Will fans connected via a SATA splitter always run at full speed?

TLDR got home from work was excited to see my aio from newegg came in. In a rush I just used the sata to 2x 3pin adapter that came in the box and the fans are obnoxiously loud. Is this basically the same thing as if I had plugged the fans in with molex?

yes, it will be the same thing, best to plug them into your motherboard via splitter etc to control them

Damn. I think I have enough fan headers plus a splitter. I'll have to figure it out tomorrow. I've wasted enough time for one night getting it installed.

depends if it pulls voltage from 5v or 12v, most of them are 12v so the fans are running full speed

 

just use a fan splitter and use 1 mobo header for maximum of 2 fans

Thanks. I need to power 5 fans total. I have a splitter in there already. I hope I have enough
