    If the fan can be speed controlled, surely the motherboard would be controlling it.
    wouldn't have thought so seeing as how the fan now runs faster and louder with the new mobo.. ? sounded to me like it was mobo that couldn't control the fan, rather than the fan not being able to be controlled.

    Well as the ASRock P4i65g can monitor/control fans and the OP is using an old Compaq fan I doubt it.

    Hi guys

    I'll take a couple of pix later tonight and post the urls to them including the options in my BIOS which to me look greyed out (this is where I got the readings I've posted).

    I guess temp wise the PC is fine at the moment but it's just the fan noise that's annoying me.

    Cheers for your help so far, much appreciated
