I recently just built my first PC, and it worked first try and has worked great except for this fan. Here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gBhWgs
The problem fan is the Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition. When making my build I put this fan to be an intake on the bottom of my case, and I keep my computer in a fairly cool room, since I live in Minnesota. I am not sure if this cold is the reason, but when I turn it on it starts making quiet but distinct squeaking noises. I have also found that HWMonitor says that it is spinning at 60,000 rpm, but in reality it is spinning quite slow. Here's a screenshot of HWMonitor.

When I plugged my fans in, I plugged them directly into the motherboard. Was this correct? Does my motherboard control my fan speeds?
