Hi everybody,

Quick question: is it possible to manually control (via software in Windows) the speed of case fans (PWM) that are connected with PWM directly to the motherboard 4-pin sockets?

I'm looking for a way to best balance noise/performance.

Thanks in advance!

Typically motherboards have some software you can download to allow this.

 

A couple other options:

 

Open Hardware Monitor (may not work with all motherboards)


Speedfan (not really user friendly)

 

I have a cue light I can use to show you when I’m joking, if you like.

Hey thanks for the info!

I'm planning on Asus Maximus X Formula Z370.

Any idea if Asus would support such software fan control?

Sure it would, Asus even makes software to allow it.

With a board like that, the BIOS is a joy to work with.

Asus has probably best fan control software.
