n00bie question about cpu fans

Zinth · 28 Sep 2011 at 20:39

Current i have thermaltake frio cpu cooler in my comp. it has manual fan controllers but its a pain in the ass to have to take side of the comp off to adjust them all the time. I've tried removing them and adjusting fan speeds through software like AMD overdrive and speedfan but they don't seem to adjust the speeds at all. Can anyone help ?? much appreciated

Buy a fan controller??

It sits in one of your drive bays and you plug all the fans in your case into it.

Hmm yeah could do. But is there no way of getting my mobo to reconise the fans connected ? so i can just do it through software

It depends on your motherboard so how about a telling us what you have.

Try using Speedfan to see if the fans can be detected.

If there are manual resistors on the fan its self, I would think you would need to set them to the highest setting, then (provided they are detected) let the motherboard/speedfan do the work.

The speeds are detected but the speeds arent adjustable via speedfan or amd overdrive ect ect. Also when they're maxed its mega loud >.<
