Turn off fans with chasis?

[patriciogregorio]

Hi, i have 8 fans aprox, all are connected to my chasis, is the corsair 780t, but in the night i awnt to turn them off and my chasis only "down the speed" but still turned off with all ligh, so i want to know what option should i take
*Connect them to my motherboard (asus formula ix, but i dont have 8 pin fan connector on it)
* Buy a external fan controller
* Buy a new fan controlled by software

The fans should be turning off completely. That's not normal. Are you shutting down Windows or do you click on the chassis' power button to turn off your PC?

no, i let the pc on, and the light are annoy in the dark, so i am thinking on what should i do for control the light, that 3 are my options

Right, well yeah your only option is to get a fan controller like you've suggested.

What is the brand of your 8 fans?

not sure but is a low price cost, you think i should buy a controller fan or a pci extender for fan connection to motherboarD?

I would recommend a fan hub. But usually this will work better if all fans are from the same brand as the hub itself.

Alternatively, you can get fan splitters that will allow you to connect several fans to a single motherboard fan-pin

Between 15 usd per fan or like 11 usd if I use a hub/splitter

At this price point, I would go for either one of these two fans types depending on whether you would rather have performance or something quiet. I'm pretty sure any fan hub is compatible as long as it support the same pin as the actual fans (3-Pin, 4-Pin, PWM, etc..)

Ty! And and controller ?

Like I said, I'm pretty sure any of those 10-30$ fan hubs from deepcool, silverstone, or other known brands should work as long as the pins are the same.

So check on the fans you bought first and see what pin they have (3-pin, 4-pin, PWM, etc..). And then buy a hub that supports the same pin.

If you're going for RGB fans and want them to sync together, it'll be more expensive
