Nowadays current mobo's use software provided in the installation CD, I would take a quick search on the mobo brand and downloads for the mobo see if there is any fan controlling software, other than that its likely in the bios/

There are also a lot of other free programs that allow you to monitor hardware status:
HWMonitor Pro (64Bit) http://download.cnet.com/HWMonitor [...] opDownForm

CPU-Z (32bit and 64bit versions): http://download.cnet.com/CPU-Z/300 [...] opDownForm

You can typically monitor status of your hardware from the BIOS. To determine whether or not you can control your fans from BIOS you would need to check your motherboards manual.

If you want to be able to increase/decrease fan speeds manually, then there are a lot of fan controllers available on the market.
