Need some guidance on this issue if some of you guys can help me. I can see this cooling system and motherboard are compatible on partpicker, but i just want to know is it fully compatible. (It is my first build but i am just picking the parts - someone else will be building/installing everything)

The ASROCK board connectors - 2 x CPU Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 3 x Chassis Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 2 x 3-pin)
specs link: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/990FX%20Extreme9/?cat=Spec...

I cant seem to find any of the connector specs on the h105 from Corsair but i have read the rad comes with a y splitter 4 pin to 2x4 pin, a 4pin fan cable and a 3 pin waterbock cable, is this right?
If so is it fully compatible with my board and will i be able to use the full features?
~ can I use the PWM control (4pin) or would I have to use the speed/voltage control (3 pin) in the BIOS (if my motherboard supports it, which i think it does?)

If anybody could shed some light on this I thank you, all of this is new to me.

Thanks for your help. Do you know about the PWM and voltage control and is it compatible with my motherboard?

PWM and voltage control are two ways of controlling fan speed. All CPU coolers now use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) - more power efficient. Case fans still mostly use voltage control.

PWM have 4 pins on their connectors. 3 pins for voltage control. The connectors are interchangeable. So any should fit your motherboard. See your mobo manual.

Nice choice on the board , it's one of the top 3 for 990FX , I own it , an overclocking Beast , the h110 should allow you to get some great overclocks with that setup.

Thanks! :D  nice one, would you suggest I go for the 110 over the 105? The 105 seems to rate up pretty well against it some reviews and benchmarks I have seen... Do you use the 110?
