See what happens when you go to remapping your ATK profile! LOL.
As far as I know the only thing that has an effect is the thermal profiles unless you install a 3rd part software. Ive tried speedfan and even their latest beta and haven't been able to get anything to work in auto to any profile I set. I can use notebook fan control to manually set a percentage but that's about it. Mine dont run above a very low level until I throw something at it to raise the temps.

Well the problem is when I managed to accidentally turned them on wasn`t even doing something on the computer but I think the fans were working maximum speed. It was quite loud. So I am pretty sure they weren`t working at all before because all I did was for a month was gaming and there was not even the slightest sound of fan. Even when I was playing GTA on battery.
I ran the sensors but truth to be told I am not quite sure what to look at exactly. I would appreciate it if you could help me about it. Here is a screenshot of it. http://i.imgur.com/Q48pIw8.jpg
First of all I remapped nothing and I don`t even use any profiles, such as from the gaming center or just whatsoever. And like I explained above I am pretty sure they were not working before at all.
PS: Today I turned on my computer and no fan noise at all again. If they were not working the whole time (almost a month), is that a big problem? Should I RMA it?
Easy Brother, I was only teasing about the keys.
Now all kidding aside if your function keys are controlling the fans and you didn't do a custom mapping to make it operate like that I would create a ticket with support as its more likely that hitting a particular function key is actually manipulating the connector where the fan plugs into the header on the mother board which is right under the FN keys meaning you have a bad connection there. Unless it was purely concidence that the temps hit the fan cycle profile at the same time.
For checking temps and fans CPUZ hardware monitor is actually better and easier to see with min and max temps etc. Try leaving that run in the back ground while running the heaven bench test to see what you get.

Well if your fans were not working at all you would be overheating seriously.
iN the panel of Hwinfo64 sensors you will find CPU Load, temp and fan speeds all running live time. You will see HI Low and current, the same for GPU, with these sensors running. You can also Log these setting over a period of time.
Recreate your issue and I'll bet your having a issue of heating up of your CPU or GPU or both?
You need to isolate exactly what is actually happening to determine if you have a software or hardware issue.
You photo of the Summery main screen, you need open the sensors there you will see your CPU and GPU Load, temp and fan speed and a ton of other information.

Okay I did some tests. I first played GTA V and the GPU temperature was around 60, so I am guessing that`s totally normal. I was able to hear the fan noise a little, so they were working. Then I wanted to try something extreme and I opened three games (GTA V, Shadow of Mordor, Rocket Legaue) at a time and played one of them while the two were minimized. I played around 15 minutes of Shadow of Mordor and the GPU temparature was 71 degree. So I am guessing that was also normal since I ran two other games at the same time.
So I am guessing the fans were working all along but I guess I was just missing it because they were not that loud but my girlfriend said she remembers some fan noises.
So my ultimate question is, why did the fans made so much noise the other day when only Rocket Legaue was open and I had not even started to play it yet. I mean I think at that time the fans were working the maximum capacity. You could hear it like AC. Now everything seems normal. When I don`t play fans are not working but when I play, they do.
Is it really possible that somehow I managed to trigger the fans to work at the maximum capacity with some kind of shortcut keys or something?
