I have a question about setting up fans control on this motherboard. I have the cpu fan hooked up to the cpu header. Beside it is a header called pwm. Can it be used to control any fans? The 2 front fans are powered directly from the power supply and are very noisy. The top outlet fan is hooked up to a chassis fan header and another chassis fan header is empty. I would like to use the chassis headers to power the front fans so I can adjust the speed on the MB. Could the outlet fan be hooked up to the pwm or should I just power it from the power supply? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. As you can tell I'm a computer newby. ------------- Norm |

The fans have to support PWM to be controllable on the PWM header. If they are it should work fine. -------------

Xaltar; Thanks for your response. I will see if any of my other fans are pwm fans. I assume that all cpu cooler fans are pwm fans. ------------- Norm |
