Hi,

My motherboard CPU fan control is really, really, really annoying. Around 40C the fan goes up and down up and down all the time. I have tried with fan control off, but with it off when the CPU heat rises the fan gets higher and higher and higher, makes a horrible noise and won't go back down even if the temps go back down.

I have also tried on Auto, PWM & Voltage - Auto - the fan goes uuuuuuuuuuuppp dddddddddoooooooooownnnnnnnnnn all the time, same with voltage, PWM is the least annoying but it's still very annoying.

Anyway, I'm thinking a fan controller would help this?

So I'm looking for cheapest possible, but good fan controller please.

Thanks
Craig.
 
Nice, does this auto control itself? Or is it a manual one? 'cause it looks like it goes right inside the PC to me.

Edit:
Ohh, I see now, it comes out of the back of the PC and sticks onto the side of the PC. Might get that, looks pretty good :)

I suppose I could stick it where it's easily accessible and get into the habit of turning it up e.g. 1/3 of the way when I'm multi tasking and e.g. all the way up ingame ;)

Also, I'm guessing when I put this in my PC I just turn off "smart" fan? (haha smart is a joke on this motherboard :p)

Craig.
