yep the 4 pin is connected to the CPU_FAN socket. which is whats confusing me. regardless of how much i adjust it the fan speed stays at 600RPM.

ive had a look and it is secured by two rubber washers with sticky ont he back of them to secure them to the PCI bracket. after ive finished backing up some of my stuff ill ope the case up and have a look again to see.

ive just opened up my case and had a look. i moved the speed controller wire and it worked. as soon as i let go of the wire it stopped working again. so i presume its a faulty fan and needs returning?
