So I've already received all my components to the new gaming pc that I'm about to build over the weekend. As I looked on the web, I saw a lot of debate about 3pin v 4 pin connecting fans. I have 3 pin ones. So my questions are:

1. Will the three pin case fans I've purchased be able to be controlled through my Gigabyte z370-d3 motherboard?(Idk what fan stop is, states the motherboard has it)

2. I purchased a fan splitter cable so if my motherboard could control fan speed, will I also be able to control the splitter fan as well?

Any type of help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
Solution
1. Yes 3pin fans can be connected to 4pin headers but you might have to set in BIOS to control by Voltage not PWM.
2. Yes you can control fans connected by Y splitter but not individually. MB will see them as one fan.
