Thank you. Looks like I have fun project when I get home from work tonight. I only have the one drive though, as I have a laptop with a 1tb HHD that serves my other needs (media, working, ect) this computer here is only gaming and experimenting with. I really appreciate your answer, learning...

The MOBO has four pin connectors and I am using Voltage in BIOS. I just find it odd that these two fans won't post the RPM"s from the tachometer. That is even after I used the adapters that came with PSU and plugged them directly into the PSU with the tachometer on CHA_FAN2... It must be...

Fun fact when I switched the fans around, I now boot with a CPU fan error, every time. So man issue is the MB doesn't like these fans, either of them using the 4pin PWM connector, is that normal? Going to have to go back to other way. Also couldn't run the fans through the 3 pin as there is...

Thank you for your assistance. My motherboard has two jacks for CPU fans (CPU_FAN and CPU_OPT), but I should keep them both on one anyway? I was wondering if it didn't recognize that one because it was keeping them both at the same speed. But could find any info on google about exactly that...

I recently added two fans to my build... One on the tower cooler (Cooler Master 210 evo) and one intake... It had two power wires one three and one four on each fan. The Motherboard ASUS z97-a wont recognize fans in one of the case_fan spots and the CPU_Opt spot. I have move the connectors...

Okay all great advise. Touching the heat sink first doesn't feel that hot actually even when running prime 95. I have been using HWmonitor as that seemed to be well reviewed and deemed as accurate based on initial google searches. But touching the components did tell me one thing I had not...
