Should I or shouldn't I?

Do I really need a fan controller? I have a 2500k at 4.6ghz and 2x480 sli in an antec 1200. I put new sharkoon 120mm fans in the front and the CPU is water cooled. Would the fan control be an advantage or am I wasting money?

Waste of money for just 2 case fans.

Ok thanks. Well what other upgrade can I do? Full spec is Asus P8P67 pro with 2500k @ 4.6ghz water cooled with H50 corsair 1600ram 2x480 gtx sli 950w corsair psu sharkoon 120mm fans all round in a antec1200 case! Any thoughts?

The bios can probably clock down the voltage to chassis 1 & 2 fans they don't have to be PWM fans see if there's a fan control in hardware monitor in the bios.As you'll probably find you wont gain any temp setting the 2 fans to 7 volts.

Watercool your GPUs.

or.. save your money. Why do you feel the need to spend more money on your computer in the first place?

Invest in in the NYSE or something

Two case fans? There are five moving air around in my case and one on the H50 water-cooling rad.
