How to change fan speed on Tuniq

[LOUISSSSS]

i have speedfan, i get a reading of 2100RPM (is that the correct speed for the tuniq fan?) is that the MAX speed for it? how can i control it using speedfan or any other program.

Yep, that's the max speed.

The max is meant to be 2000, and the min 1000. I don't know how to control it through software, but why not use the included fan controller?

check your bios settings.

This depends on your motherboard, the Tuniq has a 3 pin fan header, generaly its a good idea just to use the included bracket and just maneuly adjust it as most newer motherboards have 4 pin cpu fan headers and don't play nice w/ 3 pin fans anymore.

The fan controller that came with tuniq works really well for me, just put it on middle or so and it's quiet and efficient.

I am not having any luck controlling the Tuniq fan speed with software (played around with speedfan a lot) but the manual rheostat that comes with the unit does a decent enough job.

Some system "quirks" to be aware of - if you have your BIOS set to control the CPU fanspeed based on thermal feedback THEN set the manual rheostat switch to "high".

Example - if the BIOS determines (how ever it does that) that the fanspeed needs to be 1100rpm based on current CPU temp then that is the max you can dial the Tuniq to do with the rheostat is 1100rpm when cranked to "high". On the flip side you can dial it down as low as ~280rpms.

So the BIOS and the rheostat work in series.

Alternatively you can just plug the Tuniq power cable into a molex, in which case it will be running flatout maximum (>2000rpm) when the rheostat is set to "high", and naturally you can dial the rpm's down from there.

(I confirmed this by wiring the yellow "tachometer" wire to a mobo fan header and monitored with speedfan while the red/black power/ground lines were connected to a molex)

I took my stock fan out and dropped in a S-FLEX no need to worry about the controller, the control that came with it does work fine tho if you wanna use the supplied fan to adjust airflow and noise.
