My daughter building a new build with cougar conquer case. It has 3 top 120 fans screwed to 360 Radiator and we purchased 2 Corsair HD RGB 120 for the front.

She is using a Asus370 Max Hero MB. What do you recommend control them? Was thinking of connecting the 3 top case/radiator to MB with splitter to cpu fan connector. But the front Corsair do they require a separate controller?

You say the three case fans supplied with the case (they are CFD12 LED fans, according to the case web page) are screwed to a radiator. What radiator? What liquid cooling system are you mounting on the CPU? Maker and model, please. That will help figure out how these all can work.

For the two Corsair HD RGB 120 fans, they require a connection to some kind of controller for the RGB lighting portions. They may be sold as a single fan alone, as a single fan with a Corsair Lighting Node Pro controller, or as a three-fan set including that controller. The controller unit is manual only, but there are other ways to control the lighting effects in the fans using software. So, tell us exactly what you have to connect these two fans' RGB lines...
