using kase server to control CPU fan

[inogen]

Hi, I'm putting a new system together. I'll be using an Asus p7p55d motherboard and a thermalright TRUE cooler with either two 120mm fans on push / pull or one single fan on push.

Is it possible to use the Kase Server to control these fan(s)? Rather than connect them to the motherboard and use software?

Cheers

John

Hallo inogen,

you can install fans with Kaze Server and config temperature on Kaze Server. After fan will speed up or less but with temperature sensor it´s not really exact. Kaze Server have no software included.

OKI

I'd like to add that the rpm regulation of Asus boards works rather good with PWM enabled fans. So if you'd choose Slipstream PWM as you fan (or two of them with PWM Y-cable) you could connect them to the board directly and let the rpm be controlled by the board. Normally Asus offers three possible settings like Performance, Normal and Silent to influence when and how much the rpm is raised or lowered.

Well that's cool. But what I was hoping was to control the cpu cooler fans through the Kaze Server generally set on auto and sometimes manually increasing the fan speeds to control temps as I software overclock depending on what tasks I'm doing.

Sometimes the PC will only be used for light surfing, sometimes for Photoshop / gaming. I don't want / need to have my CPU constantly overclocked. Having to enter the bios to set up fan speeds is something I was hoping to avoid through purchasing a kaze server.

The motherboard offers three settings - performance, normal and silent. I might want to go from silent to performance by increasing FSB and turning up the fans.

Hi Hope I'm not disdurbing Y post.
I use AI Suite (v1.05.35)& Fan Expert with my ASUS RGene and Grand Kama Cross.To get low fan speeds and noise when average use and gaming my Kaze Server regulate the Musashi GC cooler by temp sensing temp of air after heatpipe-sink but before the VRM smaller sinks.From a lower,set temp level, when loading grafics it will increase to max speed.
The GKC is regulated by MB and I use the settings in AI Suite/Fan expert one called "USER" This can be set to Your discretion, i.e it can be set to any style Y want with three set points and two "angles"
See this snip.

Reg the fans of the Musashi 2pcs Kaze-Jyu SY1025SL12M 3-pin.(2x72 m3/h)
The cord for the tempsensor at center of right fan.

I bought the Kaze Server mainly to regulate the fans when I tested out the Big Shuriken because when changing the fan it wasn't a PWM fan. Then I used the tempsensor to read the heatsink and airtemp of CPU. Worked fine for me.
This arrangement works nicely since even when gaming the CPU doesn't load all cores and temp changes are slow due to mass. My build in signature.
In my albums are more of interest maybe.
