P5B Deluxe and Antec P180B

[pinkcaddy]

I'm looking at getting this combo in the next month or so. In addition to the three fans included with the case, I want to put in an additional fan in the front, but the P5B Deluxe only has three onboard case fan connections. Is there another way to power the 4th fan or do I need to step up to the WiFi that has 5 case fan connections?

You shouldn't worry about that. The 3 Antec fans connect directly to a molex (as far as I remember they don't even have a 3/2 pin connector to the board).

The fans included with the P180 DO NOT use motherboard power connections. They all go directly into the power supply and all have manual switches for the 3 speeds.

EDIT: and pmpp is correct, no motherboard connections for monitoring either.

Good news...that means I can add that fourth fan with no problem.

So how do I control the speed of the fans?

Doh! I just a should have read "they have 3 manual switches".

Thanks...
