Optiplex 780 BIOS Fan Control issue

Hi,

I have an Optiplex 780 SFF desktop, and I have kept the BIOS firmware up to date,  now running A14.

It's running a Q9550 CPU.  Win7 64.

Ever since owning, I have noticed an issue with the CPU fan control.  After the computer resumes from S3 Sleep, the fan controller logic seems broken in a bad way.  Only after S3 resume, if I run 100% CPU for an extended period (possibly a few minutes), the fan does not spin up to adequate rpm and the CPU gets very hot,  > 90 degrees.

However, after a normal warm restart of the computer, the issue goes away.  The CPU fan speeds up properly and keeps the CPU from overheating - highest core temp around 72.  

The cooling issue only appears only after resume, not boot.  

Anyone able to test this?

thanks!
