Fans

[Zombie]

So i have a thermaltyke (sorry if i spelled it wrong) case with 2 fans, one in the back behind the processor and one on the side panel. Now my motherboard could only support one fan (or at least thats what i think since there was only 1 sys fan slot) and so i chose the side panel fan because A) Its bigger and B) It cools alot more of the components and the other fan wouldnt really reach my hdd. Now i have installed a fan controller but i cant seem to figure out how to turn down the fan since its currently running 100%, i downloaded SOKNO speedfan but cant figure out how to turn it down. Is there a way to automatically set the rpm to the recomended number?

Most 3pin fans cannot be controlled, even with a fan controller unless its compatible with 3pin fans to lower the voltage.

4pin fans can be controlled, 3pin fans, especially those connected to a 4pin molex will always run at full speed.

so i would have to actually install a fan controller? if it would even work

i mean its not that big of an issue, but the sound of a fan going 60k rpm and making a grinding sound on a brand new computer doesnt sound good

3pin header on the board can be controlled by the mobo adjusting voltage to the fan and watching its fan speed

if you are using molex adapters the fan will be at full speed all of the time

I just used the 3 pin connecter, and connected it to system fans. im trying to reduce my fan speed but no matter how i change it, it just wont slow down lol

tbh its not really hurting anything, its just the sound, its not loud but at the same time if i have my headphones off i can hear the grinding...

boot to bios
check for fan profiles
it should have settings for the case fan header (dont change the cpu fan header settings)

else you can use speedfan to adjust it

which one is my case fan?

There are various ways of lowering down the fan speed, all done by lowering down voltage of the fans.

You don't always need the 4-pin PWM fans in order to adjust speed, I've adjusted the speed of who knows how many 3-pin fans from the board. You just need a board capable of it.

However, since your board only has one fan out, you'll need to either connect more than one fan with an adapter to that out (not too recommended) or find a different solution, such as getting a fan controller.

The Sunbeam Rheobus is a great, well built controller on the cheap that has heatsinks for the FETs that control the fans, for example. I'd highly suggest that one.

If you want something even better, you can opt for a Lamptron but it would be overkill for your case.

yeah both fans came with a 3 pin and a molax, but since im new to this i had no idea where to plug in the molax. My video card did come with a 6 pin and 2 molax inputs but nowhere to put in the 6pin

most likely sys_fan
but 65,000rpm is very high for its fan readings

stock cpu fans shoudl max around 6,000rpm
most 120+mm fans around 1,500rpm

theyre not changing either, maby its stuck on its reading?

thats a g4400, so a new intel b/h/z 1xx chipset, speedfan may not be fan reading its in/outs correctly
its voltages are all reading 0/4/2v so that wrong

check with the mobo mft site, see if they offer a suite for monitoring temps/fans ect..

am i able to change it from the bios? ill restart my comp real quick and see i guess
