Windows 10: Is it possible to remote control PC case fans connected to the mainboard?

And if so how? Because my case fan is rattling and I try to temporarily give more/less power so that it doesn't rattle anymore.

No need to setup a permanent remote connection for FB add-on's. I'd suggest Team Viewer. It's free and will allow you to access his pc safely and take control.

Connecting case fan controller to the MB melted a wire?

Hey. Yesterday I ordered three 12V Evolveo C1 rgb case fans and a controller. However, what I didn't notice is that the online store accidentaly sent me 5V fans (since the packing was exactly the same I simply didn't realize...).

I plugged the fans to the controller and the controller to the molex and the motherboard (MSI x370). Once I turned on my computer, I smelled something weird and realized that the wire to the MB is melted completely. I turned off the computer and PS, unplugged the wire to the MB and when I turned on the computer again with the melted wire removed everything worked fine - no visible damage, both fans and computer worked simply being connected to the controller through the molex. I guess this was caused by the fans being "only" 5V" while I needed 12V fans, right?

So, I'd like to ask - I still have the fans connected and they work fine. Is there anything that could happen or any risks? Or should I use my old fans instead? Since I'm not an expert, I don't want my PC to burn completely or anything.

Thanks in advance.

Veronika.
