Hello,
I have been putting together my build today. I started with installing the additional fans I want, these are some fairly basic RGB fans from Thermalight (no link provided as Overlcokers do not sell them or the controller). 3 at the top and 3 reverse at the bottom. I intend to use the case in built fan controller for lighting. The speed I will adjust via the PWM headers on the motherboard. I would like every RGB fan in the case to be synced to the in built case controller. So to confirm that would be the 3 RGB fans that come with the case, my CPU cooler fans, the 3 fans at the top and the 3 fans at the bottom to all change colour when I toggle the switch on the front I/O of the case. So looking at the manual for the case (link provided below), on page 4 there is some info about how to wire up the fans etc and I am struggling to make sense of it.
Here is what I currently think I need to do:
Sorry I know there a lot of info here but if anyone can give me a few pointers it would really me out tomorrow.

Here is what I currently think I need to do:
- The front 3 fans included with the case need a connection to a PWM header and SATA power supply to power the controller
- The rear exhaust fan can be connected to a PWM fan header directly as its not RGB.
- The top and bottom fans need a separate PWM connection each. To connect the RGB side I will use a Thermalight controller I bought. I can then connect the Tremalight controller to one the 3 additional RGB connections from the case controller (see page 4 of the manual). The Tremalight controller will need its own SATA power connection also.
- The CPU cooler gets connected to the CPU PWM header and its RGB can either be taken from the Thermalight controller or one of the 3 RGB connection that comes with the case (shown on page 4).
