Hope you can help me.
I have ASUS Z87-A motherboard paired with a i5-4670K and a Cooler Master 212 evo cpu cooler. I had just one fan on the cooler and had temps of around 30o C. I decided to put a second fan on the cooler in a push-pull configuration to hel keep temps low from on a 4.2 GHz overclock. I bought 3 pin Cooler Master 120 mm fan and installed it. The idle temp are now at 25oC and game temps at 56oC. So far so good.
However the new CPU fan always runs at 1800 RPM. I can not get it to change RPM due to load. I did run ASUS's fan utility and the new fan shows up.
Should I have bought a 4 pin fan? Would that solve the non-changing RPM on the fan?
