I want to control the fan speeds of my two 3pin case fans which is why I'm opting to connect it to the mobo's syst_fan port which is 4pin.

My motherboard is GA-B150M-DS3H, not to be confused with the ddr3 version which will come up first in google searches.

Advice on how to allow for the two case fans to be controlled via the motherboard would be greatly appreciated, if a wire is suggested, a wire of 30-43cm would be highly suggested due to the two fans in the case being opposite sides of the system.

My case fans are that of the Deepcool TESSERACT SW ATX Mid Tower Case (included).

Thanks to anyone who took the time to overlook this thread.
 


right just to be sure I understand completely, I get the 3 pin cables from the case fans and plug each one of them in a 4 pin syst_fan port? (syst_fan 1 and 2 port for example).
and then I go and download the gigabyte utility for fan control speed so I can change speeds from being things which aren't 100% yes?

If this is correct, I may be capable of buying my parts now as this is the only thing which is in my way atm.

no external devices necessary like that phoneix thingy right? just the fan cables
