Most of the fans (listed below) in my computer have the choice of either flat speed or using a controller so I bought a Thermaltake X-Controller to run 4 of the fans speed manually.
The problem is that now I can't tell the temperatures or fan speed etc without the fans being plugged into the motherboard.
My question is, which is better for cooling, using the X-Contoller manually or having the fans plugged into the motherboard and using a program like speedfan?
Any advice would be appreciated
