| 1249848 | 2011-12-21 04:40:00 | Is there a simple program available that will monitor & control the speed of case fans. I have been told "speed fan" may work. |

| 1249852 | 2011-12-25 05:27:00 | speedfan works on all motherboards if that helps | jxer4567 (16665) | ||
| 1249853 | 2011-12-25 10:36:00 | Your BIOS may have basic options built in, something along the lines of quiet, balanced, max cooling options. Speedfan will very likely read the temps, but you'd have to try and see if it will control the speeds. It's free and a small download so just give it a whirl. If you wan't good control a hardware fan controller is probably the best option, and if it's just noise you are worried about you can get quiet fans or inline resistors to drop the speed. |

| 1249854 | 2011-12-26 01:52:00 | I have concluded that speedfan will only control the speed of a case fan if it can be done by the smartfan option on the mobo. And this mobo doesent support that option. So have done the 7 volt mod to the exhaust fan. Has certainly quietened it down & still stays cool enough. |

Which is why I mentioned the motherboard you have. |
