Software Fan Speed Controller

I just plugged in my build, said a quick yolo, (lol water got under my GPU backplate) and it lives! I installed six Scythe GTs and they are running at full speed instead of at a nice 900 RPM. They are plugged into splitters then to my motherboard. What is the best way to control fan speed using software? I have enough speed limiters to plug the fans directly into if it comes down to that. The fans are on radiators.

 

Thanks!

JayzTwoCents had a video about how he keeps his 12 fans quiet. He uses some program that raises fan speed with workload.

Is there also some kind of software that you can use with 3-pin fans, so via voltage? Because SpeedFan seems to only be able to control PWM. Or is it just my motherboard (Gigabyte B75M-D3P) that doesn't support it?

I use it partially as a Hackintosh. Don't judge me.
