hello,
I'm looking at puchasing the Gigabyte EX58 extreme motherboard. However, from what I've seen on the net, there is little or no fan control.
I'm currently using an abit IP-35 pro XE motherboard (with uGuru), and the fan control system is simply amazing. This, along with the temperature monitoring, allows me to very precisely control fan speeds, and they are automatically adjusted with drops/rises in temperatures. It's all hardware based too, from what I understand (a dedicated uGuru chip on the board?).
What kind of options do I have with this Gigabyte motherboard? I've used Easytune with a Gigabyte board in another system, but it was quite basic, and I had no control over the system fan RPM's. I also had to leave the application open (wasting resources?) to maintain control/alerts etc.
I've set all my case fans to maximum before using uGuru, and it is really quite loud. Will I be stuck with all 5 case fans set to 12v with this motherboard (assuming I don't use some hardware based fan controller, the type you stick into the drive bays)?
Thanks!
