Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum, but I've just finished putting together my new system, and I'm using the ROG Maximus VI Formula motherboard with an Intel i7-4770K processor. The case I have has multiple chassis fans on it, but they're all 3 pin fans. I ordered some more fans to swap the ones that came with the case, and those were 3 pin as well. After digging around some, I found some older posts where someone mentioned the 3 pin fans can't be controlled by the motherboard, or AI Suite, only monitored. 4 pin fans would be needed to control the fans. Then, on another thread, someone mentioned a jumper setting to change if you were running 3 pins fans which lets the motherboard control them, but that post was about a year old. So, I figured I would just hook it up and see.
Well, I ran the EZ Fan control software in AI Suite initially so it can go through, see which fans are connected, ask where they're located, etc., and the software was able to speed up and slow down my 3 pin fans. So my question is this, I the issue of a motherboard not being able to control 3 pin fans not an issue anymore? I'm about the replace all my fans, and I'd like to figure this out beforehand. If anyone can help answer this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
