Can't control my fan speed

[Jeremy Dijkstra]

So i just bought the tripple pack Corsair HD120 rgb fans. All of the three fans have a 4 pin connector. But on my motherboard i only have 2x4 pin connectors (one in use for my cpu cooler). Is there a way i can connect all of my three fans so i can control them through software?

you should have to buy a fan controller or a fan hub if your motherboard. does not have enough fan connectors. you could also plug them into the 3 pin fan connectors on your mobo and see if you can controll them.

Get 4-pin y splitters. Lets you attach 2 fans to one fan header. They come in 2,3 and 4-way. Just make sure the combined amperage if the fans doesnt go over the rated amperage of the fan header, Which is usually 1A iirc

The best solution would be to purchase a Corsair Commander Pro.  This will give you both fan control (speed) and lighting control for the LED's through iCUE that you are looking for.  The Commander comes with a cable that attaches it to the 6port LED hub that came with the HD120 fans, and replaces the 3 button controller.  You'll have more lighting effect options through the software.

I've been using these for ever and have never had an issue https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Splitter-Duplicator-Converter-Adapter/dp/B01N0XQ7XC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1527704135&sr=8-3&keywords=fan+splitter

 

You can get different colors as well if you need to match your set up ;-)

There also came a commander (which can support up to 6 fans) with my TriplePack. Can i use that to power my fans or do i have to buy the Corsair Commander pro? (open image to see the commander)

You'll need the 6port hub in the first picture, and a Commander Pro.  The LED Hub will be your connection to power the LED's on the fans.  The Commander Pro will connect to the LED hub to the port on the right side of the picture you linked.  You'll connect your the second fan connector to the Commander Pro to control the fan speeds.

 

If you're still running into issues, you can also contact our Technical Support staff, and they can walk you through the steps over the phone.  1-888-222-4346 and is also toll free over Skype.
