Help with Case/Cooling upgrade O11 Vision

shadecrawler · March 7

Hello,

I'd like to update my case and CPU Cooler. For the Case I'd go with Lian Li O11 Vision and the GA II as AIO for cooling. Watching different Videos I stumbled over some things I wouldn't have considered. So I thought I'd ask the hivemind before I miss something.

So far I'd buy the O11,Galahad II LCD, 3 120 reversed LCD Fans, 3 140 reversed infinity fans and 2 120 infitiy fans.

I'm planning on putting the AIOs fans "outside" the radiator und the reversed LCD "inside" so the Radiator gets cooled from outside air. Then 3 140 reversed fans on the bottom as intake and finally the two 120 fans in the back as exhaust.

If I understand correctly I should have a controller from the 3 pack LCD fans. That should be enough for the AIOs 6 fans on one channel and the bottom and back fans on another channel respectively. The Aio gets connected over USBC directly onto a internal Motherboard port(?).

What I didn't find (or understood) how does the controller get connected. I'd guess it gets power from SATA. But for the software to work there should be another connection? I guess also USB? So I'd need at least 2 internat USB connectors. Also to use the front connectors I'd need a third, ideally USB 3 connector?

So the questions are, how many USB Connectors does my board need and of what quality? Is one USB 3 enough or do I need 3 connectors? And is there anything I might've not considered?
