Help finding perfect Asus Mainboard 1151

[maxvoelkl]

Hi Guy´s

Today i need you help to decide what Asus Mainboard i should buy.

 

first only Z170 chipset

 

so I need a Mainboard with minimum 7 x 4-pin fan header´s and a Board/Bios that allow me to switch between pwm and dc fan control mode so that i can configure a 0 rpm mode for my fan´s in Idle. (very imported)

2 x pcie x16 slot for 2 way SLI

 

My choice would be the Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark 1.

If you have a better Idear for me, please tell me.

 

Thx

 

Max

Why not check PC partpicker for all of the board?

 

Also you're not likely to find 7 headers on boards. Most I've seen is 6 and that was an Asus WS board.

the z170 sabertooth mark 1 has 6  case fan headers and 1 cpu header = 7 

 

I only want to know witch Mainboard from asus support a switch between Pwm and DC mode so that i can configure a 0 rpm mode for my fan´s in idle.

Sorry. The Asus ROG I used for someone had 7 and they were well place along the edges IIRC.

Quick question: why would you want to do? Just use some low RPM fans (#Corsair's new maglev thingies) and you won't hear them, while still providing some passive cooling.

witch Model do you have e.g Maximus, Ranger, Hero ? 

and can you switch in youre Bios between pwm/DC fan control mode ?

[ARikozuM]

Maximus VIII (8) I think. I don't know about the fan mode though since I make the fans spin silently even when under load to balance pressure.

You could do what I plan and get a fan splitter. Basically it runs multiple fans off one fan header and it does support pwm only it will come with one of the splitters 4-pin and the others will be 3-pin. From what I understand the other split 3-pins will copy the pwm configuration of the 4-pin.

 

What I Wang to do is connect all of my exhaust fans this way and then have my three intake fans on their separate pwm headers.
