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=Specifications

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.

 
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.

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?
