Troubleshooting • Re: Official active cooler always runs at 100% speed on new Pi 5

Thank you for reply. Well I checked the fan connector. I am using and testing the same active cooler on both Pi 5. When I connect the connector to the old Pi 5 then fan works as normal, but when I connect it to the new Pi 5, it works at the maximum speed.
to get that right:
A) when connecting your old fan (!) to the new Pi it works as expected?

B) When connecting your new fan (!) to your old Pi it runs at 100%?
Sorry for confusion. As I explained at the beginning of this post, I have two Pi 5. I was facing fan speed problem with the new PI 5, which I received today.
Anyway, I just fixed the problem. After checking pins of the female connector (on Pi board), I noticed that one of the pins was bent. That was difficult to see! and unexpected as well. I think some friends have faced the same issue and still couldn't figure it out. I spent hours on this funny issue. I hope this post will help others!
'tons of hours spend' as you seem to not have followed my initial suggestion made in viewtopic.php?p=2213851#p2213818 - provided 14 minutes after you've posted your question!
