Why do you only have PWM control on the CPU headers

Hi
I have been having trouble with controlling a water pump on my motherboard, its an ASUS though, but i found that almost non of the motherboard manufactures make motherboards which are able to control PWM fans via PWM.
Why is that?

kommer der osse en oversættelse? 🤣

Hej
Jeg har haft problemer med at styre en vandpumpe på mit bundkort, det er dog et ASUS, men jeg har fundet ud af, at næsten ingen producenter af bundkort laver bundkort der er i stand til at styre PWM fans via PWM.
Hvorfor er det sådan?

Håber det kan bruges ;)

Og så lige overskriften:
"Hvorfor har I kun PWN styring på CPU stikket."
Så er der vist ikke meget tvivl mere :P

I cannot answer your question directly...
However, you should check the ratings on the pump!!! And bare in mind that I-startup is 6 times higher - with due respect, such should be on fancontroller or directly through molex, in case of a 18W pump, its 1.5A, or... Hold on... 9A during startup, that isnt easy on the mobo.
Just my 50 cents.

It is powered directly from molex Mark :)

Hi unnamet,
since your motherboard is from another manufacturer I cannot be specific however I can try to give you some explanation.
To offer PWM support the motherboard also needs a chipset and different fan-headers than the normal 3-pin fan headers that your motherboard may have. The PWM options are more expensive and since PWM have not been as popular as one would think the costs has been kept down on motherboards since customer does not want to pay extra for features they do not use. Basically it's a price <-> demand reason.
GIGABYTE motherboards offers several PWM fan headers on most of our boards (Except the low-end models) and in our latest series almost all the fan headers offer PWM support. For instance we have 5 PWM fan headers on our popular mid-range GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 motherboard.
If you have a more specific question about one of our products then please do not hesitate to contact me again.
Have a nice day!

Sorry to say but it aint PWM control for all the sys fans, only the CPU fan header is true PWM.
The PWM pin gets Vcc = 5v = 100% duty and then the speed is controlled by changing the voltage it gets like normal 3pin fans.
I just looked, even your most expensive motherboard, GA-Z97X-Gaming G1 WIFI-BK, does not support it.

Hi 😀
Yes it would be great if the MB had PWM control for all the fans, but it seemes to be to expensive. Anyway - if it was possible to by one, I would look deep in my pockets to find money to buy it 😀
I don`t know, but maybe it could be solved by making a seperate pci-e card with PWM controllers?.
Just an idea 😀
