I wanted a black and red themed computer so I decided to buy the ASUS Maximus IX Hero (RGB), and a Corsair case with one red LED intake fan... Wasn't enough red. At the time, I was eager to just get some red fans, so I purchased some decently rated Thermaltake Riing fans from Best Buy which come with a physical fan control.
A link to the set of fans here.
Not knowing how far computers have come, I did not realize that I could control and configure a ton of fans just from my motherboard... So I thought, "Wow! A fan control and red!" Not wow.
These fans are powerful, but they all come on or off at once because AI Suite controls them all from the H_AMP port the control is plugged into. I'm considering plugging them into their own power supports on my motherboard and tossing the control, but I do not know if I will be able to configure the colors. Plus, if I do this, I will have to really... I mean really take some stuff apart.
What do you think?
