about to wire up my case fans (not cpu fans) on my new build and had a question about the fans. weather to go strait to the psu or use the Chassis fan connectors on the mobo.

what is the advantage if any to go to the mobo connectors? does it control the fan speeds some how? if so what temps are being looked at just general board temp or does it depent on where there pluged in or what?

and is it worth it to have an ugly wire coming out from the side to the board and just being there in plain sight instead of hidden in the back being hooked to the psu.
