Answer» Since the cooler only has a 3pin power connector. will the motherboard be able to control it by itself.Depends on your board. Check in the BIOS and/or MANUAL to see if it supports voltage control. Quote from: Calum on August 11, 2010, 11:48:55 AM Depends on your board. Check in the BIOS and/or manual to see if it supports voltage control. It does but i've only seen the automatic voltage controll on the 4pin's but i dont really know if it will still do the automati voltage control wtih the 3pinGive it a try.If it works, keep a close eye on the CPU Temp in BIOS. The SENSORS may read slightly higher than Windows, would be good enough. What CPU have you runnig underneath? Quote from: Calum on August 12, 2010, 12:22:22 PM Give it a try. I odn't have it yet im just researching about it. Quote from: Tim_Cdy on August 12, 2010, 12:39:43 PM If it works, keep a close eye on the CPU Temp in BIOS.

Oh, I THOUGHT you'd bought it ... you gave that impression. It does sound like the board supports voltage control. Quote from: Calum on August 13, 2010, 12:04:32 PM Oh, I thought you'd bought it ... you gave that impression. It does sound like the board supports voltage control. Yeah it does. I'm currently using the stock Intel cooler and it speeds up when the CPU is under stress. So if the Mobo weill still manage the 3pin tuniq cooler it, what is the 4TH pin for then?4 pin fans are PWM controller. PWM lets the controller switch on and off the voltage very quickly - it reduces the speed of the fan by modulating the width (length) of the pulses of electricity sent to the fan. 3 pin fans can only be voltage controlled, which MEANS reducing the voltage by using a resistor. There are advantages and disadvantages to both methods of speed control.
