only the small fan will work on the fan controller as its 3 pin
 
ok so ive popped offline to clean all my fans and heatsinks out and now my temps have shot up :s im really confused here any idea why?
 
usually any front fans will be intakes, ie. suck air into the case.
then rear fans will be exhausts, ie. blow air out of the back of the case.
the idea is to get air moving through the case

ok...so ive got the big one on back for exhaust....if thats right but i have no fans for intake one front ...i do have 2 spaces on front for 5-6cm fans i think.

which one should i use the fan controller on ? q fan or the ones im going to find out for intake as cant use them on exhaust fan or cpu fan as there 4 pin
 
back again and now have new case sumvision atx midi model: arena 600
come with one fan on front at bottom
1 fan at back at the top , i still have my 120mm fan and a small fan not sure if i should use them or not. any suggestions
 
set your fan configuration to something like this:
case_airflow-450x450.jpg


front intake
bottom intake

back exhaust
top exhaust

dont use side panel fans if you have more than 3 fans already
 
at the moment i have 2 intakes at the front and one exhaust at the top.

my case is slighty different to that on as my power supply is at bottom
