I recently bought the Fractal Design Define R4 case (w/ window) and the Asrock z77 Extreme 4 mobo.
I'm also looking to get 2 extra fans: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835553001&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL120513&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL120513-_-EMC-120513-Index-_-CaseFans-_-35553001-L010A
I'm looking to put these two Cougars in the front (intake), shifting the front fan that comes with the case to the top front intake (there's two slots top) for a "dedicated CPU cooler case fan". I'd keep the back as exhaust the same. Is this a good fan setup?
Also, I'm looking for a fan controller. I understand the Fractal comes with a 3 fan controller, but since I'll have four fans total, I'd like a good/cheap fan controller that can support up to 6 (since there's a total of six slots in case I fill them up in the future). I know I can tweak fan speeds using the BIOS and plugging them into the mobo, but since this is my first build, I'd like to stay away from messing around with the BIOS in case I screw something up.
