If you buy coolermaster fan they will usually give u power connector extension for ur fan, so u can just daisy chain ur fans using only one power connector...

I just get a Front Panel with fan control function ... Got extra port behing the panels and you can easily maintain the sound value produced by those fans by manipulating the RPM biggrin.gif

DIY urself a FAN Controller ....

Im sure it wud do the trick of controlling all ur fans biggrin.gif

A single or double Power input and u can make as many output as u like, but make sure the regulator can withstand the burden. biggrin.gif

2 normal case fan wud be fine per controller. biggrin.gif

i have 3 controllers biggrin.gif ; 1 controller controls 2 fan biggrin.gif


Good Luck. biggrin.gif

u can always check ur psu rail power, by using a mobo monitoring software

eg.

Abit EQ for abit users. biggrin.gif

or i think in ur mobo bios, u can check there too.. biggrin.gif


Hope that helps....
