Hi all,

What should I be looking for in terms of motherboard specs to allow me to make some case fans run at low RPM all the time?

I have a Corsair Obsidian 750d case. I use the top fans for an AIO CPU cooler and the back fan for an AIO GPU cooler. I'd like to have the 2x front fans, and the 2x bottom fans running slowly all the time.

I've read the ASUS Maximus VII Hero might allow this, is this controlled in the BIOS? What should I be looking for in terms of specs to indicate a motherboard has this feature?

Thanks.
 
You should be able to do this through the AI suite software that comes with your motherboard. Download the latest version from ASUS. Use the appropriate fan headers and you'll be fine. You may need Y splitters if you do not have enough fan headers.

Alternatively if you want hands-on fine control you can pick up a 4 channel fan controller where you control fan speed with knobs that sits either in an optical bay or hard drive bay for under 20 pounds. Sometimes under 10.
 
Thanks for the response. I'd like to do it without the fan controller in a bay option, I think it looks a bit 90s and clutters the look of the case. Hopefully the ASUS Maximus VII Hero has this software for the motherboard :)
