I just put together a system with a GA-MA770-UDP3. Works fine, but I got 2 cheap-o 120mm Rosewill fans, and they're louder than I anticipated.
Smart System Fan is enabled in BIOS, but only the front (SYS_FAN1) is responding with lower RPM (incidentally, this is the system fan connector with 4 pins). SYS_FAN2 however is still going full blast... what can I do, other than go and buy a quieter fan for the rear exhaust? I tried simply disconnecting it but the internal temps (ambient and core) increased by 5-7C right off the bat... makes me uncomfortable, I'd really like to have both fans at least spinning.
Any advice/experience appreciated....
