I just recently did a rebuild of my system which I added a new graphics card which should be in my signature and also a new Corsair Air 540 case with 6 fans. I'm having an issue I think with my fans speeds, the reason I sai "I Think" is because I had my fans connected to my PSU and the old case had speeds switches I could change if needed.
This new case doesn't have those switches but I thought if I connect my chassis fans to my motherboard I would be cable to control the speeds to help cooling.
I have my Thermalright Ultima-90 connected tot he CPU fan header and the back exhaust fan connected to the CPU_OPT header, the other 4 fans I have connected to chassis fan headers on my MB and I have one fan not connected to anything I plan to connect it to the PSU.
All the Corsair fans are 120mm and 2 are 140mm on the top exhaust fans all fans have a 3 pin connector. I read that my MB could control fans with 3 pin connectors but when I look at Asus AI Suite 3 all I see ids the speed the fans are running at and the thresholds. I'm not sure why chassis fans 2 & 3 are running at 1119rpm & 1069rpm and the rest are in the 700's ???
Am I doing something wrong I think these fans should be running faster to cool better, my temps are good and my graphics temps are 37-48 C depending on what I am doing. I hear my GPU fans come on and off when I am watching videos. I would like to speed the case fans up to help with cooling but not sure how to do it?
Any and all help is appreciated
here are some screenshots of my fans in Asus AI Suite 3
