I first went through the steps posted here (I read the SBR and SPD out of a true Integrated card), and when that didn't pan out (although it may have worked exactly the same...

So it seems like my only real solution to this problem will be to get the SuperMicro CB3 power boards, which give more control over the fans. SuperMicro was of no help - the agent I was communicating with suggested that the reason the stock fans spun down was because they draw too much power...

That's a neat little board... too bad they don't seem to have one with three or more outputs... Not sure how it would work driving three fans off of the one output. I'd be somewhat surprised if it worked right. I wonder if someone else makes one with more outputs. I'll have to look around...
