If your 3 pin fan is connected to a 4 pin header make sure the header is set to DC in BIOS and not PWM.

Once PWM is disabled it is prob using DC then. Just doesn't say it.

Refund it if you just bought it, tell them their advertising something in their website and selling something else maybe? I hate asus because of this.

But if you cant, maybe you could try to buy a chinese fan controller, I havent bought one yet, but maybe someday I wil.
