So long story long, my motherboard is ancient. It came in my Alienware Aurora R4 which I bought about 800 years ago. The software that came with the computer which controls the fans has been wonky for about 6 years, and finally crashed and stopped working. Now, when I boot up the computer, the fans do not spin at all, including the AIO watercooler. I tried to find the software on dell's website, the oldest they have is a few generations past mine. I tried 3rd party fan control software, nothing. The BIOS does not have fan control options.
So before I finally shell out for a new PC, can I just buy a fan controller and not have it go through my motherboard at all?
