Hi all, my new build will have an ASUS Sabertooth Z87 and a Corsair H100i in a Coolermaster Centurion 6 case. My intended fan config will be 4 with the H100i(push-pull) plus 6 other case fans.
My questions are: a) Is there a way to use this many fans with the Sabertooth Z87? (only has 4 case-fan connectors), and b) is it possible to have them all controlled by Corsair Link?
Thanks in advance!!

Honestly, I would connect them all to the motherboard.
The built-in fan controller is just awesome imo.

Yep, Corsair Link Commander can handle 8 fans from it's 3.5inch control box.


I would get that if I could, but where I live it's not available. I meant a way of using the corsair link software to control/monitor them.

So that would be 8 fans for 4 connectors. Should I just get a fan-hub then?

Hm...why 8 fans? I thought you said 6?

Anyway, I wouldn´t bother with hubs or something. Just get y-cables.
Two fans on one fan connector should work just fine.
BUT make sure you onle connect 2 of the same kind to one connector.

It's a total of 10 fans-2 of which are part of the H100i and controlled by it, + 2 on top of the H100i for a push/pull config. + 6 other stand alone case fans, so 8.
