Can I control my fans when I connect them to a fan hub, and then connect the fan hub to the mobo ??? Let's say I have some 3-pin fans connect to a fan hub and the fan hub (3-pin) connect to the mobo. Does it work the some way as connect a single fan to a fan header on the mobo???

If the entire fan hub is powered off the header, then yes it will be controlled the same way as a single fan. However if you're only running off the the header alone, it's not recommended to run too many fans as to risk burning out the header. The combined power draw for all fans connected to one header should add up to less then 1A.

 

So for two fans, maximum 12V @ 0.5A each

Three fans, maximum 12V @ 0.33A each

Four fans, maximum 12V @ 0.25A each

Five fans, maximum 12V @ 0.2A each

 

I would definitely not run more then 5 off one header, even if power draw doesn't exceed 1A.

Just get a NZXT Grid +. Individually control each fan and set them to ramp up according to CPU temp or GPU temp and the software literally has like zero bugs. AMAZING

But why use only Corsair? They don't make that good of fans.

There's not that many good LED fans, if for some reason you need LED then the Bitfenix Spectre (non-pro) are decent. That and the Corsair are about all you're going to get.

 

If you actually want good fans for the money, you're not going to get LEDs unfortunately.

well basically because my case is the 780T and I want the front fans to have led. If there's a way for me to put some led there that's going to look good then I would find some other brand with better fans. I need high static pressure and quite fans.
