Case fans running at full speed

[Rahmat]

i have 4 fans and only 1 system fan header so the remaining 3 are connected to the power supply but the problem is that they run at full speed at all times.Is there any solution to this?

If you want to control them, you need a fan controller or splitters to plug them into your motherboard.

Well theres a few solutions. If they are PWM fans (4pins) then you can use a program called SpeedFan to control their speed, but they must be connected to a splitter to make the process easier.

 

There is also molex voltage splitters you can buy. They have 3 x 3pin headers coming from a single molex header, with various voltages 5v, 7v or 12v. The lower the voltage the lower the fan speed.

 

A 3rd option is similar to the second, you can buy a fan hub that has voltage regulators on it. Bitspower makes one 3 9 x 3pin headers....giving you 3x5v, 3x7v and 3x12v. Its abit of a muck around but you could power 3 fans off any one of those 3 headers by using fan splitters. So theoretically you could run 9 fans at 5v by using 3 x 3pin fan splitters plugged into each of the 3 5v headers for example.

I have dealt with this issue a couple of times:

 

1. Use a fan hub.
2. Use a fan splitter.

For both options ensure you buy the correct 3 or 4(pwm) pin, to match the fans you have.
