Posted January 13, 2014 i am going to water cool a 900d and load it full with rads and such. i have planned just about everything, but i cant seem to find an acceptable way to control all of the fans. so that i can edit the fan curves and simmilar. I have been looking at corsair link, but the fans there is supposed to run at 100% while booting. The mcubed t balancer is another option, but i dont think i can controll enough fans with it + the software is supposed to be garbage(anyone have any experience with this?) Fans is just about the only thing i don't want to play around with every second day or so. so i want the fan solution to be "set and forget". What would you guys reccomend? BTW. i will be using either corsair sp12's or noctua nf-f12's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 13, 2014 Plug all 12 fans in at max power. Sure, you won't be able to control them at ALL... but it'll work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 13, 2014 You can always use fan splitters and control them from the motherboard headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 13, 2014 I ended up getting an aquaero 5 (6 is much better for lots of fans but wasn't out at the time) It allows you to control all your fans through software on the PC (temp curves and everything like that) from different headers.

Posted January 13, 2014 Get all pwm ones and a few powered splitter s and control them all with your motherboard. You could also get like a nzxt sentry mix and a couple of splitter as it could likely handle 12 fans. UPDATED An enthusiasts guide to video feat.

Posted January 13, 2014 Author ah, forgot to mention. i do not want to use the 5,25 inch bay, as it will ruin the aesthetics of the 900d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Motherboard to control the fans and yes all of them will be controlled properly if their PWM. Youll have the best luck plugging all the same fans into one though. I dont eve know what a Tbalancer is or what it does besides the fact its a fan controller. UPDATED An enthusiasts guide to video feat.
