Cooling Question (fan control)

[conuk]

Hi all.

after finally moving to a bigger case and some water cooling what would be best way to indepentanly control case fans?

I see a number of fan hubs and controllers in varying prices - but they all see to control the fans all at once (one ramps up they all do?)

My case
Lian Li Air Midi (2 stock exhaust fans in top)
CPU 5900x - cooled by Silent Wings SILENT LOOP 2 - 360mm radiator with 3 fans - vertically in the side of case

Currently 1 Noctua fan (from previous build) beneath GPU (plan on replacing this with 3 of the same)

Motherboard : X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI (rev. 1.0)
Has 3 fan headers but one is for cooling the PCH and M.2 drive

so leaves 2 more headers (CPU and Chasis)


So this will have
3 fans for CPU
1 header for pump

3 fans to cool GPU (upwards)
2 / 3 fans exhaust in top of case

currently using 1 to 3 fan splitter cables for now.

Thanks those lamptrons look cool - but no drive bays in the case for something like that.
Yes manual to twiddle would have been decent.

I guess I'm thinking.
The silent wings should just ramp up via CPU temp (PWS)

and the exhaust / intake (3 each) I should just set manually via software?

I have an Aquaero 5 and 6 and they can definitely control fans independently of each other. A bit pricey but they do everything apart from make the tea or coffee.

price of those

(and thanks for the suggestion)
