Currently have a Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming G1 wifi Black edition
It's a custom water-cooled rig, so logically I will need fan splitters in order to connect all 12 fans to the headers, however I can't seem to get the fans to desired speeds, basically they run 24/7 on full speed, BIOS fan control doesn't affect them at all. Yes I am using a splitter, this one specifically (I made sure it had all PWM female and male connectors ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4DN1P81202&cm_re=fan_splitter-_-9SIA4DN1P81202-_-Product ) 3 of those to be exact, first set of 5 fans are connected to the main CPU_Fan header where everything is working perfectly, how ever once I plug in the other 5 into the CPU_opt header I get full speeds, no control at all. Now what made me suspect if the problem was the form the mother board is from the following troubleshoot: I plugged in the pump into the main CPU-fan header, got full control , moved it to another header (which is also PWM) no control at all. Note that the pump also has a molex connector which is plugged in. What could the problem possibly be?
