Can someone shed light on what people are using to control fans on a quad radiator? I want to have 2 quad radiators in a build with Corsair SP 120 fans. I'd like to chain the fans on each rad to one channel on the Aquaero 5 XT if possible.

Can anyone point me how to chain these fans together? The only splitter I can find for 3 pin fans is this: http://www.specialtech.co.uk/spshop/customer/Phobya-600mm-3-Pin-to-4-x-3-Pin-Y-Cable-pid-16486.html

Is it better to use PWM fans for the radiators will this grant me more control and options? :confused:

I just wire them with a standard electrical block and strip the connectors. Make sure you check the max amps pulled by all the fans and compare that too the channel on the controller. When linking 4 fans to a single channel there is the potential to overload it.
