I would like to reduce the speed of the cooling fans...
Actually, this question is quite unrelated to overclocking, but those who do overclock would likely have the answers I'm looking for.
I'm assuming the fans connected to the four-pin headers are PWM, right? I’m not sure what PWM means and I’m confused by the conflicting information I’ve found. I believe it’s likely the CPU fan should be PWM if I understand correctly. The CPU (AMD FX 6350), along with its heat sink and fan, plus the 4-pin chassis fan, should all be controlled properly. You’re right; they should work together. Have you tried installing a fan profile app in Windows to manage the fans? It might help identify the problem.

I'm not sure about the details, but I've looked it up and found conflicting information. I believe the CPU fan is likely PWM, based on what I understand. The CPU (AMD FX 6350), along with its heat sink and fan, and the 4-pin chassis fan should be managed, though it seems they aren't.

I’m not sure about the answer to that question. I’m a bit confused by the conflicting information I’ve found online. Still, I believe it’s reasonable to think the CPU fan should be PWM if I understand correctly. The CPU (AMD FX 6350), along with its heat sink and fan, and the 4-pin chassis fan, should all be controlled properly. You’re right; they should work together. Have you tried installing a fan-profile app in Windows to manage the fans? That might help identify the problem.
I'm going to assume that the fans you've connected to are using four-pin headers, which are likely PWM-controlled, right? I’m not entirely sure what PWM means, but after searching, I’m still confused by the conflicting information. Still, I believe it’s safe to say the CPU fan should be PWM if I understand correctly. The AMD FX 6350 CPU with its heat sink and fan, along with the four-pin chassis fan, should be managed properly. You’re right; they should work together seamlessly. Have you tried installing a fan-control app for Windows? It might help identify the problem.
I downloaded Speedfan, but the setup feels too complicated. I haven’t found any guide to decipher it. I did come across this list of supported motherboards here:

But my model isn’t listed there.

The AMD FX 6350 CPU with its heat sink and fan, along with the 4-pin chassis fan, should be managed properly. You're right; they need full control. I tried using Speedfan, but the interface is quite complex and hard to navigate. I couldn't find a manual for it. I came across a list of supported motherboards here: http://www.almico.com/forummotherboards.php?man=264, but my model isn't listed. Speedfan isn't very user-friendly—it's better suited for advanced users. My Gigabyte board includes a utility called easytune, which you can get from this link: http://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-9...support-dl. Scroll down to the utility section, click it, and it should appear at the top. After installing, open the app and look for an auto-tune option under SMART settings for fans. There you'll find options like CPU fan and fan1 with graphs showing speed versus temperature.
