CASE FAN connection to MOTHERBOARD!

[b-star]

Hi.

wonder where to connect better case fan:

1) CHA_FAN
or to
2) PWR_FAN

and what is the difference!

cheers

CHA - Chassis
PWR - Power Supply

Isnt it so you can connect the fans to monitorable power?

IIRC all the fan headers on the P5Q-E support monitoring and automatic speed control except for the PWR header that just supports monitoring.

Thanks!
already have connected to CHA_fan1

can I control speed?

I tried in bios, I couldn't from there!

dont think you can manually set the speed, it just varies with the inside case temp to keep noises at a minimum

Look for Q-Fan Control on the Hardware Monitor page of the bios.

You can't directly control the speed of the fans but you can configure the board to control the fan speeds depending on the temperature.
