Hey,
I have a 4-pin PWM fan on my CPU cooler, and for some reason it won't go under 1300 rpm using the BIOS controls. It has a nasty whine at this speed! However, if I connect a fan speed adapter between the mobo header and the fan connector, it does go slower (~1000rpm).
I'd like to get an adapter that will split off the rpm monitor lead so I can still connect that to the motherboard, but then connect the other two leads (not the PWM one) to a fan controller like the NZXT Grid+, so I can run the fan well under 1000rpm.
I'm looking for the right kind of splitter, but can't seem to find what I need - could anyone point me in the right direction please?
Cheers,
Su
