is it plugged onto your motherboard? or your power supply?

3pin or 4pin?

 

edit: nvm it has to be your mobo or else it wouldnt tell you the rpm (face palm) sry.

3 pin on the mother board

If your motherboard bios allows you to control fans on the motherboard header then thats an option

 

Or you can use a software called speedfan to manuall set the fan speed - its kind of complicated

 

or you can by cheap (but effective) in-line resistors like this to lower the voltage going to the fan

There is usually a setting in your bios to control it. To get into bios when booting just continuously tap escape backspace or delete. It usually one of those.

What motherboard and fan are you using and which header is the fan being plugged into?

Are you using any other fans on the board? The manual states to either only use 3 or 4pin fans and not a combination of the two. It could be that it only has one setting for all headers to either be in pwm or dc mode, Alternatively, it could be that all the headers only support 4pin pwm control or full speed and you won't be able to control your led fan rpm from the motherboard.

What fan is that? Reading might be incorrect. Only indusctrial grade and <92mm fans even spin that fast.

2000rpm isn't too uncommon for cheaper value-oriented fans like Sickleflows or Cooler Master R4's. https://pcpartpicker.com/products/case-fan/#sort=-rpm&s=120

Are they all 3pin fans?

What other fans are you using? Which ones are running at 100%?

You'll probably need to use a resistor if you want to run the fan at a lower rpm or stick with 4pin fans if you want to control it.

What are the fan model names and their rated rpm?

led fan https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-SickleFlow-120-Radiators/dp/B0026ZPFCK/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1514216249&sr=1-4&keywords=pc+fans  

but i dont have the case link to right now 

Ahah! It was a Sickleflow. It's rated at 2000rpm so it seems that it's running at 100% rpm. If you're using the same header as you did for the other 3pin fans, I'm guessing that the previous fan was rated for a lower rpm. If you want to run the fan at a lower rpm off the motherboard, you'll need a resistor. Alternatively, you could flip pins on a molex fan adapter for a 5v signal or ~40% rpm. http://www.silentpcreview.com/article6-page1.html

Otherwise, you should just get a lower rpm fan or a 4pin fan.
