Issue with fan performance?
Issue with fan performance?
You can manage your exhaust fan with a 3-pin cable because the control method works regardless of the connector type. Your front case fan seems stuck at a high speed, which is frustrating, but since it also uses a 3-pin setup, you should be able to adjust it as well. Let me know if you need further guidance!
Connect it to a case fan header on the motherboard or fan controller, and it works fine. 3 pin fans remain managed, yet they fail to send their present speed to the fan controller, whereas 4 pin fans do.
I believed 3-pin fans use PWM control, but I haven't checked their speed.
On various controllers, you'll notice you can utilize either option, with the exception of PWM socket 1, which handles the fan signal.
