White Fans + Powering them.

[peps1]

Hey guys, starting my first water cooled build and was wondering if I could get a bit of help with some issues:

First: looking for All white 120mm SP fans, and know little about fans, was thinking of getting the EK-Vardar EVO 120ER White but needing 10 fans, £16 a pop soon adds up, anyone able to help with picking fans!

Second: Also wanted to check, I got the issue of powering fans right in my head:

If I have 2x 360mm radiators with 3 fans that draw 0.39Amps total (2.6W/12V=0.13Amp x3= 0.39Amp total draw)

And one 480mm with fans that draw 0.39Amps total (2.6W/12V=0.13Amp x3= 0.52Amp total draw)

I can just daisy chain each set of fans with a 1-to-4 PWM fan splitter and plug them into 3 of the 1A rated PWM fan headers on my mobo? (and then set up profiles for each in bios?)

Look at getting a Phanteks fan hub to split your fans. The Vardar are highly regarded on here as one of the best fans for radiators, once you've bought them providing none fail you can reuse them on numerous builds over the years.

Vardars are 4-pin PWM (?), while the Phanteks hub provides PWM-like signal to 3-pin fans. Would there be an issue controlling 4-pin PWM fans through the Phanteks hub?

If you wire the hub up correctly no, you'll have 1 fan plugged in with 4 pin and then the others run at whatever speed you set that to run atm, I currently run 9 fans off 1 with them all set @ 850rpm for my rads.
