Help with system fan set up, 3/4 Pin dilemma

[Paul_5]

Currently having a brain fart regarding my fan set up.

My mobo is causing the dilemma.

mobo is a GA-78LMT-USB3 which unfortunately only has 1 4 pin system fan header.

I want to run 2 system fans, 1 Intake 1 exhaust. Unfortunately amongst my inventory I have 2 x 120 DC fans and 1 x pwn fan,

I tried running this splitter http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30cm-PWM-4-pin-Y-Splitter-Fan-Power-Cable-Black-Sleeved-BNIB-/191149512768?hash=item2c81661840 eith 1 x 4 pin and 1 3 pin, But the 3 pin fan just ran full speed. Is there anyway to get this to run or will i need to get a 2nd 4 pin fan.

So what is the best option for me to run 2 fans, I know I wont have individual control of each fan but cant put up with the noise of a 120mm running at full speed the whole time also dont have the room for a fan control so that option is out.

So rapping up.

Mobo has 1x 4 pin header, Looking to run 2 fans.

Use the two 3 pin fans and control their speed through the motherboard BIOS.

Can the GA-78LMT-USB3 run the fans as DC?

Doesn't sound as if it can, there doesn't seem to be any option in the online manual anyway, if you have the fans connected up, try disconnecting the PWM fan from the splitter, boot up and check the power management options in the BIOS, if there's nothing there to run a 3 pin fan you'll probably be better off grabbing something like a Fan Mate 2 to run them.
