I've been running v6.00 beta 3 a few days with no issues.
I booted up my FM3 this morning and the fan kept running full blast after fully booting.
The system immediately rebooted about 30seconds later. After the reboot, the screen got fuzzy. I shut down the unit, waited 10 seconds, then powered back on.
Presets loaded and I was getting audio, but fan still full blast.
My first thought was to reinstall the beta firmware. Opened up Fractal Bot, selected FM3 device, put Input and Output ports weren't selected, and there are not options in the drop downs.
I confirmed I am running the latest fractal bot.
I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling. Also installed fractal bot on my wife's mac, and my work pc (installed both FM3 drivers) and no luck.
I've tried "Home" button recovery, doesn't connect. Empty preset loads, but unable to connect to fractal bot. Fan runs full blast.
I've tried "Page Left" and "Page Right" recovery, doesn't connect. Fan running full blast, unable to connect to fractal bot. I ran a memory test and that passed.
I've performed a global params reset. Fans still run full blast and will not connect over USB.
I should add, vents are not blocked on side, and fan is not blocked on bottom. Temps are running 140 degrees F / 60.4 degrees C, so this seems higher than normal. It usually operates in the 120 - 125 degree range when I have checked in the past.
I've tried multiple USB cable, no success. I tested the same USB cable connected to the Axe Fx III and it is able to connect to Fractal Bot just fine.
If I let the unit sit for 30 minutes or so, I power on, the fan starts full blast like normal, but then turns off. After about 2 minutes the fan will kick on again. USB does not connect...
Is there anything else I can try? I've opened a ticket with Fractal Support. This one is weird because it has worked flawlessly in the past.
