Is fan control on a 939 board now the norm?

I have an older AOpen board with Silent Tek fan control. After living with the ability to control fan speeds by % rates I couldnt live with a board that didnt have that capacity.

So my question is if this feature is the norm now on boards. IF not I would appreciate if people could list the manufacturers/boards that have this kind of feature.

Thanks.
 
Some do, some don't, and the amount of "do" varies. For instance, my ECS NFORCE4-A939 board doesn't. My Biostar Tforce6100-939 board does for CPU fan only. My wife's Abit K8N board does for CPU fan only. My DFI LANPARTY Ultra-D does for three separate fans independantly (CPU, chipset and aux).
 
Are you sure that the KN8 does it only for CPU?
Certainly AN8's & AT8's have it for more but they are all uGuru boards.
Imo uGuru is far superior to DFI's SmartGuardian (had an SLI-DR).
 
The ECS NF3 250 SMART FAN starts at 40C and ramps up to max around 50C (ref CPU temp). The other fan plug runs at 12VDC.
 
Well then my KT400 Aopen board was truly ahead of its time with the fan controls, it sounds more comprehensive than most of the new boards.
