From what I've tried unplugging them works best for making them quieter. It just overheats quicker (then it did before)

Ok so I have 4 fans in my system all connected to one fan header on my mobo via a NZXT Fan Hub (its not the one where you can download software and control them) 

Was just wondering if I was able to download some other software or something and control the speeds of my fans

Do you mean as 1 or seperately?

Seperately no, since they are all counted as 1. If you wanted to control them seperately you need a fan controller.

With a program like FanSpeed if your mobo is supported, otherwise you can change the speed in your BIOS.

Currently I do exactly the same. I have all my fan headers coming out a port hole in the back of my case and there I just unplug and plug in fans as I need them. Manual fan controlling
