    The other 2 plug directly into the power supply through the 4 pin Molex power connector, which gives no fan control.

    For a system like this I would get a CD drive bay fan controller so you can manually control all the fan speeds.

    Re: Antec 1200

    Thank you for your quick answer, and could you please link me to the CD drive bay controller your talking about? i saw some LCD front panels but they all had bad reviews and use lot of power, i only have 750W and im planning on doing crossfire soon, also that fan has the option of installing another 80mm fan i think it is for extra cooling to the cpu,video card and mobo, i might do this as well when i crossfire,so thats 3 extra connections, think the psu will have enough? Thanks again

     

    Edit, oh yeah forgot, the antec does have fan control in the back, forgot if its only for the top 200mm fans or all of them, but anyways, please link me to the drive bay controller, the most popular/good if possible.
