MB monitoring Fan controlled

This thread may be helpful.

I suppose it is in the measure that it provides a list of cheap controllers, however I see nothing related to monitoring those controlled fans via mainboard. Unlike other newcomers I do know where the search button is located and have read that thread. Thanks

Perhaps my intentions are not that obvious from my first post: I want manual control of the fans' rotations while I can monitor the speeds using software.

I was not trying to insult you. Your question seemed to be answered by the Sunbeam fan controller in the other thread.

You cannot use a manual fan controller AND use the motherboard's fan sensors to monitor the fans' speeds with available hardware. You may be able to add a jumper wire from each fan to a separate sensing pin on the motherboard to achieve that. An alternative to soldering jumper wires to each fan could be a manual fan controller that shows the fans' speeds, for example, newegg has at least two; there many be many more available at other vendors.

I understand what you're saying, I took no offence.

In the meantime I came across this. It's an adaptor that comes with some scythe fans to be able to power 3 pin fans by the PSU and retain the RPM monitoring on the motherboard through that yellow wire leading to the mother 3 pin end. Considering I'm looking at a fan controller that only has 3 pin fan support all it requires is an added 4 pin molex to 3 pin adaptor. A bit of overkill with the wiring and adapting (considering I'm looking at installing 5 coolers this way) but it does what I'm looking for without the need of soldering.

Now all I need is to find that adaptor being sold without any fans to give me a wider choice.
