Antec 900 PC Case - How do I change the speed settings on the fans?

I read on the box that the case has 3 speed settings for the fans, but I can't figure out how to change the setting. The 2 fans at the front aren't even moving. Can it be accessed through software or is it an internal switch (and if so, where is the switch)?

The Antec %26quot;Tricool%26quot; case fans each have a 3-way switch at the end of a wire that's inside the case and extends from the side of the fan housing. It should be dangling about in there somewhere. It's a tiny little square thing with a tiny little switch on it you can set to low, medium, or high.



I keep mine on low and use the Cool %26amp; Quiet program, after enabling it in BIOS, to control the CPU fan, though the Tricool fans aren't equipped to connect to the mobo so I just ordered two new fans to replace them, with the three necessary wires for the mobo to control fan speed.



The tricools only have 2 wires and thus, even with an adapter to plug into the mobo plugs, it won't be able to read them or control speed. You'll have to do it manually, which goes to show how out of touch Antec cases are.Antec 900 PC Case - How do I change the speed settings on the fans?
nevermind, that video was for something complete different.
