Gigabyte just doesn't seem to support their products as well as their rivals generally do. I just wish I could come across the older app versions I used without issue, but unfortunately I did not pay attention to the version number before upgrading to the new-look one back in June. I have used Gigabyte motherboards for a long time (along with Asus, Asrock, and several now out of business companies as well), but this is ridiculous. What I ended up getting were them not working properly and this: I had a few hiccups here and there with the old version, so I decided to install the new ones. The 'App Center' version is B16.0603.1, and the 'SIV' version is B16.0525.1, and they are definitely different looking over the previous version.
With an Asus motherboard for example, you can do all of your fan profiles right in the BIOS and do not need to install their app.Īnyways, I saw they had released a new version of the 'App Center' and 'SIV' on June 24th. In the BIOS you can only have them run 'normal', 'full speed' or a manual percentage of PWM value.
I am not a big fan of motherboard apps to begin with, but Gigabyte puts their advanced fan control options in the SIV (System Information Viewer) where you can tweak fan settings and other stuff like that.
I don't remember the version, but I think the ones I were running were from February 2016. So I have used two Gigabyte utilities (App Center and SIV) since I bought my GA-Z170X-UD5 last November, without any major issues.
