        @Drak If they're always on, why not just connect them to the power supply?

            You could probably buy a complete Y-cable (for fans) on eBay/Amazon relatively inexpensively.

            Beyond that I'd put M106 in both config.g and daemon.g if you have to use the other fan outputs

              just get a very simple pc fan controller like

              https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Lamptron-CP120-Aperture-Control-Silver/dp/B07Q84W27Y/

              connect the 12v directly to it and you can have 5 fans with speed control.

                You can connect several fans in parallel to each always-on fan output.
