You could put a resistor on the fan hub (input 5v/7v into the fan hub instead of 12v).

Either a dedicated fan controller or use the fan headers on your motherboard and control the through your uefi bios.

plug the fan hub into a motherboard fan header??

Wouldn't it damage the Mobo? Running like 8 fans from one header.

No, but unless your motherboard has DC fan control you couldn't control the hub off of a single header anyway. (Plus a single header doesn't have the power to power 8 fans). 

 

The viable options would be:
