So hey i bought a non pwm corsair sp120 high perf. Dual pack. So question can i somehow control it with corsair link(or anything for that matter) to be lower rpm? I can't get it to under 1900rpm any suggestions what can i do to it? Its pretty loud and annoying. Thanks in advance!

Yup that will work. I have a phantom 410, that has built in, ask my fans hooked to that, can get them nice and quiet

Does your built in fan controller buzz really loudly on the second setting?

Hm, mine does, I also have a 410 and it only does it on the 2nd setting. I was just curious weather it was just me or not.

Nope, mine is perfectly quiet on all settings (well, fans make fan sounds, but i mean controller)

If you open the front door there's a really small 3way lever switch on the right side next to the 5.25 bays. It has a writing next to it 5v-7v-12v. You can connect 3, 3pin fans and it needs molex power.
