Can anyone offer a suggestion for controlling fan speed? The fans in my system are quite audible. Would this work:

Are you sure that the system is not controlling fan speed? Are you saying it's always running full-out? If you're using HWMonitor, it may (should?) show the fan speed. Test it by pushing it and seeing if the fan speed changes. Is the system running hot?

Don't know about the item you suggested, but depending on your case, it may be that you could replace with a quieter fan. There's lots of fans out there that are supposed to be super-quiet, but I don't know much about that.

Hi,

I used the same mb, cpu and ssd, bought the corsair vengeance ram but I can't make it to the desktop without booting with -x

Otherwise I get the "dsmos has arrived" error and I'm stuck in the booting process.

I did reinstall mavericks several times, changing some settings in Multibeast - without success.

Does anyone have an idea?
 
My fans aren't running full out, and I've got a noctua 140 in the rear of the case. My front fan is a 230mm giant. The thing is, I'm wondering if there's a way to lower their default speed without removing their ability to ramp up with heavy use. 95% of the time this machine sits idle.

I didn't notice but it turns out we have the same case (with that giant front fan). I can only provide the (anec)data point that I find mine quite quiet, and I only have the stock intel cpu fan. Other than that I don't know how to change the default fan speed.

So how are you liking your Aero Cool case? I'm quite happy with mine. It's got a great look and the size is about right.

I'm also happy with it - nice size, look is good, the top panel is nice and I like the setup to charge things / connect things easily. And it has been about as quiet as I expected, not completely silent, but barely noticeable - that big fan is nice. I thought the internal layout could be a bit better (for me fitting the power supply in was a bit of a hassle), but now that I'm done of course that's not an issue.

On your fan speed, have you tried messing with the BIOS settings? It's in the motherboard manual, I just haven't tried it. Or boot into windows and use the utility to tweak it.

My machine does not respect my bios preferences. Regardless of saves or whatnot, I routinely find that my preferences are not as I left them

That sounds like a corrupted UEFI. I'd do a cold boot, remove mobo battery or hit CMOS jumpers, put battery back in, and load Optimized Defaults. Then boot OS X normally.

If you have other things set in UEFI, do that upon 2nd successful boot.

This could help.
