So I have 6 LED fans in my computer case. But I only have five 4-pin connections on my motherboard. How convenient that my new grapgic card has two extra of those 4-pins to use for fans.
I know those two ports on the graphic card is automated and only turned on when the graphic card is warm. But I would like them to be up and running all time.
I downloaded the software for this card but I dont get it to work so that the fan is running constantly.

Can anyone here help me out on what to adjust to make those two ports run all the time.

Thanks in advance

You can buy a fan connector splitter, so you can use two fans from the one header on the mobo. Just make sure you connect two of the same types of fans.

I dont think this is the solution Im asking of.
I'm not talking of the built in fans in the graphic card, but the two extra 4 pin connectors in the back of the graphic card.

another solution would be to control the Fans via ASUS GPU TWEAK II.
In advanced settings you should be able to adjust the fan Speed corresponding to your imagination. (set to CPU TEMP 40° = FAN Speed 100% or FAN Speed 50%).
But i guess you can't run the Chassis fans independently from the GPU fans.. which is sad.
