sc5600 and s5520hc make very loud fan-noise

Hello,

I have a s5520hc mainboard in a sc5600BRP case.

My issue is that the chassis fans are usually and the psu fans always at 100% load and accordingly very loud (CPU fans not because i use passive coolers).

Im 99% sure that all fan connectors are in the right place for this chassis and this mainboard.

I have installed the newest firmware update with the settings given for this particular chassis and after that i set the the acoustic-settings to 'pls be quiet!'.

I tried to control the fans with 'fancontrol' and 'pwmconfig' on my linux install. There it says that there are no pwm-sensors.

The temperatur of the CPUs are always about 40 degrees.

What i wrote above hasnt solved the issue.

Has anyone an idea how to control the fans and is it at all possible to control the PSU fans?

By the way i have two Intel 750W DPS-750PB PSU's.

Thanks for your answers.

Ok, i have an update:

the fans of the psu's are quieter than before the efi-update.

The fans of the chassis are still most the time at 100% but sometimes (during the startprocess) they were quieter. This leads me to think that in principle the fans can be throtteled. Now im searching for a method how i can do this.

By the way i think eve if 'pwmconfig says that there are no pwm-sensors, the technical pruduct specification says that on every fan-pin-out there is this:

"Pin ..... | fan PWM | Out | FAN_PWM signal to control fan speed"

If this isnt a pwm-sensor correct me please.
