somewhat a noob to cooling so could be a simple fix.

The Airflow fitted over the memory sticks is constantly on at full stock RPM no matter how much the machine is working and I cant seem to control it. Seems the machines developed a fault.

NestlQ Max zero controller doesnt have any effect when I adjust the interface settings

Any ideas?

Motherboard is Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

The fan is totally unnecessary for DDR3 unless you doing some extreme overclocking..... the only efefct of those tall toothy heat sinks is to "look cool". While the fins and fans served a purpose on DDR2, they are not needed for DDR3

At more than 2" tall in certain areas the Corsair Vengeance could pose a problem for users like me who use large coolers such as the Scythe Mugen 2. I was able to use the Corsair Vengeance only after I mounted the fan on my cooler on the backside. Size is definitely a concern with heat spreaders of this size and therefore I encourage users to check that they will have enough space under their...

The problem I have with the Corsair Vengeance is the same I have with many kits of RAM on the market. Companies insist on putting large coolers on their RAM and it limits the choice in CPU heatsinks that can be used within users system. DDR3 does not require these elaborate coolers with its lower voltages which translate to lower temperatures then RAM saw during the DDR, and DDR2 era. Corsair is correcting this with low profile versions of its Vengeance line but ultimately I would like to see the average size of coolers drop instead of having to look for specific low profile versions of a memory line.

If ya still wanna use it, Asus has FanXpert 2 as well as BIOS control which ya can use to control fan speeds of CPU and CHA headers but I am not familiar with what your MoBo is equipped with.
