One "speed controller" controls the fans in the Antec PSU and the 120mm case fans and the other "speed controller" controls the blower cooling the heat pipes on the Gigabyte heatsink. It was the latter that was making the high-pitched noise.
So these things are not knobs you twiddle, but rather something the OS is supposed to manage?
Let's see if we can make this simple for you. These are manually controlled fans. They use a knob that you can use to control the speed of the fan based on your own needs. Not too hard to understand really. There are also models available, mainly for cpu's, that are controlled by heat sensors that will vary the speed of the cpu fan depending on how much load, and heat is being generated by the cpu. OH, and no, the OS is totally unaware of these 'manual' knobs. Mike -- Powered by SuSE 10.0 Kernel 2.6.13 X86_64 KDE 3.4 Kmail 1.8 11:14am up 6 days 2:15, 4 users, load average: 2.04, 2.10, 2.13
