I bought a Venomous X and I am looking at fans. Recommended so far has been Yate Loon 120s High or Medium speeds. I have seen that they are not PWM fans. I see 3 pins. Don't I need a 4 pin fan for my CPU HSF in order to control the fan?
Also I am trying to keep the price low to moderate but have a good fan that is not too loud. I was looking at the Noctua Cooler Fans but they are like 23 dollars a piece and I have been told they are just too expensive.
Are the Yates the right way to go? Or is there something I am missing about the whole 3 or 4 pin fans?
Also I have seen someone say how to modify the fans so they can be run off of two different headers, but still be monitored/controlled by the CPU header. Is that necessary on my motherboard. I have 8 different fan headers, can't they be controlled off my motherboard?
