I bought two Corsair AF120 quiet edition fans to go in the front of my NZXT S340. But they are loud as hell and i want to decrease the speed. I tried going in my bios but there i can only change the speed of system fan 1, but my fans are connected to system fan 1, 2, 3, and cpu fan 2. So i thought about a fan splitter. if i connect this fan splitter: https://azerty.nl/0-1167-601800/gelid-solutions-pwm-1-to-4-splitter-splitskabel-voor-ventilatorstroom.html to system fan 1, will i be able to control all the fans in my system when i change the speed of system fan 1? Thanks for the help.

I have the same splitter, all the fans will run at the same rpm, you can't control them individually

I tried speedfan already but that didn't work for me.

You have all of your fans connected to your motherboard headers right? Also you cannot have 3 pin fans connected to a 4 pin header otherwise you cannot control your fan speed.

Yeah i have all of them connected to my motherboard. they are all 3 pin fans. i can't control the fans that are connected to 3 pin headers. system fan 1 is the only system fan header that is 4 pin. can is still connect my 3 pin fans to that fan splitter?

Ok well you could try plugging different fans into the fan header that allows you to control the fan speed.

But then i will still be able to control only 1 fan and i want to control all of them. I think that fan splitter is gonna work.
