[EDIT] I just clued in that the 4pin headers can also control 3pin fans via Voltage control, and plugged in a regular 3pin case fan, and to my enjoyment, it actually worked. So I tore off my stock CPU cooler fan which apparently is the faulty part and replaced it with the case fan. And as a bonus, this new fan only spins at 2300 RPM as apposed to the god awfully loud 4,300 RPM fan that came stock, so even at 100% load, im not going deaf.
I just recently got a GA-EP45-UD3L and replaced my old motherboard with it.
Everything is working fine except for the 4pin header you're supposed to plug your CPU fan into, when I plug my fan in, and turn the computer on, the fan does not start up with it.
I can plug the fan into a 3 pin fan header on the motherboard, it turns on, but running at full speed.
Are there any settings in the BIOS that need to be set to activate them, or is it probably a bad board? I'm buying a new CPU cooler soon so I'll know if it's a 4th pin problem on my current fan.
Also, is it possible to control the speed settings of the 3pin system fan headers on the motherboard? I'm not familiar with the BIOS, it's the F7 one as well.
