Hi all,
I've got 5 fans in my pc, as a push-pull setup and the other three as case fans. 4 are sickleflow 120, and one is the stock fan that comes with the 212 hyper+. I'm just wondering is there any way to control all the fans speed, preferably as required by cpu temperature?
Mobo is MSI p67a -gd53, which to my knowledge can only control two fans. Am I correct then in saying I will need a fan controller? And if so, can it control multiple fans while being slave to the mobo via one 3 or 4 pin connection?

Thanks

You could purchase a manual fan controller:

Yes I've seen a few already, but I'm more interested to find if it can be adjusted by the motherboard - like the way cpu fans can be depending on the current temperature

That would depend on the availability of settings in your BIOS menus.
