Solved Will this all fit?

[Ascendents]

Hey all thinking of a build to put together I've done some research but i would like to know if this will all fit with no issues wanting your opinions thanks.

Computer case - Newegg.com - Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl w/ USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Computer Case
CPU Cooler - Newegg.com - Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler
Motherboard - Newegg.com - MSI Z77 MPOWER LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Certainly looks like it should.

that's great another question if you don't mind me asking the motherboard has 4 system fans connectors and the define r4 has a fan controller for 3 fans does it work as in all 3 fans in the controller goes to 1 system fan connector then the 3 other case fans on the motherboard if that's the case i could have a total of 6 system fans correct?

Looks the Case Fans for that model are:

Fan controller for 3 fans (included), 1 rear Fractal Design 140mm @1000rpm (included), 1 front Fractal Design 140mm @1000rpm (included), 1 front 120/140mm fan (optional), 2 top 120/140mm fan (optional), 1 bottom 120/140mm fan (optional), 1 side panel 120mm/140mm fan (optional)

You should be able to achieve your needs in fans config

i know what fans it can hold the main question here is can i have all 6 system fans if i would chose so with the config i posted already?

Well...looks the motherboard have system fans for 4pins on all the fans, and the Define R4 have a fan controller for 3pins fans supplied.

Yes i know the motherboard supports 4 system fans and the define r4 supports 3 fans in the fan controller the question is using the fan controller for 3 fans does it plug into 1 motherboard system fan header then have additional 3 system fans in the remaining slots on the motherboard understand?

 

[Pedroc1999]

some fan controllersplug into a 4pin fan connector and some into the 3pin fan connector

If Define R4 have only 3Pins fans headers and the motherboard have 4pins fans headers, i doubt it can help you, understand?

 

[Pedroc1999]

there is problably a 3pin-4pin conveter and vice verse on the internet but i neber come across one

 

[Ascendents]

yes i do im using the fan controller as an example if i were to use the stock fans 1 rear and 1 intake i would wanna put 2 on top of the case so the motherboard would be filled up and if i wanted a 5th fan on the side as well without removing any fans could i do it with the help of the fan controller?

i think what he's asking is... if the fan controllers fans connect to the motherboard?
if the case has a built in fan controller then the fans in the case that r connected to that controller will not connect to the motherboard. only fans u add will connect to the motherboard.
correct me if i'm wrong. was'nt sure how the question was meant

so it doesn't work as in Fans>Fan controller>Motherboard?

 

[Pedroc1999]

fan controllers dont add extra fans they just controle them(some do i think), if you want more fans then get a molex to 3pin/4pin adapter from ebay or amazon. NOTE. the fan controller wont controle these even if they are labeled as PWM and these will allways run at full throttle so get a low rev/ high airflow fan if you want this

 

[Pedroc1999]

they work in

motherboard > fans(any other fans + cpu)
and
PSU > Fan controller > fans (only for fans that came with case)

 

[Ascendents]

would that be needed because the idea was 3 of these fans 2 top 1 side and the stock 2 fans in the case also posted the psu

Fan - Newegg.com - Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition CO-9050009-WW 140mm Case Fan
PSU - Newegg.com - CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

if the case comes with its own fan controller then more than likely this controller will control only the case fans and they wont be connected to the mobo.
if its a seperate controller you added then i think the fans that connect to it are powered via molex and the controller has a sensor cable that connects to the mobo. i'm not a 100% on that though as i've not used a 3rd party fan controller

 

[Pedroc1999]

i agree with the above post and thats how i think they work

 

[Ascendents]

ok thanks that makes sense
