Hey all,
It seems that fans/controllers are a hot mess..
I have three AIO I am looking at for this build.
1: EK Nucleus CR360 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LR...u-cooler-ek-nucleus-aio-cr360-lux-d-rgb-white
2: arctic freezer ii 360 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/cd...-a-rgb-4882-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-acfre00152a
3: lian li galahad trinity 360 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/HH...ty-sl-inf-613-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-ga2t36inw
I have heard lots of stories of the galahad dying and pump failure, so was leaning toward EK or arctic. my understanding is they each come with 3 fans. these are standard fans which if mounted normal would be exhaust, but i was planning to swap the fans for reverse blade fans to use as intake.
Now, i know RGB/LCD/fan controllers are not standardized, so based on the research ive done i think i can swap the 3 fans on the AIO for the 3 reverse blade LCD fans. then i could take the 3 arctic or EK fans and use them as top case exhaust fans. then I would use 3 lian li uni fans on the bottom of the case as intake, and one 140mm fan on the rear as exhaust
my question is, what parts/controllers/adapters are needed to make this all work so the computer can control the fans, and also the RGB things. is it even possible across brands? i figured the galahad is simplest solution but also high failure rate has me scared.
i think i need the adapter i linked in the build and the fans come with a controller - not sure if i need anything else for all this to work.
adapter
thank you!
