I'm running my fans off my motherboard
I have both of my fans plugged into my motherboard. It was easy for wire management and I can monitor the speeds. Certainly it shouldn't harm my motherboard since it is Asus and they put 3 or 4 3-pin headers anyway, right? Just checking.
 I have Qfan off - my fans will still adjust as needed, right?

I'm not sure... I may turn Qfan on... but I heard that it is best to keep that off... I kind of want the fans automatically adjusting, though.
I think they adjust on their own with or without Qfan... Qfan just determines the quietness it looks like. Last edited by newbuilder14; 11-26-2006 at 11:04 AM. |

Looks like QFan is for CPU heatsink fans only and not the chassis fans.
Why do you want your case fans to auto-adjust anyway? Cricket

My Asus P5B has Qfan for CPU fan and Chasis fans. Well Cricket, I guess you're right, as long as my parts are nice and cool I don't need to. The only reason I was considering it was because my old Gateway 500GR would auto adjust due to CPU load. Man, did that get loud. It was only really loud when I had that dust issue.

As long as you're not overclocking it should be fine...
I have never used this before but...I recently picked up a new toy for me... A DFI-NF3-250gb with a 3400-2.4ghz cpu... I am using the bios fan control with good results...for me my cpu runs really cool at 2400mhz...23c (on air) I have the bios on the lowest settings for fan control (25c) and the cpu fan spends quite alot of time off...it ramps up once in a while..never going above 25c even when it's off... I had to load prime to make sure it works..hits 26c and it goes full bore... Nice to get the case fans to auto ramp too... Makes for a very quiet pc... I checked temps with various fan speeds and they didnt change much so I leave them on auto on high the chipset was 23c with them on auto the chipset hits 27c the rest are the same..i can live with that and a dead quiet pc...
