Hey TPU,

You've never failed me in the past, so I hope you can help me now :x

I had a few extra bucks to blow so I picked up two Corsair SP120 fans with the colored rings to put on my H80i and replace the static fans. Except I didn't read the fine print and in came 3-pin, non PWM fans. I used to run my stock PWM fans at 800 RPM, meanwhile these seem to run at 1250 RPM and I can't seem to slow them down through Corsair Link.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can lower their RPMS?


Thanks,

-P

In your bios, not sure what motherboard you have?! Find fan control and you can set it manually or select a pre-made profile.

I have the Hero Z87 from ASUS. Are you sure that a motherboard header will let me use lower RPMs than Corsair Link?
