Bitfenix Prodigy Fan Compatibility?

[ezcrev]

I have the Bitfenix Prodigy case, and currently am using the stock fans that it comes with. My specs on the computer aren't super amazing (but can run most new games on high), but I want to install a couple fans to add a cool color, and help it stay cool as I upgrade it. I want to use a:

 

230mm green spectre pro in the front,

 

two 120mm red spectre pros on the top,

 

one 140mm green spectre pro on the back.

 

I know that is an overkill haha, but I don't mind noise and it will look really cool  

 

 

 

1st question) What kind of adapters will I need to run all of the fans? I already have one molex adapter for the stock fan in the front, but for four fans?

 

2nd question) Would installing this many fans hurt my PC in any way? Or how long will the fans last?

 

 

 

Thanks so much for answering!!

Do you have a ASUS Motherboard if so what model?

Asus motherboards have the best fan software for motherboards

Yes, I have an Asus motherboard. The model is: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Intel-H77-mini-Motherboard/dp/B007RIFLVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382908343&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+mini+itx+motherboard

Looks like it only has fan expert 1, have you ever thought about using a fan controller?

You can either use a fan contoller, multiple molex controllers, or a 3/4 pin fan splitter.

 

If you can fit it, a fan controller will be your best option, since you will only use one molex to power 5 or so fans. This will allow you to control the speed of each fan without having them in the MOBO. 

 

I had to take my 5.25" bay out of my Prodigy to fit my graphics card, but if you didn't have to, a fan controller would be perfect.

Instead of going overkill on the fans, I advise flipping the motherboard around. This way you get much better temps, and you can still mount everything
