I installed some Noctua 140mm fans replacing the stock fans in my FD R6 case, and although the 3 fans are running, the 2 in the front are quite so loud compared to the back fan, but i cannot change their speed in any way! I tried going into bios, but when i put to silent, it didn't change the speed, even after i save & quit. Actually, in bios, it shows the fans as "N/A"...

And then i downloaded SpeedFan, which shows this, so...how can i change the fan speed, especially the front fans?

SpeedFan is outdated and won't work.

Make sure your BIOS is updated.

If you have a setting in the BIOS regarding fan PWM/DC. Set PWM for 4-pin fans, and DC for 3-pin.

For software control, look for ASUS AI Suite and ASUS Fan Xpert that are compatible with your motherboard.

If you have 3-pin fans, try 4-pin fans instead, or maybe 3rd party fan controller device.

Why? Why buy one of the best cases out there only to dink with the cooling?

As noted in your other thread here, the FD fans included in the R6 are great fans. And they are set up from the factory to work with the included controller. Why do you feel you need to replace the already excellent fans? What were your temps before?

I recommend Argus Monitor (https://www.argusmonitor.com/en/index.php), it's not free but works great. Started using this when upgrading to new system and Speedfan didn't work anymore. Much easier to setup than Speedfan. I wouldn't install Asus AI Suite, it can be a real pain to uninstall properly and some people have had problems with it.
