    Which mobo's support fan speed control?

    I have the A7N8X-X and it seems speedfan can control the CPU fan only.

    I'd like to know if the A7N8X DX does so for the other fan headers as well and which other motherboards can be controlled with speedfan.
    Speedfan's supported P4 motherboard database is extensive but i dont see any AMD boards in it.

    The A7N8X has a feature called Qfan wich simply lets you set lower CPU fan speed in bios. At a set temp the fan will return to 100% speed. I found out that set temp was fixed at 50C in my case which is why i went looking for some form of contol. After searching bios updates and ASUS utilities I found speedfan.
    If your board has a simular feature it should support cpu fan control via speedfan.

    Im also curious about making it like a two stage controller by using a two speed fan as well. Know any two speed fans which have adjustable temp setting or would i need to get out the solering iron?

    Thanks

    i havent used it but my cousin uses it on his nf7-s... as far as i know he only uses the cpu header for his volcano2 fan...it works fine
    so i dunno if it affects the other 2 headers..
