Fan controllers

Hi. 

 

I recently built my new computer but my (ITX) motherboard only has 3 fan headers. 
One of these is taken by a motherboard cooling fan, the other CPU fan leaving me with one fan header to drive my case exhaust fan and my 2 radiator fans. 

I am currently using a 1-3 splitter for the fan header but i would like more control over my fan speed as it is kinda loud. 

Are there any fan controllers/hubs which i could use. The fans are not RGB. 

 

I have found

 

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-rgb-fan-hub-controller-black-fg-06k-cs.html

 

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-universal-pwm-fan-hub-black-ca-08x-pt.html

 

I do not have much space in my case so more than 3 headers is unnecessary.

 

Thank you very much

First link is for RGB hub. It has some mistake in title claiming it to be for fan speed/power too, which it isn't. Second link is actual fan hub/controller with remote. It has some chip inside in order to make 3pin fans follow PWM control, if you need such.

Thank you very much. Do you have any other suggestions?

Not really. Unless you are willing to sacrifice pure control on either mobo or CPU fan. As you can get plenty of fans just with splitters.

What motherboard are you using? Have you tried editing fan curves?
