Still trying to solve this. I read about the skylake cpu fan issues and saw that once someone updated their bios they had another setting of auto or 4pin, and I thouoght maybe 3pin would be in there too. I updated to 1.7 and there are no new fan settings in my bios.

If I can't figure this out soon I'll have to send the board back for refund and get a different one that can control my 3pin case fan speed, because I can't handle this noise in my living room.
ASRock boards seem to have fan control issues/poor documentation. There's not a word anywhere I can find about the fan headers in the manual other than where they are on the board, and for some reason, how to plug the fans in the right orientation, even though they're keyed and you can only plug them in one way. Take out that useless information and include the specifics about speed control.
