i replaced the stock cooler on my 9800 Pro with the Vantec Iceberq 4.
(thought id fked my gfx card up but its ok)

the fan is loud as hell (as its at 100% i guess)

i have it plugged into one of the fan headers (out of 2 by the ICE radiator(1 and 3 i believe), the other one being taken up by the RPM wire on my 120mm fan (that is molexed not 3pin mobo'd))

now in speed fan both fans RPMS come up as 0 (How do i get the rpms to show?!? both fans plugged into the Mobo headers have RPM wires)

how do i:

A) Set up speed fan for my SB75
B) Make it monitor the RPMs of my 120mm fan and my iceberq
C) lower the speed of my icebeq 4
D) get it to work on start up
E) Get speedfan to show fan speeds

and what is a safe percentage to run the iceberq on the 9800 at:

A) as quiet as possible
B) whilst maintaining a decent level of cooling for the 9800PRO running stock and overclocked (via ATI tool)(also have ram sinks on the bga chips)
C) get it to ramp up fan speed automatically when i am using the overclocked profile in Ati Tool (i dont think my 9800Pro has a temp sensor)

i really would appreciate a complete step by step walk through (this program is alien to me, ive only used it as a temp monitor)

if possible via IM (im in the UK)

I have SpeedFan 4.20 ( I think later versions are broke for Shuttle xPCs ) installed on a SB75G2. I didn't have to do any setup of SpeedFan ( other than figuring which sensors are which and renaming them ). You have to go into your BIOS and set the fan speeds to FULL ( or anything other than AUTO ) in order to give control to SpeedFan. You still won't have full range over the fans unless you connect a 10K Ohm pot. to the fan. Without the pot., I believe the active speeds are 5 to 15%. Anything higher is Full Speed. I also have a SPDT switch inline with the ICE fan to give control back to the BIOS with the flip of a switch. I use ATI Tool to control my x800 xt pe fan speed depending on temperature levels.

A fan controller in the 3.5" bay will do the same as the pot. and switch. I just didn't want to use the bay.
