Question Can I connect to the MB?

[joaomendes04]

Hi guys. So I bought a new gaming pc. The external case has 4 chassis fans. 3 taking air in, 1 out. I already bought another fan to make 3 in, 2 out cause in summer my bedroom gets a little hot. But I have a question: the pc case has an RGB fan system (quite like this):

As you can see, the fans are powered by a cable from PSU to the little box. The question is: can I connect this box to the ASUS Prime A320 M-K motherboard directly? Cause fans are always at full speed making the PC a little noisy and when I’m not playing it’s not necessary that the funs are at full speed.

Thank's a lot.

Hi, Can't you adjust the speed from the remote? As I can see, the one in the link has no option to adjust the speed via fan header on board.

No. The speed button on the remote is to control how fast lights changes in automode. I unfortunately, it doesn't control the speed of the fans.

Can you connect the fans to the motherboard?

Can you connect the fans to the motherboard?

I'm not sure. Cause MB as only one connector to the chassis fan. At least thats what I understand from the manual:
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/...67.1798301847.1551615674-420149260.1550066908

So I'm not interested in connecting only one fan. Also I don't care much about the lights of the fans. The thing I really want is to make PC quieter when I'm watching a movie or something like that.

Is there anyway to connect the 4 fans to the MB? Maybe another kit or something?

A pwm fan hub. Something like https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-System-Cables-Black-CPF04/dp/B00VNW556I
Are case fans 3, or 4 pin? If 4-pin, then a hub like the one above should work.

I'm pretty sure fans are 3 pin. Later I'll open to see. In that case there's nothing to control the speed. right?

They have 6 pin. I guess 2 for led 4 to the fan?

Can you post a picture of the fan connector, so that pins and shape can be seen?

Yes, of course.
I took a little more to the central unit as well.

I'd say that it's rather 2 pin for fans and 4 pin for LEDs.
Here's an option: https://www.amazon.co.uk/JUSTOP-Cooling-Controller-Control-Controls/dp/B07HRQHH6Q
