Speed Fan manages just two fans.

I’m happy with two fans right now. Do you happen to know how to lower the stock intel cooler’s speed below 1000rpm? My Bequiet cooler isn’t arriving until next Monday, so I’m working on ways to reduce its noise while waiting.

You could try, though it would need a minor modification.

We're considering tweaks to the wire, the fan, or something similar.

You need to detach the +12V wire from the connector by pushing a pin into the top hole. This will push the retaining clip inside, allowing you to remove it. Then, insert the wire into a 5V connector like the red one on a Molex plug. The fan will run much slower, so you may need to increase its speed in the BIOS. For connecting fans at a fixed speed using a paperclip method, I can walk you through that too.

In reality, at its slowest it may not rotate at all until the CPU heats up and the motherboard signals the fan to increase speed.

Which one is simpler?

The paperclip technique maintains a steady speed, whereas the 4-pin rewiring method offers speed adjustment but only lowers the minimum and maximum limits. The paperclip approach doesn't require changing connectors.

Sure, I can walk you through the paperclip method step by step.

trim the paperclip sections to a suitable length so they don’t slip easily. For connecting several fans, adjust the clip to be long enough to reach from one fan’s plug to another. the other two wires are not considered here.
