So Last night i was messing with my Gf's pc a little, I installed the Abit Guru to see about OC her rig a little and the Fan's were only running at 1000 RPM's. Now her spec's are. Abit KV8 Pro with a AMD althon 64 3200+, Radeon X800 X/L with the ATi Silencer, 2 optical drives, 2 HD's, and a Antec 350 Watt True Power. Now i did not have time last night to check the bios, but it could this be from simply not enough power? the CPU and System's fans were both running at 1000 rpms when they are 3000 rpm fans. The PC does not have a fan contoller, only way i think i can controll them is threw the bios. Any Thoughs?
 
The fan speed is controlled by the amount of voltage going to it. That's how pretty much all "fan speed controllers" work. So, since it sounds like you just have the fans plugged directly into the mobo, you probably want to check the bios.

will explain to you about the fan speed function of your motherboard. It appears you can control it from there. I don't know though, I don't have that board.
 
On my abit the fans plugged into the mobo are temp sensative, they run at lower and higher speeds depending on the temperature.

Would a Fan Controller be the right thing to do?
 
only if you want to, otherwise I don't think that it should hurt anything. The bios based smartfan controller is simply lowering the speeds when you don't need the speed to keep the sound level down.

Ok, well the temps are good, the cpu only runs at 42-46 under haevy load, so i dont think i will worry to much
 
little FYI, i did check the bios out and i just droped the temps on the fan's a little so they kick up more often
