Need a Fan controller

Hello I am currently in the process of building a new computer but I'm stuck at the fans.

The case I am getting is the Corsair Obsidian 750D and I want to kit it out with Noctua fans, 5 NF-A14's, 2 NF-F12's and NH-D15 for the cpu cooler but with all these fans the ASRock 990FX Extreme9 cannot support all these fans so I thought the Grid + would work but before I buy anything I want to ask the LTT community first.

 

How can I have all the fans powered and able to be controlled?

 

Thanks hope this is enough information for you to help me.

Just buy Apple. They control their fans very very well.

But actually I've heard good things about the NZXT Sentry.

EDIT: maybe I should read the damn post first. Yes you will be able to do everything you asked AFAIK but Ive also heard that Grid isn't great.

EDIT #2: I think I'm illiterate know. Listen to everybody below me.

You can control the fan speeds using NZXT CAM. 

Also, I don't think NF-A12's exist..

I just looked at the Sentry 2 and I think I can do it by using 2 of the Motherboard headers and the controller.

 

EDIT: But the problem with that is the Sentry is 3 pin and all the fans are 4 pin

Yeah just noticed that typo I meant NF-F12, Not that good at proof reading.

I don't think there are any 3pin NF-F12's. 4pin connectors don't physically fit into the Grid+.
