How are you powering the fans? Directly from the power supply with a molex plug?

3 pin fans you should use a fan controller or a 7v fan cable. 7v fan cable will spin the fans down to 1/2 speed.

You should be able to control the two connected to the motherboard. The one on the molex will be limited to a single speed. A multifan controller that fits into a disk drive bay is probably your best bet since you can then control 5 fans with most of them. You would then move the two connected to the motherboard to the new fan controller.

If you head over to the Akasa web page, you see this picture. The controller plugs into a molex connector and has long leads to plug the fans into.
