Hi guys,
After quite a bit of research, I think I have settled on the Corsair 400C as my case choice. I have a question regarding fans and fan control though.
This is my planned motherboard: ASRock X370 Killer. It has the following fan connectors: 1 CPU Fan Connector (4-pin), 1 CPU Optional/Water Pump Fan Connector (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control), 2 Chassis Fan Connectors (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control), and 1 Chassis Optional/Water Pump Fan Connector (4-pin) (Smart Fan Speed Control).
I have a few questions:

I have a few questions:
- If I buy extra Corsair AF120/140 fans to put in the case, and end up with 5 fans (3 back/top, 2 intake), how will I distribute these to the motherboard? 5 fans, 3 chassis fan connectors. Do I have to use two splitters to send 2 fans to a single connection? If so, what splitters are recommended? My fans would be 3 pin.
- If my fans are 3 pin, will I still get system fan control if I plug them into 4 pin slots on the motherboard?
