Nope, I own one of those Cooler Master sleeve bearing fans and they hate low voltage and make a weird noise when you put them under low voltage. They don't make a ton of noise but it's far more worth your time to get be Quiet! or Noctua fans which will last longer and be quieter.

What do you think about these fans?

If i put these fans under low voltage with the fan controller I'm not going to get the same problem?

The bequiet silent wings are a lot quieter, even without a fan controller.

Yeah but the problem is that my motherboard only support two fans.

There are these things called "fan splitters" which allow you to plug in multiple fans (2-3) into one header.

It's much better than the Cooler Master fans and should work well with a splitter or fan controller.

Yeah but you know with the splitter I can only control 1 fan, and what about the other fan ?

Both fans will be controlled together.

are you sure? because with the splitter 1 conector have 4 pins and the other have only 3 pins.

What splitter are you looking at?

These are the correct fans?

And it seems that the fans come with a some molex 4 pin conector with voltage regulator so I can conect two fans to my motherboard and the other two to the psu with low voltage so I don't need to buy a splitter what do you think?

The fans come with a 4 pin fan header connector, not a 4 pin molex connector.

You can't attach them to a PSU without a molex to fan adapter.

so you think I will be okay if I connect two fans to the motherboard and the other two to the PSU with that fan header connector?

I don't need the splitter?

If you have a molex to fan adapter, then sure.

I let you a picture with the things that the be quiet fan come.

and if I need a splitter do you think this would be nice?
but I already told you one conector have 3 pins and the other have 4 pins.

1) the first image will let you plug the fans into the PSU, yes.

2) the second image is a splitter, yes

3) the reason it only has 3 pins is because you can only monitor the speed of one fan, not both. You can still control both fans.

Well that was the thing I told you before the be quiet fan come with a psu conector with voltage regulator (first picture) but you said that doesn't work without a molex.

and I don't know if it's better spend my money for a splitter or connect the last two fans to my psu.

Well they will still be quiet when connected to the PSU, but you can't change the speed.

You save a few bucks though...

Those fans are like any vacumn cleaner. I'd say get bequiet fans or noctua and use a Bitfenex fan controller. I have done it before and they worked great

I'm not completely sure if be quiet silent wings 2 gonna fit in my case because the top and front fans use different screw C Bolt (BH M3*28mm)
I'm just saying because these fans come with ruber mounting and I don't want to pay extra for things that I'm not going to use and it seems that the fan is not PWM that's what people say in the reviews.

You don't really need to fill every fan slot, technically
