So........Is monitoring Fan (CPU, In/Out) RPM really necessary?
What is it really used for and how does it benefit OCers??

Thanks! deathman20deathman20 said:I think like case-mod.com or casemods.com have it, a 3-4 pin connector. But from there you if you want RPM you still have to mod it and take the sensor line to the motherboard to get a reading.
