My motherboard isn't allowing me to control all of my fans.

I have an MSI Gaming 970 motherboard, with an FX-8350. (Old, I know)

I have the following fan setup:

2 X 120mm CPU cooler fans (Connected to the CPU fan header)
2 X 200mm Front case fans (Connected to the 3-pin sysfan header on the motherboard)
3 X 120mm cooler fans (Daisy-chained together) connected the 4-pin sysfan header
1 X 140mm case fan, as the outtake, connected to the 3-pin sysfan header.

The BIOS has a fan-control screen, which only picks up the CPU - and 2 other "system fans". It's suggested to use MSI Command center to control the others, but that only picks up the CPU and 1 other fan - which is at 0% and can't be moved (even though all the fans are spinning)

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on this. Also, I've tried using Speedfan, but it only picks up 3 fans, and isn't able to change their speed in any way.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions etc...

Might well be that this one isn't seen,maybe go into the bios,see if you can change the setting for it to DC or if already at that set it at PWM. See if that change helps.
