Problem with Thermaltake Commander C32 ARGB case

[Amaregaz]

Hey guys,
I bought the Thermaltake Commander C32 ARGB case and I paired it with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro.

Everything works fine except that I can't control the front fans RPM and the fans are quite loud.

The case has it's own Hub(capture.png)

The 2 white cables on the left are the 2 front fans, 3rd one is a dummy.
The one on top is connected to the motherboard to D_LED1. (aorus.png)
The one on the bottom is the RGB SW and next to it is SATA Power.

Did I miss something or there is no way to control the RPM of the front fans?

I think I have a solution but I'm not 100% sure it will work.

 

I'll buy an extension with one male Sata Power and 2 female.

 

The Sata P from the case hub will go into one of the female and in the other one I'll plug in a Sata Power to 4 Pin PWM.

 

The remaining Sata P male will go into the PSU.

from my guess, they're 3 pin voltage control fans

most mid to low tier case has those 3pin fans

 

u can't control their rpm via pwm (4pin)

from my experience your mobo can control them if yer mobo can support voltage control (options in bios, check your mobo manual)

you can make non pwm fans in to pwm

you can also 12v 5v or 7v them using switches or use resisters / pot to controll the voltage that way or  by a fan controller but thows are not pwm fans. you would need an adapter like this to make em pwm but then you have to re wire it as its not stander connector... alot of work for crap case fans imo...

I checked the mobo's manual and I can control them with DC.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as what I should buy and make it work without cutting cables
