Fan Control ??

[Mr Penguin]

Hello, I have recently installed three HD120 Corsair fans, they run perfectly fine apart from the sound. When I was doing research people said I was able to control the speed of the fans etc so they will speed up when my pc goes under load/ has high temps and would slow down when at idle, as currently speaking I do not know what is the average sound to a computer at idle or under load. 

I was hoping speedfan would help however they are unable to find my fans - One is plugged straight into the motherboard (4pin) and then the other two are plugged into a splitter (also 4 pin) it is a three way splitter so should I also plug in the other corsair fan into it ? 

 

My specs are: 3700x stock cooler, rtx 2070 Super, 16gb 3200mhz, 750w psu and 3 corsair HD120 and two Corsair stock fans that come with the Corsair Spec-06 RGB white. 

 

I am one the having a quiet pc when at idle as I find it distracting and when I bought these fans all the reviews said that they sound perfectly normal and quiet at idle, but is this with a controller??

 

I have also installed HWMonitor and that does pick up my fans unlike Speedfan, however, I don't know how to use the program to its full advantage. 

 

I hope you can help me as I want my fans to be controlled by the temperature of the pc, so when at idle with low tempertutes it shouldn't  need to be running at 100%. I have looked in the BIOS and hardware monitor, I have turned then onto Smartfan mode however I don't really know what I am doing apart from looking a graph - My motherboard is a x570 MSI Gaming Edge WiFi.

 

Thanks in advance, I am sorry for poor grammar etc as I am typing this after looking for a solution for a couple of hours and I just want to start playing some games etc.

I also don't know a thing when it comes to fans etc so sorry if I am being stupid- I am open for learning.

Try doing it from your mobo's bios

Which mobo? You can use its software or BIOS to setup controls.

Looks like I have sorted it out, I did a bios update (month or two out) and the smart fan control started to work (Hardware Monitor edits). The motherboard I have is x570 MSI MPG GAMING EDGE WiFi. Speedfan still doesn't find my fans tho'.

MSIs Command Center is the Windows tool.

If you want a SpeedFan alternative for Windows, you can give OpenFanControl a try.

It should work on your MSI board without any issue.
