thank you so much for your help. I've already got SpeedFan installed on my
computer. But haven't used it so much before. I installed it to check the
temperature inside my case. but after installing fans then I'll be using it
a lot more I think.

I've got the basic IS7 version.

ok - Speedfan settings can be a little tricky to work out; so if you
need any guidance on that I could post my own which might give some
insight.

There's a .pdf User Manual for the IS7 mobo here:

(about 3MB)

Thanks

In SpeedFan main window report the speed from 3 fans:
Fan1: 2813 RPM
Fan2: 0 RPM
Fan3: 3013 RPM

The case got 1 CPU fan in addition to those 2 case fans I installed
yesterday... I wonder which of them is fan1, fan2, fan3. any ideas about how
to find that out?

on my IS7 the standard chipset fan is broken. I removed it for about 6
months ago and used a passive cooling instead. So this means that nbfan1
isn't in use right now, I wonder if I can use nbfan1 for an additional case
fan?

Best Regards
