I'm thinking of a different means to control my fans. The 2 controlers i have tried do not work with the 8 Yates. So though about thermal control. Sticking a thermostat switch that works at 40c on the rad fins. When the system hits 40c it spins the fans, when it drops to 32c fans power off.
 
think the highest my rads have hit was around 36-38. Sensors placed behind mobo around the board have been between 30-48 though, depending on placement.

These temps are the highest I have seen though, on a hot day in a room with poor ventilation while gaming. Normally none of the sensors on my rads or aroudn my pc that werent on components would go above 36.

that is with yateloons ds12 on my rads, at full speed though, so I imagine it will hit higher with them off.
 
I would have thought the you'd still be better off trying to control the fans by the cpu temperature rather than the water temp. Is that not possible on that mobo?
 
The fans draw a lot of power so trying to use mobo to control not at option. The less running off the mobo which in my case is nothing the better, more stable i find.

The idea is fan off system heats up, rad hits 40c fans kick in then once back to cool temp fans off again. Like on your car
