Get 2, 4 way fan splitters, which are powered by molex and plugged into a PWM slot on motherboard (need 2, 4pin slots on MB)

If your motherboard has a way to control them that is....

Or use what tristan1035 said, fan xpert should be able to do it.

Fan Xpert does that I think.

 

Yeah, my motherboard has Fan Xpert 1 and i have automatic fan control enabled, but they don't seem to go down at anytime so i donno if the software is bad or something.

Yeah that actually exactly what i have, and i have them set to go down when the cpu is at a low temperature and go up when it increases, but they dont seem to respond much...

You could use speedfan to control them. I'd suggest to check how you have set fan controlling in BIOS. My mobo is very specific how BIOS and software controlling work together.
