" rel="nofollow - Does anyone know for sure how the fan speed is controlled on the headers for the case fans? Is it true PWM on pin 4 of the header, or is the speed of the fans controlled by voltage changes across pin 4?

As for CHA_FAN2 (bottom of the board, under the PCIE5 slot), it works as PWM or Voltage mode. I currently have a Noctua NF-A14PWM connected and am controlling it's speed using SpeedFan. I did have a 120mm 3-pin fan from my old Gigabyte case connected and that worked too, with variable speed control.
As for the other headers, I am not sure/haven't tested.
*edit* It looks like you are asking a more technical question, I don't know my away around testing the connections enough to answer that. Sorry.

" rel="nofollow - This is what TS responded to my question:
the Fan are controlled via voltage PWM
I guess in other words......huh?
