I have been unable to confirm if the 4 pin fan headers on the Rampage III Extreme are able to control fan speed for 3 pin fans. Can someone who owns the board confirm if 3 pin fans speed is controllable via voltage or is speed control only possible for 4 pin PWM fans?

I control all of my fans from the motherboard using the hardware fan speed monitor.

download the manual, look for fan control options, "legacy" or "voltage control" are what you are looking for in the fan options.
We have a new ASUS rep: OC_Seer ASUS Power User Support, might ask him.
I was going to look it up for you but the ASUS site is so dog shit slow I gave up.

I finally got the manual to download and I see your problem. Manual is not specific and implies with the wording that PWM fans are needed for the more advanced speed control options but makes no mention of the ability of the 4 pin optfan 1 2 3 for any kind of "not full blast" options.
Sorry, dont know an answer and manual is no help.
