CPU fan running at full speed!

[JT!]

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/jonathantrillo/saved/3C0B This'll show the CPU and motherboard I'm working with.

I replaced the fan for a coolmaster cpu fan. I thought I was buying only the cpu fan but it came with a heatsink too. This is the fan. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103188 (Note how it says 'fan only', they lied!).

I switched out the fan because the old one squealed.

No matter what I do in the bios it constantly runs at full speed. The fan speed settings work fine for the case fans, and I even plugged this cpu fan into one of the system slots and it had a reduced speed.

CPU is at 32c.

I flashed the bios.

I installed speedfan but that didn't seem to recognized any of the fans and showed no detail.

I'm really out of ideas.

Assuming you took a 4 pin (pwm) fan off and replaced it with a 3 pin fan?

Urrrghhhh, Just realized I switched a 4 pin fan for a 3 pin fan.

Why would they even sell a cpu fan with 3 pins?

Edit. Yeah CgS, exactly what I did.

Am I totally screwed? I mean... it can adjust it's speed using the system fan slots. Or do I have to look into a different cpu fan?

You may be able to control it, you will have to go into bios and change some settings.
Sending you a link.

Replied. Still no change.

Page 42 of the owners manual. You need a 4 pin PWM fan.

1st system fan speed control, are you set to normal or manual?

 

[JT!]

I believe it's normal right now.
