FAN Controller Problem

Hello everyone,

 

Recently I bought ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard and MS Industrial Iron case. This case came with a built-in fan controller and a single fan.

I realised that my fan is all time at 100% and it is very loud. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect a fan controller or fan (the fan comes with a 6-pin connector) to the motherboard because the fan controller comes with 3-pin ARGB and GDV connectors which my motherboard doesn't support. There is no PWM connector on the fan controller so I'm not able to connect it to the motherboard. Is there any way to connect it to the motherboard so I can controll rpm?

it depends on the voltage of the fan. If it's a 12V fan then you'd need an adapter, but if it's a 5V fan you can connect power, ground, and RPM to the pins on your board. Worth testing out to see how it runs. you'd have to snip the cables running from the fan to get that working though...

My profile picure is real. That's what I look like in real life. I'm actually a blue and white African Wild Dog.
