Hello!
I'm planning to re-use an older case for my little brothers first PC (most of the parts will be a hand-downs from me), and I'm having some trouble figuring out if I will be able to connect the new fans to the old fan controller.

I'm thinking of installing four of these fairly cheap fans in place of the old ones.

This is the motherboard.

The old fans (which I think are these) had RGB, and connected to a fan controller called DF-906 (couldn't find any information about this fan controller after googling it).

The description of the fan connector in the manual states the following:

"Fan connector port: (PH2.0) 6P, the interface is parallel, 6 - way fan lighting synchronization, line sequence: FAN / 12V / FGND / LGND / DATA / +5V"

The DeepCool fans are rated for 12V, so if I plug them into the upper 3pin part of the 6pin, they should work, if I'm not mistaken.

I don't care much about the RGB or controlling the speed, the main objective it to get them to work.

If there are any better/more simple ways to plug all 4 case fans in, do let me know.

Thank you for your time!
Edit:
I decided to just connect the exhaust fan to the PSU using the included Molex connector, in stead of frying my fans or something else. It works well, the other fans are connected to the motherboard and also work well.
