I'm building my first pc coming up here shortly and need help with regards to the fan connections.
Case: Corsair 570x
Mobo: Asus ROG Maximus X Hero
CPU Cooler: Kraken x72
GPU: EVGA 1080ti ftw3 Hybrid
I'm going to be using a total of 9 fans (all 4pin pwm):
6 Corsair ML120's in front (push/pull) for x72 radiator. The 3 front (push) fans will be RGB and the 3 inside (pull) fans will just be regular non-RGB ML120's
2 ML140's (non-RGB) up top as exhaust
1 ML120 (non-RGB) in rear as push exhaust for the hybrid GPU radiator
I've tried to do a lot of my own research to figure this out but it just led to more confusion.
Ideally I'd want as few connections to the Mobo as possible for a cleaner look, maybe using a Silverstone pwm fanhub for 8 of the fans, however I'm unsure as to how the control of these fans will work since I've never done it before. Ideally I'd want to be able to control them all in software or bios (or some software that someone recommends; where they'll react to cpu or gpu temperatures), but don't know what the best approach is in terms of where on the Mobo or external devices to connect them all to (the 9 fans, as well as the cables for the CPU pump/rad and the GPU hybrid pump/rad).
Is anyone able to help me clear this up and figure out where on the Mobo to connect them to??? As well as how they'd be controlled/software? Thank you!
**Side note: If I can just use the 3 stock RGB SP120 fans that come with the 570x case as my 3 front/push radiator fans and still be able to control them then I'd do that and wouldn't purchase the 3 ML120 RGB fans. I wasn't sure though since I believe the stock SP120 RGB's that come with the case are 3 pin and I didn't know what or how this would affect it.
