CPU Fan Speed Control – Why It Can’t Be Controlled

cpu-coolerfanspeedfan

I bought a new computer with an ASRock H61M motherboard and XILENCE ICEBREAKER 64 Pro PWM CPU FAN. The problem is that I can't control the speed of the FAN.

I tried settings in the BIOS and with SpeedFan as well as with ASRock extreme tuner. After applying the new configuration the fan is still rotating at full speed (around 2,100 RPM).

How can I solve this issue?

"Note: when using a 3-pin power connector with a 4-pin fan header, the fan will always be on; there is no fan control."
