Hi Guys new to msi forums,

just have a quick question, am really new to building comps and thought i would treat myself to the bb xpower (nice mobo) anyway, so far i have the mobo, bought a cm storm scout case and a corsair H50 cpu cooler, the question i have is with this mobo would it be possible to install a fan controller? i still have the cpu to get, cant really afford the i7 gulftown at the moment, but am going to go for the i7 930 bloomfield.

as i said im a bit of a noob as far as building comps goes,lol so any suggestions or tips on what or what not to do.

any help greatly appreciated.

thanks

Yes (a fan controller is usually a device call of its own that operates totally seperated from the mainboard so it does not really be compatible to the motherboard).

Anyway, any 4-Pin CPU-Fan connected to the CPU-Fan-Header (4-Pin) will be automatically regulated by the mainboard.  Also, as far as I know the System Fan Connectors of the board (SYSFan1-4) can be manually regulated via the BIOS or via a software tool such as SpeedFan.  So, the question is: Maybe that is already all you need and perhaps you do not even need an extra fan controller?
