Controlling Fan Speed

**investigater** · 03-29-10, 09:42 PM

I have several fans inside my rig but I can't seem to find a program to adjust their speeds. The only fan I can control is my graphics card. Does anyone know of a program I could use?

Asus has a program called uguru that should allow you to adjust any fan hooked to the MB. It you are using the PS to power your fans then from what I know you will need a fan controller.

I did everything to find this. Couldn't find it anywhere. Got a link?

I think the uguru stuff is from ABit, not Asus...

Ohhh, and they are cheap too.

If you want to control your case fan RPM, you need to use the connectors on your mobo. Not the molex from you PSU. Your components are dumb. Hi I has voltage! Oh high! I has RPMz!

If you want variable case fan control you likely need to get a peripheral power adapter for them. The easy exception is your CPU fan via Qfan controller for ASUS boards.

Why not run max anyways? with the right filtering its just a matter of more Kilowatt-hours. Canned air is cheap for cleaning. You guys really trying this hard to save 7$ a year? Or just preparing for a hot muggy summer?

What is your overall objective? To reduce the fan speeds for noise reduction?

That's because you can't.

Many mobo's allow you to control the fan speed for some fan connectors but not others. Typically, the CPU fan is controllable but case fans are not.

Check your mobo's manual.

I got fans with variable controls built-in. I adjust them as to purpose or sound level and then leave them alone.

I just want the option to up the fan speed before jumping in a 2 hour game. I can control fan speed of one as you stated but I though I had control over the other case fans as well. None of them are molex connected. I have four fans connected to the MoBo. I could care less about noise either.
