Need help with fan setup.
I am doing push/pull with 4x 140mm fans in the front, paired with a 80mm fan-cooled hard drive box. The rear exhaust is a single 140mm and all fans are four pin PWM.
I am using the ASUS VII Hero if it helps.
Yeah, you have the best motherboard fan control in the industry. Commander mini would be a slight waste of money...
So you have 1 exhaust (3-pin), 4 radiator intake (4-pin), and a 80mm fan? If you're not plugging anything else in to your motherboard's fan headers, you can plug all 6 fans directly in to your motherboard. And if you need the CPU/CPU-OPT headers to control a pump/whatnot, Just buy a PWM splitters or 2, connect push-pull pairs of fans together, and still plug everything in to your motherboard.
I suggest against push/pull if you're using a <30mm radiator. The performance benefits are marginal if you have pressure optimized fans. Are you planning to take out the 5-bay cage while sliding the 3-bay cage closer to the PSU to fit the 280 rad in the front?
