Why is it showing N/A on those fans? Are they not being detected or ? I see they are spinning and shit in the case but why don't they show up here

If they are 3 pin fans, you wont see anything because there is no sense wire.

The sense wire is still there on a 3-pin fan. Not saying every fan is like that, but to claim 3-pin fans in general do not have a sense wire is incorrect.

@StoryVFX

Do you have your fans plugged into the CPU_FAN header on your motherboard? Or elsewhere?

The readings correspond to specific motherboard fan headers. Do you have anything plugged into those fan headers?

Ahh I understand, so I must connect each fan to those headers on the mobo in able to control them in the bios? That's a lot of cables lol

You can get Y-splitters(like your H100x uses) so they can be connected to a single header(for example, if they perform the same function and in the same location).

It's 1x cable per fan. If you want independent control for each fan, that's what I recommend.

If you use a splitter / hub, all fans connected to it will follow the same fan curve and report the fan rpm from 1x designated fan header on the splitter / hub.

What @WoodenMarker means is that headers with nothing connected show N/A.

 

If you're using headers that show N/A, which fans are attached, how many, and what is the rated amps?

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
