I am adding a water cooling loop and not sure how to power and monitor all the fans etc.
my set up.
4 or 8 Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1450 RPM - 3 Pin will be on the rad and its out side my case
1 140 mm LED fan on the front of the case
1 140 mm fan on the top of the case
1 120 mm fan on the back of the case
BitFenix Recon Internet-Connected Fan Controller
Asus X79 Sabertooth Intel X79 motherboard
x2 GPUs in the water cooling loop
cpu will be in the loop
I have never added so many fans b4 and just not sure the best wat to power and monitor there speed.
 
The Recon should handle 3 or 4 GTs per channel as they have very low current draw, at least when in operation. You may need to sacrifice a little top end voltage on them and the transistor may get warm but it'll work and they'll all be working at the same speed.

As for the remainder you can then have one per channel.

Or you can have the GTs controlled by your motherboard by voltage if it's supported, or by PWM if you get a PWM to 3 pin converter.
