I recently noticed that my PC's fans have ramped up to 100%, and I can't figure out why. I've tried using ASUS Fan Expert, checked the BIOS, and explored other fan control software, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I had a similar issue recently! Sometimes fan control software can get into a tug-of-war if you have multiple programs open. You mentioned using ASUS Fan Expert; just double-check for any other software, like MSI Afterburner or ASUS Armory Crate, that might be causing conflicts.
Make sure to check the fan settings in your BIOS. Are your fans configured for PWM or voltage control? If you’re using a fan curve, you’ll want PWM; otherwise, they might just run at 0% or 100%. It's also a good idea to disable any software that controls your fans temporarily to see if that resolves the issue. Sometimes programs can conflict with each other, especially if you have multiple fan control tools from different manufacturers.
Have you checked your system's thermals? High temperatures can often trigger fans to run at full speed. It's worth looking into whether your CPU or GPU are overheating. If they’re running fine, you might want to explore other settings.
