Trying to build a new HTPC and am looking for a motherboard that has the variable CPU fan and a variable Chassis fan. The Variable chassis fan (PWM) is where I am having not much luck with..
Am looking for….
· Vista Certified
· 6 SATA Ports
· Variable CPU & Chassis fan
· Don’t care about on-board video
· AM2 Socket
· And preferably Cheap ;)
Any suggestions, or opinions out there?

Re: Am2 Motherboard with variable Chassis fan?
can't think of any motherboards that have 4-pin chassis fan connectors for AMD's AM2...

Re: Am2 Motherboard with variable Chassis fan?
The Gigabyte GA-M56S-S3 uses a very recent nVidia chipset that has 4 SATA and 1 IDE port driven natively (not through the poxy JMB36x). It also allows you to control the chassis fan via the BIOS. It works well, and is also a superb and inexpensive MoBo (with Firewire).
Not sure why 4 SATA ports is not enough??
