Adding More Controlable Fan Headers
Posted: Thu Aug 02, 2018 6:21 am
I feel like this should be a basic question, but after several years messing with PC silencing I still don't know the answer and my google-fu is weak on it. I recently had to replace my X99-A motherboard with a Crosshair Hero VI (don't buy X99, 5930k CPU for sale!). This has reduced me from four fan headers to three. I have also had to go from Speedfan to Argus Monitor.
I normally have two CPU fans and five case fans. Formerly I had one case fan wired up to the PSU and everything else controlled through software. Asus used to sell cards that provided extra fan control, but the Crosshair doesn't list support for them. Is there a standard way to add extra addressable fan headers?
Oh, and I have tried running multiple fans from a single header and it has always led to weird noises (possibly because I run at such low speeds).
Thanks!
