No no just standard 3 pins... So If I get this Lian-Li will it do the job ??

 

It should be, but make sure you can still return it if it doesn't work out. I have zero experience with Corsairs' 3 pin fans so I'm not sure how they mesh with a fan controller. I've only used their 4 pin fans.

 

As for that fan controller, that's a really basic one for 19.99. If it matches your case very well, then awesome. Check out brands like Akasa, Scythe, BitFenix and NZXT. I've had a lot of luck with NZXT and have heard wonderful things about Akasa, Scythe and BitFenix. All the fans are basically going to do the same thing, some might just have a few more features, so pick one based on looks and, of course, reviews. That's what I would recommend though.

Hi all,

 

I have a Corsair 350D with 4 Corsair AF140 fans inside that are REALLY loud. I need to pick out a fan controller that will quieten my system down. Any recommendations ?? I wanted to get an NZXT fan controller but heard there are some problems with component noise...

 

Thnx !

I've read that some fan controllers don't work well with Corsair fans.. Precisely NZXT fan controllers. Any recommendations ??

 

Any fan controller as long as it matches the pins to your fans. Are your Corsair fans 3 pin or 4 pin? If they're 3 pin, it shouldn't matter which fan controller you get. If it's 4 pin, you need to get a PWM fan controller. Corsair PWM fans, in my experience, always make these scratchy, rubbing noises when not connected to a PWM fan controller.
