Hello,
I will have the MSI B250M PRO-VDH motherboard with 5 Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 2000 RPM Red LED fans. Will my motherboard support al 5 fans?
 
Solution
The CPU fan will conected on the motherboard where is CPU fan , the Fan controller is connected to the PSU and every fan on the case connected to the fan controller , i use from 10 years fan controllers for case fans is easy to use and you can adjust the temperature on your case without BIOS or any software. I don't know how to search in your language , here you have some examples from Newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=fan+controller&ignorear=0&N=-1&isNodeId=1

So I read a fan controller will be connected to the power supply but when a fan is connected to the power supply it will run at full speed right?! So i guess the fans will not run at full speed through a fan controller?! And then I can confirgure them to run as fast as they need to keep example: my case at 60c?!

EDIT: So I found this motherboard Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2H - 1.0 (https://azerty.nl/product/gigabyte/855703/ga-h110m-s2h-1-0-moederbord?gclid=CIOVt4Gyx9QCFYgV0wodDoMHew) and it says it supports 5 fans. And it is cheaper, so a win win situation right. But will it be comtapible with my Intel Core I5-7600 (https://www.update.nl/nl/521017/intel-coretm-i5-7600-7th-3-5-4-1-ghz-quad-core-lga1151/?affiliatenetwork=googleshopping&gclid=CMC_pPDowNQCFSco0wodxeoKGQ) then?

And what would be better anyway a fancontroller or standard issued motherboard fan controller?
 
Yes it will do with your cpu. But a fan conter will be powered by your psu but will allow you to set the speed on your fans. They will not spin allways at max speed as if they were directly connected to your psu.
If the fans are connected to your mb you will be able to controll them through uefi and software.
A decent controller also allows you to set a custom fan curve.

So I probably want top buy a fan controller for constant temps. How does it work then? Must I connect my fans to the controller then or the mobo? And do you have a suggested fan controller?
