I have a weird case fan problem. I have four case fans (cpu fan included) and the one connected to cha_1 makes a high pitch/hard drive kind of noise. At first I thought that the fan needed some oil but that's not the case. It's always the fan connected to cha_1 that makes the noise, no matter witch fan I connect. If I unplug one of the other fans the one connected to cha_1 is fine, no noise.
I'm trying to use SpeedFan to let one of the fans speed be determined by the gpu's heat. I thought for a while that SpeedFan might be the problem but I uninstalled it, removed all its files and reset the speed controls in BIOS. In this process I noticed that the fans sound OK as long as I am in BIOS but when I reboot the computer the noise starts again as soon as I reach the login.
All my fans have three pin heads so connecting one fan to the video card isn't really an option.
Any suggestions?
