Asus P658xD Premium fan connectors

[Needhelpman123]

Hello there, my friend has just got a new rig and has given me his Asus P658xD Premium motherboard, Now I have a modded haf 932 case that has 8 case fans. I can't seem to put them all on this motherboard so what can I do? I know Asus is smart so they must have done something to help this. Thanks

Are your case fans PWM or just voltage controlled?

what does that mean? I don't have a fan controller

There are two ways to control voltage -- PWM and voltage. If you reduce the voltage, the speed of the fan slows. PWM is a more-involved system in which the motherboard monitors the speed of the fans and reduces the speed using pulse-width-modulation.

So here's why this matters to you -- motherboards usually only have a couple of connections for PWM fans, but have many more for standard fans. If you tell me what kind of fans you have, I will review the manual for your motherboard and make a recommendation as to the best way to set-up these fans.

Let me know what you find...
