CPU Fan Speed Controlling T.T

[BuBu Shofronea]

I own a old Foxconn G31MX MoBo and a stock CPU cooler with 4 pins ( and the MoBo got 4 pins too ). The problem is that i cannot control the Fan Speed in none of the ways i tried. I tried to change the fan speed from BIOS and by some Softwares made for changing it but none of them worked so far. I also want to mention that i'm not so sure if the cooler got 4 pins ( i checked the cable that connects from the cooler to the MoBo and it's a 4-wire cable ( guess it's ending with 4 pins.. ) and the MoBo says in the specs that got 4 pins : http://www.foxconnchannel.com/ProductDetail.aspx?T=motherboard&U=en-us0000452
"4-pin ATX 12V power connector "
If you have any idea what to do please show it to me.

providing nothing has broken it should have 4 pins on the end of the wire, although I'm curious as to why you are trying to control the CPU fan yourself?

yes there are 4 pins at the end of the wire and i'm looking for lowering a bit my temps by setting the fan speed to a higher value because of the OCing.

If you're OCing then I'd suggest getting an after market cooler, hyper 212 is a great on, or if thats a little too big for you're case, it has a 120mm fan, then the hyper TX3 is almost as good and a fair bit smaller, thats the one I use

Well the idea was how to adjust my fan speed, not to buy a new fan cuz this one ( i noticed that when i was doing some heavy load with my CPU ) went to almost 6000 RPM and that's the thing i'm looking for - setting it to the highest value.

As i said, do you have any idea how to ?

in that case, I think there is software out there, speedfan comes to mind, not sure how well they work as I tend to just leave mine to it and the mobo adjusts the speed as it needs to, sorry I can't help more 🙁

ahh ok, but i already tried speedfan and didn't work. It only shows PWM1. PWM2 and PWM 3 which won't change the speed of my fan... Anyway thx for help
