Tower Plus EBT2250, how to monitor fan speeds?

I have installed two different hardware monitoring apps. The only fan speed I can monitor on either is the RTX 4060 GPU. On my XPS 8940 I could monitor several other fan speeds.  Am I missing something?

I’m looking for answers to this same question.  Looking at HWInfo64, I only see the GPU fans, no info shows up for the q case fans or the 285K CPU Cooler fan.  And loading Fan Control program doesn’t show these 3 fans either.  Did you find a work around?

Hey Dell, please provide a BIOS update that allows reading / controlling these fans.

No, I wasn’t able to monitor the speed itself. But using the Dell support assist hardware test, I could hear the fans accelerating so I knew they were working, which was my main concern.

I did find it concerning however, that the RTX 4060 GPU fan only got up to 54%, yet the temperature exceeded 100°C during the Cinebench test. It seems odd to me that it didn’t work harder to keep the temperature down.

My RTX 5080 stays cool, but running 3DMark tests, my CPU reached 106C and I didn't hear any fans speeding up at all.  Note, and that's with the large cooler.   This is very bad.  Dell needs to give access to control these fans.

FYI, you can use Fan Control or MSI Afterburner to control your GPU fan curves, that will help a lot.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Even though my 2250 came with a small muffin fan, I bought and installed a tower cooler, as for the 285k.  It keeps my CPU much cooler (85C max).
