In short I placed an order for a motherboard without 4-pin PCIe slots and have already purchased some 4-pin fans. I’m unsure what to do next and wondering about my choices. I want to manage fan speeds but am fine with not being able to adjust them myself. Please note this is my first attempt at this setup and I apologize for any confusion or mistakes in my explanation. The motherboard I have is a Gigabyte B760 AORUS ELITE AX ATX LGA1700 with Noctua NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM fans, 4-pin, 1700 RPM.

I believe you were referring to a 4-pin PWM fan header.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. It sounds like you're referring to a motherboard and a PC parts guide, but the message is a bit unclear. Could you rephrase or provide more details?

Are you sure? You have five 4-pin connectors. If not enough, just use a very inexpensive splitter.

SYS_FAN1 is positioned beside the 4-pin and 8-pin EPS connectors for CPU power. A CPU_OPT header is located to the right of the CPU FAN header on page 4 in the manual. There are three fan headers available for PWM control at the bottom, located to the left of the front panel connector. Refer to SYS_FAN2, SYS_FAN3, SYS_FAN4_PUMP...

You don't necessarily need a fan controller to adjust fan speeds—it depends on your setup and what you're trying to achieve.

Configure the fan curve within the BIOS settings, eliminating the requirement for a separate fan controller.
