Here's what the docs says : - Fan Xpert 4 featuring Fan Auto Tuning function and multiple thermistors selection for optimized system cooling control I find it somewhat pretty ironic here, normally gamer rig would be water cooled and have multi colored fan with nice led. You are trying to get rid of the fans ! There's a unique reason why gamer modify their system and use water cooling or many other way to get rid of heat. Because gamer rig normally produce hell of heat. Like already explained by others, if you want to persist in this vein, you can always install your own thermistors and fan, and control these yourself the same way you'd control some type of hardware device with a GPIO or I2C bus driven setup. But seems that the standard software doesn't play along. Probably your board has it's own proprietary way of managing the fans instead of using the normal way of reporting sensor. Normal way being what is set in standards and compatible between brands. Often on those type of budget motherboard, they'll cut the cost by using unconventional way of doing thing. If it's possible to cut the chip driving the I2C (1 wire bus) used to drive the fan then they'll do so. I think you got all the information at hand now. -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
