Asus p5q-e & fans
Hello
I'm planning on building a pc mainly for digital painting, web browsing, downloading & a bit of light gaming (Crysis, GTA IV & Mass Effect) but one of the features of the p5q-e is that it apparently controls the speed of the fans, reducing power to certain components for efficiency. If say, side/rear fan doesn't have a fan control, will the motherboard still be able to adjust the power/speed of the fan.
Thanks in advance

If it has a PWM connector then yes.

Re: Asus p5q-e & fans
Being noobish here, but what is a pwm connector? Is it something that's normally supplied with motherboards or bought seperately?

Re: Asus p5q-e & fans
basically most if the fans u buy have 3 connectors then i dont think the motherboard can control the speed however if it has four connectors then the fourth one is a pwm connector... i think... or have i got it terribly wrong :undecided

Re: Asus p5q-e & fans
It has four connectors and comes with software for controlling them...I have one. But I dont generally use the software.
