I am making a water cooling loop (GPU and CPU) and I am trying to get some fans (for the radiators) that I can plug into a fan hub and plug into the CPU fan header in order to have them speed up and slow down with the heat levels of the CPU.

I am looking for some 120mm high static pressure, pwm controlled, red led fans.

I know that there are these, but they are a bit on the pricey side.

Thanks in advance

Update: I found these BitFenix fans but they are 3-pin connected. It says that it comes with a 3-pin to 4-pin connector, but would this enable the fans to be controlled by the motherboard?

Re your question on the 3- to 4-pin adapter: NO!

4-pin fans have a set of different electrical circuits inside them to use the PWM signal system. No 3-pin fan has this, so no adapter can make them work under PWM control. What the suppliers of those 3-pin fans actually provide in the "adapter" is a way to connect that 3-pin fan to a 4-pin Molex power output from the PSU so that the fan can run at full speed all the time, NOT under mobo control.
