Hey guys, I remember I bought several Scythe Glide Stream 120mm 2000rpm (sy1225hb12sh) fans (didn't use any in my case, was for a handmade mining case but ended up buying a bigger 45cm fan) and I want to use them in my case, I just don't know if they can be controlled via software or they will all go full power (which is very loud).
I have an Asrock gen3 extreme3 mobo with a cheap case (has 1x front, rear and side fan spots). The asrock software AXTU has 3 chassis fan controllers and on the mobo there are 3 fan pins. Here's a picture from the manual of the mobo showing them. http://imgur.com/eyj1OOg
So this means the 4pin chasis fan1 will be able to go for a target temperature that I set and the rest will be only able to rotate at a fixed position that I set from AXTU ? Am I correct here?
Also my case is in a pretty bad position, http://imgur.com/9beX43p ( please don't mind the cables and the case goes inside the empty space, I just took it out now) so, front fan blows air on the hdds, the side fan I'm about to install should blow again inside (there is not much space outside, the desk's foot is a few centimeters away) to the gpu, the CPU fan is blowing to the rear, its a hyper tx3 evo heatsink on an i5 2500k cpu, and rear fan should blow outside. Is there a better way to do this ? There are no top fan mounting spots on this case, only front, side and rear. My cpu without these fans, (only front fan and the hyper tx3 evo) is at about 60C max load and 45-50 while normal use (20-30chrome tabs).
So can I use all fans at the same speed so they won't sound like an airplane or they can't all be controlled together ?
