Hi all i have went back from having a fan controller to having the motherboard control all my fans.  Reason being is because the fan controller had a mind of its own.  Im having issues understanding and configuring fanspeed to control my fans.  Only the cpu fans are on a splitter.  the others are on their own chassis fan pin.  I have on fans:

 

2x   Noctua NF- F12 fans for my gpu watercool radiator.

 

2x Corsair dc 12 fans cooling my cpu Watercooled radiator

 

1X Noctua NF-12 fan as a general air intake for the case

 

2x Corsair silent fans as exhaust fans.  

 

Their is 4 chassis fan pins on my motherboard and the fans are wired in this order: (they are in this order due to which fan wires could reach were on the motherboard)

 

Chassis fan 1 = outer gpu rad fan

 

Chassis fan 2 = inner gpu rad fan

 

Chassis 3 = Air intake fan

 

Chassis 4 = 1 top exhaust fan

 

w pump pin = second top exhaust fan

 

CPU fan pin: Controls both cpu radiator fans on a splitter 

 

 

So my goal is when computer is running idle or low intense tasks the fans be off to save power and be quiet.  But then be temp controlled so when the temp risses on GPU or CPU the fans speed up gradually with temp.

 

How can this be done? if you need anything from me let me know.

 

Thanks

The only problem I have with using speedfan is that the temp readings are way off, so you have to crank up a higher fan RPM so you're suddenly not running at high temps at idle. This is at least the case for me my 7700K cores are being read as they're only around 20C, while they're actually in the 30's, when they're actually 60C, it reads at less than 30C.

yeah tried following this guide but was no use as I can't relate to any of the fans on the program. I think  I'm setting the you fans for example but then when doing a stress test to see if the fans increase with temp they don't. instead random fans turn on and off. it's a very complicated program to follow. Then again even asus built in ai is no better. The suite ai  detects their is fans but some of them you can alter fan curve to temps and the other ones you cant do do anything. All I simply want to do is start with no fans when the pc is first on or cool or idle then as the temps start to increase with gpu and cpu the fans then increase or decrease based on temps. is it because of motherboard brand/model or is it because I have a combination of 3 and 4 pin fan?
