I've tried loads of fan software but none of it works. I really HATE this auto fan speed control crap, I want it running max speed. Is there anything I can do??

Any way to manually change CPU fan speed?

maybe you could plug the fan into your psu instead of your mobo...then if your mobo requires a fan to be running before you can boot, then just hook up an old fan to it and place it somewhere that doesnt really need any airflow....

Get something like this, plug it into one of the 4 pin connectors from the PSU and plug the fan into that. Your BIOS might complain about the CPU fan missing then though, so do what was mentioned above and plug a spare fan into that... Like ktr says you might be able to use your bios to change the speed anyway.

Can you not go into the bios and set the quiet cpu fan mode to disabled? you can tell the bios to keep the cpu @ lowest temp pos, thus making fan run fast! It makes no diffence to me now as ive gone water cooling!

Nope. As I said before everything in BIOS is locked down...I think I'll get two of those 3 pin converters as well for my case fans
Put the side on, GPU Idle went from 34*C to 39*C and rising...only been on a few minutes...

Well I suggest you leave the cpu hsf alone as it is 4 wired!
The case fans is another matter, as they have 3 wires red, black and yellow! just worry about the red and black, red being the + black - On a molex connector you have yellow - black - black - red, yellow being the 12v and red the 5v! aslong as you connect red on fan to yellow on molex and black to black you will be good to go!
You just have to beable to strip a few cable n connect them n rap em back up, bit of a bodge but does the job and is cheap as chips!
