First of all, WAT.

 

If I understand though, just plug the new fan into an unused 4 pin header. If I remember correctly, pwrfan may only read RPM, not provide power (dont quote me on that).

But also in the pwrfan it feels like the fan is only spinning at 100% or did i have to make changes in the BIOS or something else
