Well, back from the store...

They didn't have more input than you guys, so the order plan it is. I want to be disappointed, but somehow I expected it.

 

It did however make me realize I would start being short on fan headers on the motherboard.

As such, I'm considering grabbing either a pair of 3-to-1 splitters, or a hub (both options are roughly the same price).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all fans connected to a hub will be treated as a single fan by FanControl, and as such, I wouldn't be able to manage different speeds for intake and exhaust, right?

Yes, thats correct i believe

Small necro/update.


I ended up not having an opportunity to buy the fans yet due to other commitments (or rather, not have enough time to do comparisons while staying in an Amazon return window).

 

Schedule has cleared up, so I went back at it... And it seems the black version of the P12Max now comes with FDB.

Also the white version has now doubled in price.

... Guess I'll be waiting a bit more for the black FDB to trickle down on Amazon.
