I wanted some new fans for the setup and like an idiot bought DC (3 pin) fans instead of PWM (4). I don't feel like returning them cause i bought them off Amazon so i was reading up if there was a way to control them. The PC is now quite loud and since it's desk mounted...well, it doesn't make for a good night.
I found this https://www.amazon.ca/Phanteks-PWM-Fan-Controller-PH-PWHUB_01/dp/B00M0R05WE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520565546&sr=8-1&keywords=phanteks+pwm+fan+hub
My understanding is that it takes the DC fans into the hub, and the motherboard recognizes them as PWM fans, thus allowing me to make them go slower. Is this correct?
Is it worth buying that device or should I just cut my losses, get rid of all my DC fans and spend the extra money of PWM (I've got like 5 DC fans, 4 of which I want to make quieter *facepalm*)
Thanks!
