Hi.

Can someone please tell me how to connect my fans to the motherboard and making it possible to adjust the speed? I got 960GM-GS3 FX from ASRock, one ARCTIC F PWM and two Scythe Glide Stream 120 (3 pin). Any solution whick makes them work as I want and use atleast two of them is great.

I used two of them (both Scythe fans connected to an Y-cable) in my old motherboard but I don't know how to connect them in this motherboard. This motherboard got three FAN connectors: CPU (4 pin), Chassis (3), Power Fan (4).

I use the fans on my watercooler. The watercooler is connected to the PSU.

Here is the manual for the PWM fan. I don't understand it. Maybe someone does?

I have already tried the Scythe fans at every connector but it doesn't work. I also tried to change the speed in BIOS, ASRock OC Tuner and SpeedFan.

In the link of the manual that you provided, bottom left page it says "If connecting more than one fan".
Looks like they want you to connect all fans (CPU, RAM and your Arctic fans) on the connector of the CPU fan by splitting with cables.
No idea how much Watts that can handle. I'd still go for a simple fan controller.

Lets say I connect the Arctic (PWM) first. Which connections can I do to connect the Scythe fan to it?

I have already spent to much money on this. But most important of all is that I want to fix the noise now and not buy a fan controller and wait some days until I get it.
