Hey everyone! I'm having some trouble with my PC setup. I built it using an MSI A520M A Pro motherboard and I've got liquid cooling in place. The issue is that I seem to only have fan control for the CPU fan and the cooling unit, leaving the three additional case fans running at full speed without any way to manage them. I've checked the motherboard specs, and it looks like there are only those two fan connections available. Is this typical for this kind of build? Thanks for any insights!

Sounds like your case fans might be connected directly to the PSU instead of through the motherboard, which is pretty common if you're using a fan hub or if the case is super budget-friendly. Unfortunately, that motherboard only has two fan connectors because it's a lower-end model. If you're looking for better fan control, you might want to consider upgrading your motherboard instead of sticking with the liquid cooler you have.
The case is a CIT Vento, but I guess you're right about the motherboard being low quality. I’ll definitely rethink my options! Thanks for the quick tip.
