Would you have included anything else in that list?

Of course, I realise this, but I'm still curious what the plenum is made of.
I will have a closer look at product doco and their site, thanks.

Controlling fans with your motherboard can be tricky - sometimes it works great, other times not so great. Generally, when we're doing water cooling - this adds more than the typical amount of fans to the system, making it impractical to hook radiator fans to the motherboard. If you don't have a fan controller, you'll want to hook your extra fans up directly to your PSU. Again - it depends on your motherboard - maybe you have enough connectors, and maybe you'll have control capabilities. BUT (and this is just my opinion) - I think it's cleaner and safer to leave the majority of fans off the motherboard, and I wouldn't recommend piggy backing fans on any one header on the board.

Fan controllers are cheap - and give you flexibility, but they are not a necessity.
All stuff I knew but always good to hear it from someone else, so thanks!

I think I'll play it by ear....
The total no. of fans I end-up with, & the sort of capacity/control I have via my board...
Will determine if I jump to a discrete controller for at least some of my fans.

If the need becomes clear I'll do some research, and maybe start a dedicated thread.

Thanks again.
