Hi Everyone,

Components

I am currently building my first custom Water cooled PC. With all my research I am comfortable with the build/design and all parts should be here ready for that part this or next week.. However...

When it comes to fan management I really have no idea what I am doing or need to get for all the fans I will be running. So here is my setup:

1 Rad with 2 x Push and 2 x Pull Fans
1 Rad with 3 x Push Fans
1 x Case fan

If it makes a difference all Rad fans are Noiseblocker PK2's and unsure of what case fan I will run just yet but not too worried about this.

So I think that means I need to run 3 banks... So... That I think means a management system plus 1 x splitter for each bank? I have no idea despite my research what items I need to purchase and then how to manage them once I boot the PC.

I have already spent lots so don't mind making sure I do this part right, but I would prefer a simple, set and forget type option (although I will be OC'ing so obviously will need to make some adjustments).

My water loop at the moment will only have 1 D5 pump with only manual speed control. Will probably have to upgrade to a second pump and my research says manual speed control is all you need but if you disagree and think I should incorporate a management system with pump control, please let me know.

I would really appreciate specific items you think i will require if you have that time.

Thanking you in advance for your time.

Joel
