Hello,
I bought my pc recently. I chose this case because of 4 included fans (What a mistake). First of them has sata power and is connected to psu directly. The other three are connected to the first with 4 pin.
I really wanted to control their speed because of full speed noise. Tried to connect one fan to mobo and didn't work. I'm a bit confused right now. Last solution is to replace all of them, but there are any other solution?

Thanks

You should have a fan controller in the case.
One wire/connector from the controller connects to sata for power.
Then another wire with a 4pin fan connector connects to a motherboard header.
Then you should have a 4 space 3 connector 5v ARGB cable from the fan hub to the motherboard.
Once to have all of these connected you can connect up to 6 fans to the controllerand control their ARGB and speed.
