New at modding here so be kind
I`ve been looking at adding a Fan Controller to my Antec SX635 Case.
I only need to control (2) 80MM Antec Case Fans and 1 80MM Thermaltake Smart
Case Fan II that I use for cooling the Heatsink \ CPU.
I can`t seem to understand how, when connecting the CPU \ Heatsink fan to
*any* controller (and hence disconnecting from the Mainboard CPU header),
how the mainboard will still be able to get RPM readings to the BIOS, and
also any software monitoring such as Motherboard Monitor?
I know you can turn off the shutdown feature in the BIOS (because of the
lack of a connection on the MB CPU header) but does hooking up to a Fan
controller mean you automatically loose any software monitoring as well?
