Hooking your processor fan to fan controller?

[Peter-Griffin]

Is this a bad idea? My cpu fan is noisey as a mofo.

One thing you have to watch out for though, is some fans startup only when a certain amount of power is put into them (like the tornado) but can then be backed down to lower voltages and will run fine. So everytime you turn off your computer and then back on make sure your fan is above the starting level so your fan will turn on.

Cool, thx for the replies.

Ok I did it but my mobo keeps giving me an alarm with no cpu fan plugged in, anyway around that?

Open up the BIOS and turn off the feature.

Probably under CPU-Health.
