But it can. Whether a fan can be controlled depends on the header you plug the fan into and not the fan itself.

The motherboard only has 2 fan headers which you should be using if you want any fan control. What headers did you plug each fan into?

If you're not sure what case fans you have, post some photos of them.

Hi there, 

just bought the AT2020 microphone but what I already expected, happened.

My case fans are far too loud

What case do you have?

Artic or fractal make cheaper priced fans.

 

But,

I highly recommend beQuiet.

I also recommend Noctua

Sorry for the late response.

on my cheap ass fans it’s not possible to change the speed. :D

That wasn't late at all. This is a forum and not a live chat so it's pretty normal for replies to take a day or so.

Thermal take h15

i5 6500

gigabyte H110M-S2H

16gb ddr4 2133mhz

Note:

I am looking in to upgrading to an Ryzen 7 2700X with a 450m motherboard and 3000mhz ram. So I’ll probably do this in a few months!

Are you referring to the stock case fan? It should have a 3pin fan connector and can be controlled through the motherboard's sys_fan header. 

Are you using any aftermarket fans?

The stock cooler that came with the case is not controllable. I have 2 fans in front but no clue what brand whatsoever, it’s from AliExpress so I can’t expect much.

On my CPU I use the stock cooler
