http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jonathantrillo/saved/3C0B This'll show the CPU and motherboard I'm working with.
I replaced the fan for a coolmaster cpu fan. I thought I was buying only the cpu fan but it came with a heatsink too. This is the fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6835103188 (Note how it says 'fan only').
I switched out the fan because the old one squealed.
No matter what I do in the bios it constantly runs at full speed. The fan speed settings work fine for the case fans, and I even plugged this cpu fan into one of the system slots and it had a reduced speed.
CPU is at 32c.
I flashed the bios.
I installed speedfan but that didn't seem to recognized any of the fans and showed no detail.
I'm really out of ideas.
Urrrghhhh, Just realized I switched a 4 pin fan for a 3 pin fan.
Why would they even sell a cpu fan with 3 pins?
40 mins later, lots of leaning about pwm, I see what's up now.
