Need advice with 600T and fans.
I am a little confused with the Corsair 600T and the fan connectors. I found a site explaining the cables a little as well as one showing the fan connectors on my motherboard.

Motherboard:

Corsair 600T:

I am guessing that normally I would hook up the 3 case fans to the cha_fan1, cha_fan2 and cha_fan3 connectors on the motherboard. That way the 2 - 200mm fans and 1 - 120mm fan are connected to the motherboard.

Or I have the option of hooking the 3 case fans up to the 4 cables highlighted in red instead of connecting them to the motherboard. That way instead of the fan being controlled by the bios or software I can control it with the fan controller.

Can I only do that with the 200mm case fans? It doesn't mention the 120mm fan but I am guessing that would connect the same way. Then when I am done all 3 case fans are connected to the 4 cables in red leaving one spare one.

Also I would oviously hook up a molex connector from the power supply to the molex from the front panel highlighted in green otherwise there would be no power.

I think I understand it just want to make sure.

The fan controller can connect up to 4 fans. The case has 3 fans. The molex connector on the fan controller is what provides power to control up to 4 fans. You can connect all 3 of the case fans to the controller. It really boils down to how you want to control/power the case fans.

Yes exactly. I just wanted to make sure I had it all right. Didn't want some weird science thing happening. Then again that wouldn't be so bad. Thanks for the help.
