Asus Rampage 5 Extreme fan setup

[OddsCrazyStuff]

I'm not sure if this is a motherboard, air cooling or water cooling topic, but since fans is the problem so do I post here.

 

I'm looking for a program or bios setting that lets me control fans with Asus Rampage 5 Extreme.

The regual bios only lets me group control and it dont like PWM splitters (molex versions).

AI Suit 3 is just as bad and speedfan dont do jack (unless you need to configure it first).

 

My CPU and CPU_OPT are controlling PWM fans, so when the CPU works the pumps speed up but not the rest of the fans. And to top it of, it somehow refuses to set the pumps to 100% speed in bios.

Which is why my dual 480mm radiator setup gets 70-75 degrees on the CPU. :angry:

 

So is there anyway to tame my fans with software (or hidden bios settiing) or do I need track down a few PWM fan controllers?

Don't think there is software for it. Either get a fan controller or turn down the voltage on the fans so they auto run at lower RPM

They are PWM fans, so cant just do low voltage trick.

Plus that dont solve the fans on silent dont spin up to reduce tempratue problem.

Then the only thing you can do is get a fan controller I guess

Asus is one of the better ones in fan control. Are you using latest BIOS? Thats would fix any bugs with fan controls.

As for Speedfan, yes you need to configure it first. Unlike AI Suite/Fan Xpert, its made for several control chips and mobos. You need to select controller chips to use them. After that it will override BIOS set controls. My way of doing that http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/404465-confused-about-changing-fan-speeds-50/?p=5453137

The problem I have with Asus is the grouping function, which makes things a pain to setup.

That plus the fact that only the CPU fan headers spinns up when temps increasing, which works bad when the radiator fans are on a different header.

 

As for Speedfan, it seems to be somewhat working but it will take a lot of setting up it seems. Plus I have to find out how to make it react the right way with my dual loop setup.
