| Modder-ator  | Re: Is a fan controller needed? The Arctic Cooling fans should be reasonably quiet at stock 12v speed. If you find that they are too loud though, a simple fan controller of some kind would definitely do the trick to lessen the noise (and subsequently the speed).  |

| Re: Is a fan controller needed? The thing is... I dont know much about attaching fans except through the power supply cables. Where on the motherboard could i hook them up to. I'm running the 680i mobo. I can't find the motherboard guide right now so i need some help for when they arrive.

| Re: Is a fan controller needed? certain fans don't have motherboard connectors. there are 4 pin molex connectors that go to the PSU, and others that have 2, 3, or 4 pin connectors that go to the mobo. as i recall the 4 pins, (not molex, mind you) are quite rare.  |
