too many fans

[PC noob and noobier]

Hi everyone.

Noobie here. I am going to build a extreme x99 system with water cooling.

I got a super flower leadex 1200 platinum.

I have 24 fans. How do I connect that many fans? Do i need something like a hub?

2x480 rads, each 8 fans for push pull config. = 16 fans
7 front air flow fans
1 rear air flow fans
These are corsair sp and af fans. And all LED.

What i am not sure if i have enough plugs to run these? LEd and fans plugs are they separate?
Pls advise.

Thanks

Post your complete and detailed build. You won't need 480 radiators or push-pull fans. And you won't need 8 case fans either.Do more research.

Try 2 radiators each with 2 fans plus 4 fans for your case. That's 8 all up. You might need to look at a fan controller eg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811999171

Looks a pretty good PSU. But I hope it matches your build.

I've never heard anybody needing 24 fans before, that's crazy cool.

Your going to need multiple aftermarket fan controllers that control the fans all by themselves, all they need is a PSU connection.

OK I think i can use this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2ZK2VW/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Each hub connects 10 fans.

Now can I ask any fan controller hardware recommendations that can control 24 fans?
I believe fan controllers can handle 3 pin fans right? corsair non-pwm fans are all 3 pin I guess.

1. Caselabs TH10a (purchased)- this is a monster of a case with wheels and expansions would be approx 85cm tall. 40cm wide, 70cm deep. if fill all holes, it can take 16 fans i suppose. due to push pull, i bring it up to 24.
2. Super flower 1200 platinum PSU (purchased)
3. Asus Ares 3 (single slot, comes with EK waterblock fty installed) - waiting for release and review which should be within next couple weeks.
4. Intel 5930K - waiting to purchase within next couple weeks
5. Asus x99 Deluxe Mobo
6. RipJaws DDR4 4x4G 3000hz
7. OCZ revo350 PCIE 480G SSD - in my shopping cart with the 24 fans as I write.
8. Water cooling with XSPC (purchased)- 270cm reservior, 1 D5 vario pump, 2 x 480 rads in push pull. Too many parts to list, but its close to contents in the RX V3 kit. I did not order the kit as I do not need the fans, want 1 more rad, and a larger reservoir to that in the kit.


any advise appreciated.

thanks

Put it in PartPicker and post your complete and detailed build.

And the need for that many fans?

I cant do it on partpicker, tried already. Many items are not available on there. I recall my psu, water cooling, the ares3 which is not out, case even are not options there.

Why I am going 24 fans and how wasteful it is, is irrelevant here tbh.

I think I have found my answer after more research. Using the Nzxt grid 10 way splitter, it can be connected to a fan controller. I believe all 10 fans will be considered as 1, which is fine with me. So I can go with a Corsair link mini commander, and then control by software. The software looks great tbh and hardware comes with 3 temp sensors. will have to wait for it to be released.

Thanks anyway.
