Subject: Fancontrol with Z97 Extreme6
Posted: 20 May 2016 at 1:16pm
I use an NH-D14 on my ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ board. The stock fans are both three pin, as you know.
I replaced the NF P12 with a 120mm PWM fan, on the CPU_FAN1 header, and the NF P14 is on the CPU_FAN2 header. Both fans have their speeds controlled fine.
ASRock has made a point of offering mother boards whose orientation is not simply for gaming or over clocking. They have included M.2 ports on some of their X99 and Z97 boards. As you know, others are just catching up now.
An M.2 port is not enough if you want to use a Samsung 950 Pro NVMe SSD as the OS drive. The board's UEFI must have NMVe support, as well as have the ability to configure the CSM option. ASRock has provided both of these things on all of their boards that have M.2 ports.
