Hello'
I am building a new gaming pc and the case I ordered has fan controllers built in to the top of the case. I would like to make use of these but I'm a bit confused on how. My PSU has 4 4pin molex connectors. From what I've read is that the molex connectors are used for this. I just need to know how to set this up so that the fan controllers on the top of the case control the fan speed. Here is my parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/s8CmRB

Thank You for your time,
Chance

Hello there,
Plugging fans into integrated fan controller is pretty easy. Once you have plugged every single case fan into separated fan controller channel, you will need to power your fan controller some way. Depending on the controller, some of them will be plugged into PSU with molex or Sata power cable.

Certain fans come with controllers, certain cases have controllers setup for their fans. You just plug it in, mount the controller somewhere (or not if its case controlled) and go.

Personally I don't think controlling fans is a very practical thing. Just seems like over-complicating a build.
