I heard that with the Z97 sabertooth, it was possible to have the motherboard automatically adjust fan speeds to maintain a certain temperature. I heard that by extension that it would be possible to use a water temp sensor to maintain a set water temp.

I will be building a new PC with an Asus X99 Deluxe and 13 Noiseblocker NB-B12-PS fans. Is it possible to set up something like the above? and other than a motherboard, what components would I need to get so that I can have 13 fans all have their speed controlled by the motherboard?

Frozen CPU has a good 8 fan splitter with 4 pin connectors that are powered off of a SATA power connector. You could easily change that to a 4 pin if you wanted. Just pick up two of those splitters and attach it to a CPU or CHA fan control port, whichever one you want to control which fans.

Here's the manual for the x99:

It comes with a lot of onboard fan connectors built in. Mine also came with the fan expansion board, even though the manual says it's purchased separately. That won't get you to 13 on it's own, but maybe it will get you close enough to use y-splitters or something like that.

I haven't played with it much but the AI software does let you set up fan profiles and define all of the fans in your case individually (including where they are). You could probably set up some profiling for specific workloads that way.

What software is that? I use the one that came with my Asus mobo but I don't think it controls them all individually, just CPU and Chassis fans.
