Hi,
Thinking of building my first water rig, purely for silent running (not OC). I'm investing in a 3900X + 3800 GPU and want to put both underwater for a quiet rig. I'm likely to be going for 360 rads in both the top and front with 3 pull fans on the front (assuming they will fit) and 6 push/pull fans on the top. I would also like to include a couple of fans in the base in either push or pull depending on whether I can achieve positive pressure inside the case (prefer it to negative).
The question I have is how the heck to control all of the fans plus water pump???? I've not selected a MOBO yet but was assuming I can daisy chain each set (top, front, bottom, back) into a fan header on the board, plug the pump into the CPU fan and voila? Would it best to use PWM to control the fans speed? If so, how is this achieved (assuming the internal fan headers PWM are linked to the case temperature and not the CPU/GPU temp).
The more I look into this, the more unanswered questions I find. Help appreciated.
