fan control software?

H3RBSKI · 18 Jan 2013 at 00:24

not sure where to pu this really, but is there any sort of fan control software that i can download or buy? i dont really wanna spend £50 on a controller and dont want all my fans running at full speed as they are currently.
i have an asrock extreme 4 gen 3 mobo (intel) and tried setting the fans to auto with desired temps in the bios but that hasnt worked.
any other suggestions?

Have not tried in that mobo(although I have the same) but I have used "Speedfan" on 2 x P35 mobos to control fans.

just trying speed fan now, ive set it up correctly and im running a stress test to check my temps. the fans are set at 40% min and 100% max on the cpu fan. ive set it to auto control but the fans are still sitting at 40% and allowing the cpu to get to 74° in core temp yet in speed fan it shows as 52°
any ideas?

I honestly can't remember how I set it up

It was years ago!
This is the guide I used - it is old but most of the steps are the same.

Yeah, SpeedFan is the best once correctly set up. Awesome piece of software.
