I'm going for a silent/dust free (positive pressure) build as my current temps are well controlled only running two intakes and one exhaust fan. (Idle 34C, Max load 49C). Thanks Hyper 212 !!

I'll have two 120mm SilenX EFX-12-15 on the front and one one the rear and a Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 at the top,

My motherboard only has two sysfan spots. Do i get a splitter and run the two front fans together along with the 200mm off the board via speedfan (and just leave the exhaust on 100% via molex) or do I buy a fan controller and control each fan individually?

Also, I've never used speedfan, so any tutorial sites/videos would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Yeah, I was debating between the Sentry 2 and the ZALMAN MFC1 Plus-B. Was reading that the Sentry jumps from 0% to 40%, so you can't control them at low RPMs. I'm sure either one would be fine. Thanks.

It'd be hard to justify spending $20-40 bucks on a fan controller for "just" three fans. I kind of opt for the Speedfan route.

I have five extra fans, that I use with my NZXT Sentry Mix 2, and I like it. The only problem I have discovered is that, with no rhyme to reason, fans can make a buzzing sound when hooked up to it. *shrugs*

Yeah the 40% jump isn't my favorite, but most decent fans run pretty quiet at 40%, so it's not so bad.
