Hello everyone.
So as explained in the title, i just bought today 2 x Coolermaster Sicleflow 120mm case fans. My motherboard only has 4-pin slots. So i plugged them in the PSU with the cables provided and they run 100% all the time. The problem is that they are too loud and after 2 hours of working, the headache is certain. I want my pc to run quietly when i do light work but when i'm gaming and i want good airflow, i don't really mind for the noise as i wear my headset.
So my questions are:
1) Can i plug the 3-pin fans in the 4-pin slots in the mobo and control them manually? How can i do that? I tried the "SpeedFan" program but it's too confusing for me as i'm new to pc's.
2) I brought the cables outside from the case to plug the fans in when i'm gaming and plug them out when i'm not. I don't know if this is a good thing to do when the pc is still running.
Pls help!!
The sound is too loud for me and my budget is little bit low to buy new fans 
Pls tell me what to do Thank you!
