H440 fan setup

Solution
I prefer an automated process of some sort, whether by software like SpeedFan or mobo software, by bios or even by an automated fan controller. Not a big fan (no pun intended) of manual control, like case included switches or manual fan controller.
In automated, if the fans get really loud, there's a lot of heat in the case/cpu/gpu being generated, I want to know why. In manual, I often forget to either turn up the fans during gaming, or forget to turn them down later or have to adjust mid game if temps are getting off. Just a pain.
So yes, you can have the mobo do it for you, either by bios or software, separately.

There was 2 versions of the H440, one has a pwm fan hub, the other doesn't. Having 3pin fans I'd assume there's no pwm...

Confused. The build shows an nzxt s340, not the H440.
But for the H440, that's fine, almost all the cpu exhaust will get pulled right out the top by the top-front 2x fans anyway, the 2x towards the rear will be mainly dealing with gpu exhaust.

Just word of advice, you have 2x intakes and 4x exhaust. Make sure the exhausts stay at lower rpm (about 1/2-2/3rds the speed) of the intakes, it'll keep the airflow more balanced, so you won't have a dust magnet.

sry about the case thing forgot to change it :D, it is h440 though
as for the rpm the fans are 3 pin, the can be adjusted via dc mode right? and should I fix the rpm or leave it for the mobo to control?
