I'm unclear on how fan speed can be controlled by the BIOS, the
motherboard, programs like SpeedFan, etc. Hard-wiring in a
potentiometer somewhere in the power wires to the fans allows
regulation of the voltage to the fan, and so fan speed. But I don't
see how the motherboard, BIOS, or SpeedFan does this.
There is the one line to the mobo from the fan that let the mobo
*monitor* the fan's speed (presumably the RPM?). But the fan power
comes from the power supply directly, and I don't see how that's
changed by the mobo or SpeedFan.
Could someone please explain? Thanks.
