I have a total of 7 fans in my case. 2- 140mm Cougar CF-V14HP Fans. 3- 120mm stock fans that came with my Corair 500R. and 2 140MM fans from my last Chassis.
Now.. Strangely..All of my fans EXEPT the really nice Cougar 140mm fans connect and are easily controlled through my ASUS MOBO Software. Don't get me wrong, The Cougars Partially Register in the BIOS. Meaning they show up and the RPM is read perfectly. But when I try to tune them manually (or even with the different auto settings) my BIOS freezes and I have to hard-restart my computer. The Cougars also Partially Register in my "ASUS ThermalRadar" that is part of the ASUS Z97 Mark 1 MOBO.
But, Again, When I go to tune them the graph reads "N/A" like there isn't any fans plugged in to that/those channels at all. But when you look at the RPM monitor it shows them sitting around 800 RPM.. very strange.
SO almost all of my fans are 4 pin. Soon, once I replace the stock 2 front fans they all will be 4 Pin. What fan controller would you guys recommend? I have my 2 Cougars plugged straight into the PSU in order to get the full cooling potential for my 290X crossfire configuration. But when I'm not gaming and am trying to sleep, I can hear them :/.
IF ANYONE has a solution to the Cougar connectivity issue then by all means, share that with me so i don't have to get a fan controller... if there isn't a solution.. Then what fan controller would you Enthusiasts out there recommend.
