I checked my bios and I have a 2 chassis fans and 1 cpu fan listed under my pc health section. I only have one physical chassis fan and one cpu fan, both of which report speed back to bios. I have one spot in the bios that lists the non existent chassis fan as 0 rpm and I believe this is causing my problems.
