I have a motherboard that seems to have failed on the pin that controls the CPU fan. Just runs flat out. BIOS reports fan RPM as 0 RPM. Same happens with different fans or using the SYS fan header.
So... any problems if I just whack the 4-pin CPU fan onto a 3-pin fan controller? Like one of the Zalman Fan Mate 2 Fan Controller type things?
I'm trying to find a mega cheap option to keep this old machine running for now. Ideally I'd have the control for the fan speed on the outside of the case, but don't think it is worth spending £15 on a fancy controller.
