PWM CPU fan issue

[Guest]

Hello and good day fellow PC enthusiasts

I am having an issue with fan speed control on one of my CPU fans.
Fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0030DL37I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Mobo: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/970A-G45.html
CPU Heatsink: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-Plus-RR-B10-212P-G1/dp/B002G1YPH0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357200330&sr=8-1&keywords=hyper+212%2B
Bios: v1.11

To get the usual questions out of the way, I did make sure both the fan and the mobo plug-in were both four-pin. My issue is that while MSI Control Center and the BIOS itself are detecting the fan, neither are allowing me to alter the fan speed. This is strange, because I can alter CPU and SYS1 fan speeds (CPU is four-pin, SYS1 is three-pin), but not SYS2. This is very annoying because the SYS2 fan is running at max speed (2000 RPM) and is very loud. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Quick explanation: 4-pin fan in a 4-pin slot = no fan speed control
3-pin fan in a 3-pin slot = fan speed control

Bump.

Ok. I made a very bootleg solution to my problem. I switched my 3-pin backpanel fan from SYS1 (keep in mind, SYS1 is a 3-pin slot) into the SYS2 (4-pin slot); I moved my 4-pin fan into the SYS1 slot. I can now control my second CPU fan from SYS1, but now my backpanel fan plugged into SYS2 is running max speed.

For those of you paying close attention, that means:

4-pin fan connected into a 3-pin slot = fan speed control
3-pin fan connected into a 4-pin slot = no fan speed control

Wut.

This is infuriating. Any help is greatly appreciated.
