I've got the Rosewill R5 case. I'm trying to decide how I should set my 6 fans up.

The case has a fan controller, with 3 connections (Can I split off of these?), the motherboard has a spot for 2 case fans.

This set up allows for 5 fans, controlled by me, or the mobo. I'm trying to figure out which fan to use as a PSU fan (would prefer to split).

Below is a diagram of my current intended set up.

So, does this set up seem good? Does anyone have suggestions to improve my fan connections?

I would have one of the exhaust fans hooked up to the PSU. But, I have all my fans running at 100% no matter what, so it doesn't matter to me.

Had considered some other options, but, with this, the 3 support fans (top, side, bottom) are on the controller, the front fans are controlled by mobo, and the rear fan would be hooked up to PSU, and always at max.

Seems like the best solution, but, was considering doing bottom fan to PSU, Rear, and bottom front fan to mobo. The others would be hooked to controller. My only reason for this 2nd set up, would be less noise, I'd think.

=/ I'd of preferred to have both front intake, and rear exhaust hooked to mobo, rest off of controller. Sadly, only 2 case fan connections on mobo.

But, yea, I agree, exhaust is the best option for a direct to PSU fan. Still, will suck when idle and rear running max.

I'll most likely pick up a aftermarket fan controller, if the noise from the rear gets to me.
