How do I increase PWM fans' speed depending on GPU Temps.

I've just modded my Kraken G10 to fit my reference 980 Ti and I'm using a H75 for cooling.

I've connected the two PWM radiator fans to 4 pin fan headers on the motherboard. I was wondering how I would automatically increase the RPM of the radiator fans depending on the temperature of the GPU.

Thanks in advance,

I don't think this will work in the configuration you described. You would need the fans connected to a fan controller with a temp sensor you stick into your GPU cooler somewhere. I could be wrong but never seen software read a gpu temp and pass that to the fans on the motherboard. If the case does not have enough airflow it will raise the temps inside and those fans will speed up...

Hmm, I think I saw something like that before. I have an idea of how I would do it using splitters and powered adapters, it's just I only took a small part off of the reference cooler so that I could put the cooler on so I didn't see the reference fan plug. Anyway, I suppose I'll do that then and in the mean time just have the fans at 100%.
