Fan controllers + software?

Hi, i'm unsure if this should be in air/watercooling but since its related to fans i put it here.

 

 

I'm going to be doing a huge watercooling setup soon with 2 480mm rads and a 900D, and I was hoping people knew anything about fan controllers or fan software other than my motherboard that I can use, (i'd run out of headers, and the y-splitters would get very tedious) 

 

I know I can get fan controllers that have a switch/knob to change the fans, but I like the software aspect of it much more.

 

EX: custom curves are amazing

 

I was hoping there is something sorta like corsair link 2 I can use,  I think linus had something in his personal build like a temp monitor with some software?

 

Any help would be nice if you have links please provide!

I was going to post a thread, but since it's very related I'll just post here.

 

I'm looking for software to control my fans. My motherboard has 4-pin PWM headers that I've plugged in my Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans into. I've tried Speedfan, and it makes no sense as it doesn't dynamically adjust to temperatures. I want a graph that I can simply adjust like Fan Expert 2 (which is not available on this particular motherboard I'm using). Does anyone know of any software that allows you to do this simply, and on any motherboard?

or you could use swiftech pwm splitter that are a lot tidier than other splitters.

it s a 8 way splitter on a pcb that can be daisy chained.

i d use 1 per 480rad and another one for pumps and other fans, since it gets all power from molex you can t burn out anything...

btw the reason why speedfan could have not worked is that some mobo can only control the cpu fan hence why you couldn t control case fans.

Anything I write is just a comment, take is as such, there is no guarantees associated with anything I say.
