hey guys,

im going to get a corsair 450D case to replace my CM storm trooper as its just to big for my needs.

i currently have 5 corsair fans in my rig that i will probably move to the 450D.
i have two SP120 quiet editions on full speed 24/7 in push/pull on my H80i
then two AF120 quiet editions as intake in the front
and a AF140 quiet edition as intake in the roof (helping the H80i with cool air)

now i still find my rig quiet loud, all the fans other than the SP's are connected to the troopers fan controller on the slowest setting, its ok like that but temps get abit hot when like this.

SO.. with the 450D, i would like to add two AF140 red LED fans as intake and another two in the roof, so i will keep the SP's on the H80i as normal and may add the two AF120's i currently have as intakes in the floor to aid the MSI R9 290 gaming card i have.

now i need a fan controller to keep all these case fans in check, what would you guys recommend?

any other advise here would be great, i may even change the H80i to a kraken X61 if it helps quieten the rig down

thanks :)
 
What motherboard do you have? If it's a "Gaming" motherboard then it should just about have 5 fan headers on the board.

Most boards have their own software to control fans (I.e. ASUS Fan Control), but I'm sure there's other programs that can control the rpm of the fans.
