I have a question about hooking up fans to a Asus x99 pro motherbroard.

 

My overall cooling strategy is:

 

an Enthoo Luxe case with a 200m fan in the front

a140m fan in the back.

In the top of the case for cpu cooling will be a Swiftech H220-X, it has qty 2-140m fans as you probably know...

 

These are the connections off the motherboard:

1 x CPU Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s) (1 x 4 -pin)
4 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (4 x 4 -pin)

 

A fan controller came with the Enthoo Luxe case as well that can support 6 fans. im not sure I need this but it came with the case

 
Other components...  (5820K cpu)(EVGA GTX 970 SC)(AX760)
 
THE QUESTION:   Im just not sure what makes the most sense in how to hook these fans up.  Is there one configuration that stands above the rest???  ...or not so much.
 
Thanks for your help
