Question How to Add Case Fan Control Sensors?

I record VO from my desktop, and I'm trying to create a quiet environment when doing so. I have tried both the SpeedFan and Fan Control apps, but they only seem to control the CPU. I assume this is because the other three generic case fans don't have any kind of sensor or ability to config them. One is connected directly to the motherboard, the other two are daisy chained together on one port via an adapter (due to space).

Can I add something to the three case fans that will also allow me to control the speed/noise while recording?

Thanks. So will that device allow me to also control them via the software? I see they have knobs, but I wouldn't be able to manually adjust those every time (based on where the tower is). So would need to control from the app.
That one is strictly manual, there are other that you can set temperatures at which to adjust speeds. Have you tried control SW that came from motherboard's manufacturer ? They usually work best. Lowering fan speeds too much while under load can be counterproductive and cause overheating and stuttering or even shutdown in most inopportune moments.
