What controls fan speed? I have 2 pin fan connector on VC it currently runs on high all the time.

Hi,you can not control the fan, since you only have a two pin connector on your card. Best regards,Jens

The fan is dumb. It has no speed control on it. Your card or some other thing must control it for you.

All 4 pin connectors support 3 pin fans but the PWM speed control is not supported (4 pin PWM fans only). This board has two connectors for case fans and one for the CPU. Personally, I'd spend a couple extra bucks and buy new 4 pin fans.

Correct. I use two of these to run 4 case fans.. 2 in front and 2 in rear. My motherboard controls the speed as designed. These are 4 pin connectors for PWM style fans. Don't be fooled as 1 connector only has 3 pins, this is by design to 'ignore' 1 fans speed signal to not 'confuse' the motherboard. Enjoy!

The water cooling unit uses a 4 prong connector but only 3 prongs are there, I personally set this to a molex converter since the power has to be constant anyway - the water cooling unit won't change anything based on system need. However, the Fan that comes with this unit uses a 4 pin and should probably go into your CPU Fan slot on your motherboard. It'll work with 3 pins as well, but having the variable fan control will help it not be too loud. I personally use an after-market fan and the fan that came with this unit, the after market is used on the CPU fan port and I put the coolermaster fan in one of the case fan ports and set it to the lowest RPM available (30%) since it can be a bit loud.

Molex adapter 3 pin w/lead to MOBO for temp sensor and fan adjust by OS/BIOS Remove lead to MOBO full speed, ., OR 3 pin direct MOBO OS/BIOS controlled..Hope that helps

There is a teeny-tiny switch located on the side of the card beneath the power connectors that governs the behavior of the fans. In the default setting, only one fan runs at low temperatures; the other two start up as the temperature of the card rises. In the other setting, all fans run all the time, but at speeds governed by card temperature.

The BIOS on this board has tons of features, and I can indeed confirm there are settings for fan speeds in it. I currently have my fans running at max (don't care about noise, etc)

1080 RPM to 1320 RPM (+/- 10%), and they use a standard 3 pin Motherboard fan connector. I just don't understand why people are fixated on fan RPM though, when it's the CFM that really matters... (which is 44.73 CFM on this fan if'ya care). Hope this helps

These are three-pin fans. You would need to control them through the motherboard or a fan controller.

No, this is for manual control (it doesn't use the mobo controllers). Fans get plugged into this, and the round dials control the fan speed. I got this because my (asrock) motherboard didn't have enough controllers and I didn't want to run my fans at 100% power. CPU cooler stays on the motherboard, everything else gets plugged into this.

Yeah I had that in my fan info too. But the info with this control says not to use it with a solid state fan. Who even knows what these "solid state" things are. You should be fine.

No, the fan controls do not control LED lighting of fans, nor of the actual unit's LED interface. It controls fan speed/RPM only.

PWM fans have 4-pin connectors and the speeds can be controlled by your motherboard, usually see those connectors on cpu heatsinks. ULN and FLX have 3-pin connectors and can only be controlled by voltage adapters supplied by Noctua or a fan controller etc. ULN (Ultra Low Noise) means that they will generally run at the slowest speeds while being the quietest. FLX covers more range in terms of fan RPM.

Hi Mr. James. I just got home to check out your predicament, and I can say that I arrived at close to the same conclusion. I set my fan to manually run at max and there is a visual disconnect though the Precision X HUD. The meter says my fan is running at max, but the digital readout on PX says it's only at 80%. That's not exactly what you're reading (75%)...but it looks like the same issue. For comparison sake I took the other fan software and did the same thing to see if I noticed the same issue.... and I did. For some reason all the Fan software I use say the max is 80%. What I found out after looking into it more was that EVGA apparently puts a limit on the max speed you can run their fans using external controllers. I do not know if the card itself will push the fans above 80%, but it seems that when using other software, that is the max. ...even so. Whether your fan is running at a true 75% top speed or the actual max speed, I find that my fan on max keeps things cooled to about 40-44c...which is well below maximum temps. Hope that helps! (on a side note, I've read that you want to keep these cards at 70c or cooler in order not to lose any clock speed. Supposedly, once they hit 70c the card throttles back the clock until temps are below 70)

Connect a molex to the fans if you want to use the integrated fan controller. There should be a female molex connector coming for the controller

There are 5 settings on the controller included with the fan. Setting 5 is the slowest and it is pretty slow.

I don't know. My fan and light like this is controlled by a wall switch and pull cord. I switch it on at the wall, and then control the light and fan speed by the 2 pull cords.
