How do you hook up the fan controller's three connections? I don't see anywhere appropriate on my motherboard or my PSU.

Your chassis fans should connect directly to the controller connectors. If the connections are incompatible you'll need a converter.

There's a cable with the little fan connectors on it. Additionally, some motherboards have 1 or 2 fan control plugs (in addition to the CPU fan control). If your motherboard has them, then it's *probably* a good idea to use those for the primary case fan, as the BIOS will rev the fans up and down according to its needs. (I think the included cable is designed to plug into an old-style Molex connector from the power supply, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't get to my machine at the moment.)

There are usually extra connectors coming off the power supply.Some are for harddrives and dvd drives.Generally there are extras just dangling unused in there.there should be two choices for plugs that come with the fan.Both will fit the multiple types of connectors coming off the power supply.The real important part is to not over tighten the screes when connecting the fan to the case or where ever your puting it.Hope that helped.

Nope, but you could use a "Silverstone Tek Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable" to connect both fans t the motherboard header.

The fan controller is independent of the motherboard. It gets power from the large 4 pin molex(or two for redundancy, if I recall), and from there splits power to 6 independent fans through the small pin headers(same size as motherboard).

There are 2 CPU fan and 3 system fan connecters on the MPower Max motherboard.I connected 6 fans and a liquid pump to it using Y-cables.

These are three-pin fans. You would need to control them through the motherboard or a fan controller.

Pretty much any fan controller that is front/5.25 mountable should be fine but i don't have a controller in mine, i just let the motherboard handle the system fans, and my Corsair H80i has its own internal controller. Something like this would be fine: http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-Multi-Function-Controller-Cooling-FPX-003/dp/B00DPA0QRE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1410879310&sr=1-2&keywords=fan+controller

I have no issues with it and 4 of them are connected to 2 fan headers using the silverstone pwm splitter. What specific issues are you referring to?

I used a fan splitter cable such as SilverStone Technology All Black Sleeved 1-to-2 Sleeved PWM Fan Splitter Cable (CPF01)You could also use a separate fan controller instead.

Yes, fans plug directly into controller and then the controller is power by a molex connector from the power supply.

As said in the previous comments, once it's plugged into the motherboard, you are halfway there. My fan has a 3-position switch at the end of a wire, else, it will be on the case. The speed settings are low, medium and high.

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

If your talking about the 4 pin molex connectors they attach to your power supply. A suggestion get rid of the stock fans they don't move very much air

Yup, it'll connect right up. Edit: I've got mine hooked up to my PSU powering six fans.

There's a fan controller next to the USB 3.0 ports on top of the tower, but it only toggles them on and off and can't control their speed. I bought an NZXT Sentinel fan controller because I overclock and I love the thing.

4 pin pwm connections which work on 3 pin as well. You can use it on a mobo with 1 fan connection with a powered pwm splitter that draws from the psu directly. That's my recommendation if you use a splitter that's not powered you might get some noise from the fans on start up. But that depends on the amps your mobo can provide. Hope that helps. Oh and by the way I replaced mine with a AIO water cooler and the temps are way better allowing for an additional oc of 0.4ghz

There is a set of prongs just below and to the right of the RAM card slots, labeled "sysfan1". If you want a second fan, you'll have to hook it up to your power supply. That's as far as I know.
