URGENT: will my mobo BOOT if i connect CPU HSF FAN to Rheobus???

will my mobo BOOT if i connect CPU HSF FAN to Rheobus???

I have decided on the AC Freezer 64 pro and am wanting to lower noise even more.

will my mobo beep or be unable to boot if i connect the CPU Fan to a Rheobus where i can manually control fan speed?

im running a MSI Neo NF4 mobo

TIA

An XP120 + Coolermaster 120mm outperforms the Freezer by a few degrees when the fan speeds are adjusted so that they're roughly the same noise level (I've owned both). Can't speak for the Alpine.

Go into your BIOS and tell it to not monitor the CPU FAN header. Then you shouldn't have any problem.

I personally do NOT recommend manually control CPU fan speed. It has direct impact of system stability.

Connecting the cpu fan to the fan controller or a rheobus will work. Just disable hardware monitor in the BIOS to detect the CPU fan. If will not cause any stability issues as long as your temps are fine.

i wanna do this because i tried speedfan but couldnt find where to manually control fan speed. i set it to automatic fan speed but the noise doesnt change. thats why im using a rheobus b/c speedfan seems useless as i dont really know how to use it.

One of my rigs uses a Zalman 5.25" fan controller, the CPU fan is controlled that way and there is a plug to the CPUFAN socket to monitor speed. So it doesn't get 'fooled' that way.

Like others have said, disable the overheat protection / temp monitoring or whatever it is called in the BIOS if it doesn't boot or got shut down if the CPUFAN is too slow.

that's what i do.. and have been doing since 2002....

I do this manually. $1.49 for the 3pin connector at Active Electronics, and remove the RPM sensor wire from the fan connector, put it onto the new 3pin that I bought, and plug this into the motherboard fan header while power/negative go to a fan controller.

you can also get a zalman fanmate 2 which allows you to control it externally. though you have to find a way to route it to the outside.
