fan speed control
What I want to do is slow down my rear 92mm fan, but I don't want to plug it into the mobo or get one of those speed controllers that goes in the 5.25 bays. I noticed the fanmates but I don't think you can use those on any fan. Is there anything else like a fanmate that I can use?
Thanks |

Well, I am not familiar with FanMate, but SpeedFan should be the software you're looking for.
But you have to plug the fan you wanna control to the motherboard. RJ

why dont u wanna connect it to the mobo? that way its much more safer (in case the speeds decrase or the fan fails). i had a fan w/o mobo connection and when it failed, i didnt know about it. luckily it was my 133MHZ CPU fan

Mother board case fan connector is generally good for one fan.

You should have a 3-pin fan plug-in on each side of your socket. 1 is for the CPU fan and the other is for a case fan. They should be at the top of the motherboard just about.
