ok the fans you have installed are they three wire ones or two wire ones . Check the number of wires between the fan and the connector. Speed is only shown by the three wire fans. Secondly check the mobo mannual and see the pin setup and match with the fans if not same switch wires. Then it will work and the fan rpm will be seen by the software.
