This really confusing. I just built my PC from scratch and the fans wont slow down. The BIOS says the the system is a nice cool 37C, but when I look at the Speedfan results it says everything is hot... GPU: 50C, System: 121C.... Like my PC should be on fire at 121C. And it says this right as I starts it up. I ran the BIOS for an hour and it stayed at 37C.... What is going on? And how do I make my fans slow down?
 
121ºC probably means there is no sensor present.
You can buy a fan controller if you want to regulate the fans.

The nzxt can control up to 5 fan on AUTO or MANUAL mode.
The Zalman can control 4 fans (3 3pin and 1 4pin pwm) but no auto mode.

Zalman also come whit a useful POWER meter that show you the WATT usage off your FULL system ( i had read that its inacurate but, helpfull info to know BTW)

I like better the NZXT but it take 2 slot vs Zalman only one slot. the 2 come with Temp probe, all working well. The NZXT use its probe to vary Fan speed on auto mode but i prefer Manual. I currently run those 2 Controler whit ALL fan connected and they work great. Giving me a chance to listen a Movie in a quiet atmosfere or Play game whit NICE temp.
