Question Fans going full speed, need hub recommendation

Hello everyone,

I got Gigabyte B450M-H motherboard.
Case - GEMBIRD midi-tower computer case Fornax K700 ATX black (It comes with 3 fans, each got 4 pins; and 1 fan with 3 pin ARGB).
The problem is that my motherboard is old and it doesn't have ARGB connection. Only CPU and SYS_FAN.
I have connected all my fans on SATA cable to the PSU (they work full speed, playing inside gets hot and loud).

Today I bought "Magnetic PWM & ARGB Fan Hub Controller (+5V 3Pin) 9 port SATA powered" - that was my mistake, because as I understood that this fan hub needs both connections PWM and ARGB to function.

I don't really care about RGB, I can live without it. But I would seek some recommendations what to do.
"Deepcool FH-04 fan hub" would let me connect 3 fans, but 3pin ARGB fan would work as single fan?
Or I should upgrade the motherboard to the newer one?

Hopefully someone understood me,

Thanks!

You might want to take off the front panel of the case and see if the temps drops. FYI, that case is a horrible choice for a build.

Looking at the manual for the case;

the fans are all molex driven, you don't need a PWM hub, you're going to need PWM fans.

Thanks for the answer. I get it now.
I need some adapters then or new fans yeah.
