An update on this.
I have now done away with the splitter cable and have all 4 fans connected to the fan headers.
The fans are Corsair HD120 RGB and all have 4 pin connectors.
Using System Information Viewer I can now change the speed of all the fans and have setup a custom curve to suit. BUT, when the system restarts it doesn't load this config, even though the SIV is running I have to manually tweak the curves then click apply to engage the setting.
Also, none of the fans show up as PWM in HWMonitor and none appear at all in Speedfan.
Is there a BIOS setting I need to alter so PWM will work?
Thanks
