working fine for the first 2 weeks when I received my computer. I'm sad to say this all started when I was trying to adjust the LED lights(turn them off).
Sorry for the long post, I'm sure I've missed some things. It's just really frustrating and I know some people here must be in the same boat as me. Please help!

regarding new A02 firmware
i didnt get issue regarding fans... but just now i flash the firmware
before i update the version showing 22... and after i flash the firmware it still showing same version (22)
i dunno whether developer forgot to change the version number or its just patch that dont count as new version, but i like the version number changed to make sure i installed the update correctly

That is normal for this update. After you clicked Load FW, if you got the option to click OK, then the firmware loaded correctly.
