This is my first build so be gentle please ;) I just bought this case last week and am a bit stumped about how to hook up all six fans that this case comes with to the three available fan controller connections on most MoBos.
Can anyone offer some assistance??
 
You are correct...most motherboards don't come with enough fan control connections. Have you though about a third party fan controller? I have had them for years. Works great.

Fan Controllers

I use the Black Zalman MFC-1 and could not complain. The voltage range is great. If I turn them all the way down, my fans almost stop. If I crank it the fans almost blow my case over. It really gives you a wide variety of speeds to use.
 
I just took a REALLY good look at the connections for these fans. NZXT may have come up with the best solution yet. It looks like all of the six fans are wired to ba able to daisy chain them. At least two fans to each controller. Although they all have three pin controller plugs. My Gigabyte MoBo (GA-MA790XT-UD4P) has two three pin and one four pin fan controller headers.
