This is my first build, and the case I'm using is the NZXT Phantom (full parts list here). Something that I didn't spot in my research is that (a) the case comes with a manual fan controller, and (b) all the stock fans in the case (there are 4) use 3-pin connectors.
I'm not too keen on having to fuss with a manual controller on my first build, so I was wondering if I should (a) grab an aftermarket fan controller with an automatic mode, (b) try to find an adapter that will convert the 3-pin fan connector to 4-pin so I can connect them to my mobo, or (c) not worry about it.
I do plan on using either the ROG connect feature along with my laptop to monitor temperatures, or using multiple monitors, with another temperature program up on one of the other monitors.
I don't plan on overclocking right now, but I would like to leave that option open.
