So it lives, but does anyone have any idea why my case fan thinks it’s a helicopter and wants to take off?

@kev Specs on the fan? Is it a 3-pin or 4-pin PWM? Same goes for where you plugged it into the motherboard. Make sure the motherboard header can control a 3-pin fan that you plugged that case fan into? Some guesses haha

@kevMay sound obvious, but did you clean the fans?

@kev I've seen this before where the mobo doesn't detect the right power mode. Check to see if switching to PWM or DC manually fixes the issue

@kev On the other hand, it looks like your mobo may be detecting the wrong maximum RPM the fan is capable of? The values on the right-hand side look suspiciously high...

@kev Images without descriptions aren't right either.

So change from Auto to DC, which helped (its a 3 pin 120mm noctua) but it still spins at like 1700rpm. If I plug the old one back in, which is a cooler master, it’s absolutely fine. It’s also a 120mm 3pin.No idea what’s going on with the Noctua. Gonna flip back to the Cooler Master for now I think.

@kev 3 pin == no speed control.There is one for rpm reporting + 12V and GND. The speed control comes with a fourth pin.

@kev Check the fan settings. You might be able to tweak it to silent mode

@kev Maybe somehow the fan settings were tweaked. Check the fan settings of your pc. And if there are modes put it to silent mode

@JosuGZ @kev You can control a 3-pin fan with DC (Voltage).What are the spec of the Fan? Usually Noctua fans comes with adapters to lower the RPM if you can't get the motherboard to control it.

@Lembritt @JosuGZ it’s an NF-F12. Only other thing in the box was an extension cable and screws.

@kev maybe not.... PWM is 4 pin.

@kev @JosuGZ I can only find NF-F12 with 4-pin PWM?The only 3-pin I can find is a special 5V fan and should not be used on a motherboard.And the industrialPPC 2000 RPM fan.

@Lembritt @JosuGZ I assume it’s the 5v one then. I’ve ordered new 4 pin fans that are coming tomorrow. This s for the help, folks. I didn’t even know 3 pin vs 4 pin was a thing in the fan world.
