Going to be building a PC for the first time in 10 years, so I'm very out of the loop.
I've laid out my case to have 10 fans (6 intake at the bottom and front, 4 exhaust - 3 top + 1 at the back, all of them being the exact same fan, the Noctua NF-S12A PWM)
I have never worked with things like fan curves and setting your own fan speeds, so this is all new to me.
Does the following fan connection scenario make sense:

Does the following fan connection scenario make sense:
- Plug CPU fan into its dedicated CPU Fan header on the motherboard
- I want to control the speeds of the 6 intake fans grouping and 4 exhaust fans grouping separately
- Using the Deepcool FH-10, it can only sense the fan speed of Fan 1 that's plugged into it, so, all fans plugged into this controller will have the same fan speed percentage applied to all of them (i.e. if I set Fan 1 to 60%, all other fans connected to this controller will also run at 60%),
- Connect all 6 intake fans to one controller, and all 4 exhaust intakes to another controller - allowing me to running each grouping at different speeds to achieve my desired levels of thermal management and noise levels.
