Can you see RPMs for all of > them in the BIOS? I've 2 fans - CPU (fan1) and chassis (fan5). They are connected as Intel's manual says. BIOS shows 6 fans - it shows some (reasonable) RPMs for fans1, 5 and zero for rest (nothing attached there). BIOS is able to control RPMs itself, depending on CPU, chassis and DIMM temperature sensors. Many thanks for looking on it, Andrew
