Hi all,
I have got a problem,
I have a AB350 Pro4 and I can't turn off my fans
I tried making custom curve setting them at 0% until 50 C but they still continue spinning.
Some users told me to switch from PWM to DC mode but I can't find how to help me
I have 4 pin fans with 4 pin splitters
Can you help me please?
Thanks! :)

You can't turn off the PWM fan with a curve.
The only chance you with this motherboard is to get an adapter to make it a 3 pin fan and connect it to CHA_FAN1 header, where it will get detected as DC mode fan, that way you should be able to turn it off with a curve.

nvm, got wrong board highlighted, but still you can only use cha_fan2 and cha_fan3 with a 3-pin fan in order to turn it off by setting a curve.

Ok, thanks! What if I detach - or cut - the 4th pin, the one of PWM?

If you can do that without permanent damage to the splitter, then go for it.

I hope those are not CPU cooler fans, as you don't want CPU to not have a spinning fan, and your motherboard will most likely throw an error if you won't have any fan connected to the CPU fan header.

Those are case fans and MAYBE cpu fans
My mobo doesn't throw an error if I haven't any fan connected to the CPU fan header lol, I can tell you this because the first time I assembled this pc I forgot the cpu fan and it started normally... I was installing drivers on Windows, I watched temps, 50 C... And realized that I forgot the cpu fan lol

BTW I think I can detach the 4th pin without breaking the splitter, I'll try thanks!
