| 1128743 | 2010-08-17 09:43:00 | Ok new question - should my motherboard have little LED's lighting up on it during the first few seconds of POST'ing? It boots up fine but I looked inside my case for the first time during boot and noticed them any ideas as to what they are? |

| 1128745 | 2010-08-17 11:55:00 | They'll be status lights e.g. power OK or something. You will have more of a problem if they don't turn on! | linw (53) | ||
| 1128746 | 2010-08-17 12:37:00 | Ok cheers. In any case, I've temporarily unplugged the fan. I'm not gonna take it back, although I am wondering why it doesn't vary in speed. I'll get a controller at some point, since they're great fun anyway. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1128747 | 2010-08-17 20:28:00 | Well it connects to a 3 pin header on the mobo, and I checked the bios, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to have any controls for the fan speeds. Looks like I might have to disconnect it for now or live with it. TBH, I'm more inclined to disconnect the damn thing. It looks cool but when it's this loud I don't think it's worth it. So, fan controller might be next on my list then. edit - my front fan can be stopped with speed fan, the other two can't. Strange, since they're all cm ones, all connecting to the same type of header. It connects to a 3 pin connector, but are there 3 wires coming off the plug (usually something like red, black, and yellow)? If there are only two wires coming off the plug, then it'd be missing the third "control" line. |

| 1128751 | 2010-08-18 06:22:00 | Connect the Fans in series? PJ Very clever idea |
