This is my FIRST custom build in over ten years, and I wanted to try and design it for MAJOR overclocking ability cuz I work ALOT on processing sudio and video, uncompressed - which take A LONG time I want to speed up the processing time as much as possible - so here's my system;

BFG 1000watt power supply
Thermaltake Armor+ LCS VH600LBWS Liquid Cooled Case w/ 230mm side fan
ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Phenom II x6 1090T 3.2Ghz
16GB OCZ Reaper Edition DDR3 1333
OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G - System Drive
60GB SSD - OCZ Vertez turbo MLC - HDD Boost with 1TB WD Caviar 6Gb/s HD
128GB SSD - Kingston V Series (Pro Audio or video Files currently being worked on)
2x 1TB western Digital Caviar 7200RPM 64MB SATA3 6Gb/s (Primary storage of all audio & video projects currently being worked on)
SAMSUNG SATA 22X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe
Sony Light Scribe 22x SATA DVD Burner
Pioneer IDE CD/DVD Burner LabelFlash
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100282VXSR Radeon HD 5850 (Cypress Pro) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
32” 1080p HDTV main monitor
2 19” split monitors on each side of the 32” primary screen for different operations
1 x Tripp Lite SMART1500LCD Smart Pro Digital 1500 VA 900 Watts 8 Outlets Line Interactive UPS w/ LCD display
IOGEAR GKM561R Black 2.4GHz Wireless HTPC Multimedia Keyboard with Laser Trackball and Scroll Wheel
Rosewill RC-217 SATA II 4 Port RAID 0/1/5/10 PCI RAID Card
COOLMAX CMF-1425-GN 140mm Case Fan x2 (For hard drives)
Rosewill RFA-120-RL 120mm 4 Red LEDs LED Case Fan x3 (one at the bottom of the case one at the top, 1 for rear)
1 rear exhaust fan in the bottom PCi slot

ALL of my fans, except for the 230mm fan have MOLEX connectors absolutly NO 3-pin or 4-pin connectors that would typically connect to the MOBo or a fan controller.

My QUESTION: Is there a way to, 1. control the speed of these fans, 2. Have temperature sensors to help in the controlling of this fan

Forv I tend to do ALOT of Overclocking when i am processing audio or video - However there are times when i need to do so recording, using microphones in the same room as my computer, so I would like to be able to turn the fans down as far as possible, or possibly even off since I have the liquid cooling system and obviously would NOT be overclocking at the time of recording

Thanks for any advice or help on this subject

Couple of comments:

1) BFG power supply?
2) You won't be able to pull more than 900 watts because of UPS, so why have a 1000 watt P.S.?
3) Why so many CD/DVD drives? And of mixed make and model....no Blu-Ray?
4) Which Armor case?
5) Will the video be processed solely by the CPU?
