Won't it run off my CPU PWM

Specs say you have:

- 1 x 4-pin CPU fan connector
- 1 x 4-pin system fan connector
- 1 x 3-pin system fan connector

 

so just hook up the Y splitter to the system fan connector.

I have an MSI A78M-E35 Mobo. Just bought a Corsair 100R case today and some NZXT AER Fans with a Hue+.

Everything is working properly but My mobo only has ONE 4pin Fan header. and One 3pin fan header.

Is there a way to actually control the Fan Speed on the fan that is on the 3 pin header?

 

Notes: I checked BIOS and only the Fan that had the 4pin connector was showing.

i bought this when it was $10

helped me double my 4pin header - although in your case it would be running off the same PWM signal as your CPU fan

 

im not saying to buy this exact model but im sure you can get a cheaper Y-splitter adapter

if it's not in your BIOS, you might not be able to.

 

just get a Y splitter.

so just hook up the Y splitter to the system fan connector.
