I have 4 fans in my case (P182) and I know I don't need them all on. I thought I could control everything with SpeedFan but I see no indication tat it is doing anything...
Any ideas?
thanks,

The latest 4.33 version does work.
However it has to be properly configured.
Pwm1 controls all the chassis fans 1-4. For it to work, you need to disable Q-Fan in the motherboard OR go into advanced options in SpeedFan, select the Winbond chip, and set the "Pwm1 mode" to "Manual Control". Also make sure that "Pwm1 type" is set to "PWM Output" and not DC.
Once you do that you gain control of the voltage applied to the chassis fan headers on the mobo and you can adjust them with the "Speed1" control.
Unfortunately, I've been unable to adjust the CPU fan speed with a 3-pin fan, even though it should be possible with the Winbond chip on the mobo.
