[jimhaumman]

Hi
I need advice how to connect all fans to my mobo asrock z77extreme4
my case is r3 with two fans(rear and front)120mm
i5 3570k,macho hr-02,ssd,one hard drive 1tb,gpu wil buy later
i ordered 4 Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro Fan PK2 Fans - 140mm [L-PK3R
How many splitters do i need to connect them all directlly to the mobo,i've red
that asrock mobo isn't good with controling speed of the fans or hasn't good option like that,no sure,did they update it ??
Shall I maybe buy fan controller,and connect it all o them to it??
It's my first build thanks for any suggestion.

I would get a fan controller, i have one and love it

just make sure that you get a flat / low profile one so that you can still close the door on ur case

Lamptron FC Touch Fan Controller - Black [LAMP-FC0092H],heard is really good one but a bit to expensive for me

what do you think about this ones??:
NZXT Sentry 2 LCD Touch Screen Fan Controller [SEN2-001]
Nesteq MaxZero Fan Controller [NFS-2208D ]

doesnt the r3 already come with a fan controller? you could use that to control 3 fans and plug the rest into the mobo socket

yeah it comes with fan controller.
would it work if I buy 3 cable splitters,and connect them in pairs?so i would control 2 fans(3x2=6)that many I want to use.???
