I currently have a Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 (rev2) heatsink fitted and lve had annoyances at times where the fan took a couple of power cycles to actually start spinning, however since l tend to not power down much lve not noticed this issue allot.
however recently lve noticed the fan speeds are lower than previous boots (lve had to shut down a few times due to storms) and lm pretty sure it relates to the PWM ability on the fan.
essentially ld just like to know if l got a 3pin to 4pin converter would it remove my fan speed issue as ld assume it would just power the fan to full instead of using the PWM management but at the same time still allow me to keep an eye on fan speeds/temps when required and allow the fan to go at the full 2500rpm its rated at rather than occasionally dropping to 500rpm on cold boots and run faster than the current 1840rpm lm getting as none of the bios settings checked really do much in fact turning on q-fan tends to make the fan spin slower even when set to turbo.
(l might be upgrading some point in the next few months so l just want to keep this system going until l manage to get the cash together).
