Hello, right I have setup my pump and radiator and all my watercooling crap. my radiator has 3 gentle typhoon fans in it, they each have 1 cable that has 3 pin connector on it. I have an asus rampage V extreme MB and an NZXT h630 I think, the latest quiet case from them. and on the back it has what looks like the fan header thing, which is covored in 3 pin connectors that say fan1 fan 2 ect, so I plugged them into that. Now I have no idea how to control them, in asus AI suite, no fans show up?

First of all, congrats with the great ocing mobo. Which cpu among the 3 Haswell-es u have bought? I have bought a 5960x with a NZXT p630.
Now, to ur question, ur case don't have a built-in fan controller. So, when u connect those fans to...
Using the hub like that, individual fan control is not possible. In order to use the Asus AI Suite, each fan needs to be plugged into an individual header directly on the motherboard. There are other options for fan control but using the hub like that, individual control is not possible

Now, to ur question, ur case don't have a built-in fan controller. So, when u connect those fans to the fan connector of ur case, u provide full power to all ur fans through the case & so all fans run at full speeds. Since the fan connectors of each fans are not connected to your mobo, ur mobo doesn't detect either of these fans & hence u can't control these using the AI suite. Now, if u want to control the fans using the asus software, remove each of the fan connectors connected to the fan connector of the case & connect them to any of the 6 fan connectors on ur mobo. In ur manual the fan connectors will be marked as:6 x Chassis Fan connector(s) (6 x 4 -pin). Then they will be detected on the next boot-up.
Hope this helps. 😉

I wish I hadn't done an early answer on this thread and not sure if people will see this reply now. But I plugged them into MB and been playing arund for few weeks and still can't get fan control to see them properly or control them?
 

Can u specify exactly where u have connected the connectors on mobo? If possible post some pics.
It may sound dumb but recheck have u connected the connectors properly.
