Fan Speed Controller

[whubbard]

Is there any need for me to instal a Fan Speed Controller as I just realized that the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe has one built in, which can even be controlled by a remote? Should I instal the Sunbeam rheobus, or just use the P5W?

~Thanks~

i have the p5wdh, but i still use a fan controller. I like being able to just turn the knobs up or down tho. If you already have the controller just use it.

But then I wont be able to use the remote to control the fan speed...and it wont automatically adjust!!
...maybe I can loop it through the fan speed controller, more cables but that way it will be fully controllable, and it will be automatically controlled. Will that work?

I realized that wont work. I'm just going to run it from the motherboard, until I feel like im having problems with the temperatures.

You will need to have fans with 3pin connectors to do that. So if you don't then you will need to pick some up or get converters.

I also prefer run as few fans off of my motherboard as I can. I have all of mine to my fan controller that gets power from a 4pin molex off of the psu, say for my psu fan.

What case are you using?

I'm using a Thermaltake Kandalf (not the one with watercooling).
The fan speed controler I have is the Sunbeam Rheobus.
and my motherboard is the ASUS P5W DH Duluxe

Please...I really need the help!!! I'm building first thing tomorrow!!
Should I go directry to the powersupply, use the fan controler, or use my P5W DH which has some pretty sweet features.
