DS4 CPU Fan Control

At the moment if I plug the CPU fan into the motherboard connection, the fan doesn't come on when I turn on the computer, is this normal? Will it come on automatically when it gets hotter?

OK thanks, I think I'll set it to be on all the time, it makes me uneasy thinking it may not come on when needed!

Ok thanks, I'll investigate that once I've got Windows all set up.
One thing though, the motherboard connector has 4 pins - and it states in the manual that one of them is for speed control (something along those lines anyway) - but the fan connector only has 3 pins, it doesn't use this 4th one. So how is the speed controlled?

ok, and what should the bios settings be for the fan, auto? always on?
