So I recently installed my hyper 212 evo on my ryzen 5 1600 machine. But I wanted to go with led fans. So I went ahead and purchased the sickle flow 120mm red LED fans from coolermaster. Well I somehow looked over the fact that these are 3 pin fans.

Anyway my current set up has 2 of the sickleflow 120s set up in push pull, connected through a fan splitter to the CPU fan header. These fans are currently just spinning at 2000 RPM and are pretty loud.

I am looking for recommendations on fans that would work with the cooler, preferably ones that are 4 pin pwm fans so they don't just run at full speed all day long. I have been looking at these fans https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MpBrxr/corsair-co-9050042-ww-750-cfm-120mm-fan-co-9050042-ww but with them not having a standard square design I didn't know if they would mount to the hyper 212.

Any recommendations will help, Thanks!!

wow the worst Asus motherboard manual I ever read for that board...

only thing I can suggest : move the fans to a non CPU fan header and manage it with a software
or
change the fans for 4 pin cpu fans

With the 2 case fan headers on my MOBO that is in fact an option and has worked wonderful. But for the CPU fan it does not give the option to swap it from PWM to DC. I am running an ASUS prime b350-plus if it helps at all.
