Software Control My Fans: Does any hardware exist Hey Guys, Again, a question for my fried circuit friends. I had a Asus Mobo, wich coltrolled my fans in an intelligent way: Hot cpu = fast spinning fan Slow cpu =quiet slow fan You get the picture... Recently my AGP slot died on me, solutions=new motherboard. I tough the new motherboard (GigaByte GA-8IPE100-G rev4) supported this feature allso, but as it turns out, i only monitors the speed and temprature of the components in my case. Does a piece of hardware exist wich will allow me to control my fans with software (speedfan) or let speedfan controll the fans automatically, so that i have my peace and rest back? Thanks in advance guys! |
think there was a fancontroller reviewed here. let me take a look edit: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=223 ;) |
speedfan does the same thing. |
Some more questions about the product: Do i need to use the software provided, or can i use speedfan? Do i have to use the provided temp sensors, or can i use the ones provided by the mobo? |
Speedfan will work with your motherboard sensors & fan headers; some motherboards play better with Speedfan than others, try it out. the T-Balancer is a solution which does not rely on your motherboard to keep the fans running silent / fast when needed. It works on its own and can be configured to your likings. |
Ok let me try to ask the same question again, but this time in the right way: IF i buy the M-Cubed Fan Controller 1-can i: Use speedfan instead to control my fans via the fan controller, so can i use speedfan and not the piece of software that comes with te controller 2-Do i: Have to install all these temp probes, or can i just use the temprature readouts delivered by the sensors allready on my motherboard/harddrive/cpu? (oh, and is this the only product that can enable me to controll my fans the way i used to do with my old MOBO)? Thanks again |
1) no, you need to use the Mcubed software 2) no you don't need to install ALL probes 3) I have not seen another software controlled fan controller yet |
Could you recommend some other solutions that control my fans in a semi-automatic / intelligent way, like my old (and old other mobo's except mine) used to do? |
DFI nF4 Ultra and SLI boards provide software control using onboard sensors for upto 3 fans: CPU, Fan, PWMIC. While the CPU fan header is a must to control shut down;the others are for your own pleasure :) |
Correction- CPU; Chipset and PWMIC. The chipet may not be used for other purpose. |
