So what you got the fans ( talking about speed/ here) plug into ,
fan/s> Y splitter > sys fan header ?
are the splitters a 3 or 4 pin ?
On my mobo msi z97 , it would not allow me to control the fans , so i had to buy a fan hub
Phanteks PWM Fan Hub
because all of my fans are corsair SP 3 pin.
I've got the same controller and I just connected all my fans to separate fan headers on the mobo instead of using a multi to one cable.
Yes. The fans have 4 pin connections which go into the splitter. Then the other end is 2 wires to a molex for power and 2 to the sys fan 3 and I've checked they are the correct pins for pwm.
I'll have a play about tomorrow and see what happens with a few configurations.
Unfortunately I've only three sys fan connections and have 4 fans. I'm guessing the CPU OPT connection is an option?
Just had to watch the vid that TTL did about the fans , i was a bit confused about the two cables coming from the fan it's self,Yes. The fans have 4 pin connections which go into the splitter.

@boltlock are you using splitters on your board ?
or just straight to the headers them selves.
Yeah, each fan to it's own header mate. I've only 4 fans so not really an issue.
How noisy?
Is there an option within the gigabyte system software , to "start with Windows" or something like that ?Very, very quiet.
I can hear the pump going and only a few slight whirring of the fans when system is idle.
A slight issue seems to be that the Gigabyte System Information Viewer saves the fan settings I've applied but doesn't apply them when the system starts up. I have to manually go into the software and click apply, then the fans quieten down.
Also, I've attached a HWMonitor screenshot again, it shows the fans all there, but doesn't list any as PWM.
Awesome mate, I'll give that a try!Is there an option within the gigabyte system software , to "start with Windows" or something like that ?
this could be fix for it , if there isn't that option
about half way down

Are you gonna put the glass front on it or leave it open?
The case does a nice job of keeping the 'internal' cabling tidy and discreet but what about the 'external' cables to the motherboard and GPU, whats your plan for managing them?
Its a tidy job, good work! Must kick off mine soon. Start my new job in January so will dust off the credit card in the new year.
I'd also like to know the answer of how to get the cooling to respond to GPU temperatures. Even in my current air cooled case, the case fans only respond to CPU temps, therefore might not be providing the cool ambient air my GPU needs to cool itself if my CPU is only lightly loaded.
Will the gigabyte software allow you set a certain temp on the GPU , so that when the GPU starts to hotter say 50c the pump will increase ?That seems to work now!
Also another stupid question. When running something that is likely to tax the GPU more than the CPU could there be a scenario where the GPU gets very hot but the pump doesn't increase speed because the CPU is cooler or does it not work like that?
Mine does this while gaming , i think it's just the mosfetsThe GPU did make this really odd buzzing noise whilst the benchmarks were being run.
@Greg Hook
You might have to restart the pc for speedfan to recognise to settings
you will have to restart speed fan as well , but after about a minute or so you should hear/see the pump decrease in speed
you can set speedfan to start at boot , but i'll show you late if you decided to use speedfan
@Greg Hook Speedfan is an absolute arse to set up. Watch Jay's video that @sykotik posted, he explains how to get Speedfan to identify your fans. That said, it still didn't offer the software control of my fans that I needed, so I gave up with it.
Just dl's speedfan on my laptop and i get the same result , does not detect my fans , so im left only the temps on the right hand side same as yours ,
iv had a good look through the settings but can't see anything to show "fans"
not sure what to do next , will have a look around the net , to see if i can find anything.
Could be the fact that it is new mobo ,as in current gen , the speedfan software is a good few years old and maybe the maker hasn't updated the software to co-inside with the newer mobo's .Thanks, I'm not sure where to go next. I installed speedfan on my current/older PC and when it starts up it detects a ton of stuff and shows the fans correctly on the left side. No idea why it doesn't on the new one!

Yea a very very quiet PC, low noise and very low temps even underloadIs this what you get with a watercooled system, is it that efficient?
