Both CPU fans have to be either 4-pin or 3-pin for control to work, they can't be mixed. Same goes for case fans, they have to be all 3-pin or all 4-pin, otherwise control doesn't work. There are jumpers on the board to switch between 3-pin and 4-pin setups. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
