Question about Case Fan...

Herro, so I have a total of 5 fans. 3 Chassis, 2 on the front for pull and 1 on the top for push. The other 2 are on my H80i. I have the Corsair SPEC 01 case and before on the front, I only had one fan. The reason why I didn't add another fan on is because I was missing 4 screws so I had to put on fan away. Pulled out one of the screws holding in the fan that came with the case and went to Home Depot to see if they have a pack of those. Surely they did, proceeded with adding on another fan. Didn't have a spot on my motherboard to plug it in so I used the 3Pin-to-Molex that came with my fan (NZXT FZ 120mm). It works but it seems to spin at full speed and is really loud. Is there other solution to this?

You could get either a Y splitter and take both front fans and connect them to a PWN fan header on your motherboard to control them via the BIOS, or do it the easy way and get a little resistor and plug it between the fan header or molex and the fan-cable, so it reduces the volt from 12V to 7V.

Example for a resistor:
