| 776112 | 2009-05-22 23:29:00 | Hi Everyone (again) Im fed up with the 3 fans on My Coolermaster 690 case that keep running all the time, (especially at night, when its downloading updates) Is it possible to control them using software? BTW, I have a auss p5q-premium MB Thanks in Advance |

| 776113 | 2009-05-22 23:37:00 | Download the AI suite / EPU engine install, from the CD / ASUS site. But these will probably only work, if the fans are connected to the mobo headers, not connected to a spare molex adapter. Or buy something like one of these (www.dtconline.co.nz) |

| 776114 | 2009-05-22 23:56:00 | If its connected to the right motherboard headers, then you should be able to control it with the included CD that came with your Mobo. AI Suite. Or you can do it from the bios IIRC. Blam |

| 776115 | 2009-05-23 02:18:00 | Nope I tried just now, On ASUS Fan Xpert, I set the chassis fan to disable and calibrated it. The AI Suite said RPM was 0 for 2 chassis fans, but they were still running. |

| 776116 | 2009-05-23 02:24:00 | Did you plug the fans on the CHASSIS_FAN header on the mobo? | Blam (54) | ||
| 776117 | 2009-05-23 07:06:00 | Have no Idea, PB Tech did the assembly for me. All I know is that the 3 fans are running. |

| 776118 | 2009-05-23 07:08:00 | Theyre probably connected to molex adapters. Thats why theyre showing 0. You'll have to open the case, and put them on the mobo headers. If you want to see the RPM / control them And unless they've got 3 pin connectors on them you wont be able to put them on the mobo header/s. You'll have to get an adapter, or get another fan |

| 776119 | 2009-05-23 08:27:00 | Start. Programs. Asus. AI SUITE. Q-Fan. Speed control is under Q-Fan |

| 776120 | 2009-05-23 08:37:00 | ? Yup but unless theyre connected to the right headers the speed probably wont work / do anything. Like you said The AI Suite said RPM was 0 for 2 chassis fans, but they were still running. Thats because theyre not connected to the mobo and theyre running because theyre connected to molex power adapters | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 776121 | 2009-05-23 12:18:00 | Hi Sir Prospect Seems to me you are going the hard way about things using software, (pun intended!!), :groan:, to control your fans. The best way is to use electronics :eek: . The fans will turn on and off as required and it is really cost effective if you are handy with a soldering iron. I have made this circuit (www.heatsink-guide.com) up many times and installed it various projects, not just computers. It is fantastic and does the business!! Try it, cost buying new components from Jaycars NZ is about fourteen buck$. If you can't make this up then you are stuck with the commercial unit as Speedy has already suggested. Hope this helps.
