Hey guys, I've recently built a new gaming PC and instead of running a dedicated fan controller like I did in the old one, I'm using the motherboard headers.

The problem is that the ASUS software shuts off the fans if the CPU load is low and as soon as I start rendering (100% CPU Load) then the fans go to absolute maximum and the case starts taking off into orbit when there's no need to :p

So I'm wondering if there's some nice simple/working software where I can control the speed % of each motherboard header?

Thanks!

-Specs-
ASUS Maximus VII Hero
Corsair H105
Corsair Air 540 (So a fan controller isn't really an option unless somebody makes a vertical one :p )
 
By drive bays, I meant 5.25" not the hdd bays.
So yeah, any normal fan controller that would fit in a 5.25" Bay.

Uhm, you can still mount a fan controller on the drive bays... It's just going to be vertical.

Yeah, that limits me though, most are designed to be horizontal, the only ones I see that would be somewhat acceptable are the slider-controlled ones but the numbers will still be the wrong way :p and I'm not spoilt for choice with those.

Would probably have to be an NZXT Sentry if I did go for a physical fan controller.

You could put an Aquaero 5 LT in behind one of the drive bays so you don't see it as well.

Bit pricey considering it'll ultimately still be controlled by software.

I like speedfan, here's a guide I made for Z87 control (will probably be the same for Z97)
