Will this fan respond to Motherboard rpm control as a function of case temperature?

That would depend on the motherboard I think. It uses a 3 pin connection, but only two wires. The voltage would have to vary in order for the speed to vary. I'm not familiar with how those controls work, so I can't say for certain.

They are 3-pin. They do work with 3pin voltage controllers to control fan speed.

I'm sorry I purchased this fan to us on a battery charger for my RC planes so I do not know the answer to your question.
1666847
Yes, if the motherboard has that feature. This fan has a three wire connector.

Oh definately yes the fan in this power supply should always spin, because it is not thermally controlled. That is a hazard. It may damage your computer also if the power supply overheats and causes a fault. Please return it immediately.

Hmmm, Amazonfan, not sure what to tell you regarding your converter - I'm sure it'll work fine, and this fan sure doesn't seem to be a power hog to me, so I seriously doubt it's gonna blow anything out -but you'll have to attach it to both your mobo and your psu. I doubt it'll function otherwise. I set mine at full speed, and it does a great job of cooling at that setting, and is whisper quiet.Not entirely sure I answered your question completely here, but that's the best advice I can give you, going by my own install experiences...

Yes, the three wires consist of a pos, neg, and the third wire lets the motherboard read the rpm of the fan. so just find the pos and neg and your good to go.

I actually had mine in a pretty small, mini-itx build. It stayed reasonably cool during most day-to-day operations with the stock fan, between 35C and 50C--and that's without any other case fans. As long as you aren't doing anything too CPU-intensive, I'd consider the stock fan pretty adequate. Good luck with you build

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.

To better answer this question, I should tell you first that you can control the speed of any fan connected to the mobo via BIOS or using ASUS AI suite. you can put any fan on any of the following 4 settings: Silent, Standard, Turbo, and Full Speed. There are two "little cooling fans" a.k.a assist fans the you can attach to the mobo, and if i put any of them on Standard or higher, the noise is definitely noticable. The sound is very annoying! it makes a very whiny fan sound. I would suggest keeping them on Silent setting. FYI, my desktop case has built in sound dampening material (Fractal Design define R4) and even with the the whiny sound is pretty noticeable

That would be impractical.This is a fan fed by DC so you would need some kind of AC-DC converter to output 12V DC voltage.For RPM you would have to variate your DC voltage in the range of 8-12V or use something that outputs PWM signal similar to one being generated in the motherboard.

I don't know. I can tell you that my normal clock I-5 when it is worked moderately hard will raise the CPU temperature and call in the aux fans. I would recommend the NH u9s or greater. You might consider liquid cooling.

No, but it comes set at 860 with software that allows adjusting it between 660 and 1030MHz and you can adjust the memory which is set at 4800MHz, and allows you to also set the fan speed manually if the auto setting is not suitable.

The CPU fan power on the motherboard is all that is needed. Your motherboard will modulate the RPM of the fan, depending on the requirement. Just like the stock cooler.

Your best bet is to get a fan with a 3-pin connector and plug it into one of the "case fan" headers on your mother board, then you can set the speed/temp profile in your BIOS like you do for the CPU fan. You could also buy a 4-pin molex fan and plug it into the power supply as you mentioned. Last, you could get a Y adapter to run it off the 3/4-pin "cpu fan" header on the board but I would not suggest that.

No. Idles very silent. Even under normal usage I cannot hear. My fans mounted on PC case are louder, and they aren't very loud themselves.

I've never experienced it. Failures happen - RMA it. My main desktop has 8 of these fans in it with zero failures (on 24/7, for several months). Good luck with the replacement!

it should be spinning at maximum speed if you plug it directly to your PSU via molex. otherwise you can control the fan speed if you plug it to your mobo. hope this helps.

Hi,Yes, the cooling fan temperature is an adjustable parameter for this vehicle.

Forgot to mention, the case fan is quite loud so I would either replace it with a quiet one or get a simple fan speed controller. This is what i got.
