These fans aren't PWM controlled, so you would need a separate fan controller. If you would rather have PWM fans they aren't much more in price than non PWM fans, you should be able to find some cheaper than these.

Yes, however you can not go below 1800 RPM. When you use corsair link on balanced mode, it is around 2000 which is super loud. Quiet mode only goes down to 1800, which is also very loud. You can use the speed reducers, however those only go up to 1600, but it can be quieter. Just go buy the PWM edition for h100i.

I have 4 of these on a H100i and haven't had any problems. You should return it and get a replacement. There is always a chance that a part will be defective. It is just how lucky you are. Corsair is still the way to go. These fans rock. Or the CoolerMaster JetFlo

if you look at the board you can see the fan connectors as 4 pin, labeled as FAN1 or FAN2. theres also one thats a lighter color labeled CPU for the cpu fan. So it only fits 2 case fans. HOWEVER, if you have something like a corsair H100i (dont buy it, i've gone through 3 already from warranty) it has extra fan headers for the radiator, and you can also buy splitters for the mobo fan connecters, but i think the cut the voltage in half, slowing the fans

Honestly if you have a fan controller it doesn't really matter sound wise, more or less the same but with different fans. I changed my fans out on my h100i to SP fans(loud) and I have them running slow and quiet. Temps... Meh not an issue at 4.5Ghz X99 Haswell-e ...

http://bit.ly/1enfqbdIn all seriousness it has 1 APU fan header with 4 pins and then 2 additional system fan headers for a total of three 4 pin fan headers including the apu cooler.Also the MOBO works great and has a lot of great features. Well worth the price.

Black is 0 V (ground or negative), the next to it, yellow, is the + 12 V (positive). Next green = sensor of rotation speed, then blue is the additional, programmable 0-12 V (PWM). 2nd and 4th are sometimes interchangable, but not always. Just sticking a second wire from the system board to the 4th fan's won't activate some of the fans. But putting a PWM into the second wire of a fan is more likely to control it. At fans it's better to look at the position in the connector, rather than colors. 0 V is always the first, edgemost, corresponding to the plastic tooth. The 3rd (sensor) is at the opposite tooth, and the 4th PWM is the pin protruding beyond the plastic tooths to the side. Looking like an additional contact "added later" to the fan standard. And in all computer wire sets, i guess, a black wire is the 0 V, and if there's no black, then a white should exist, and the white is 0 V.

No it just lets you connect multiply fans to 1 usb header. They work well it is usually needed if you have lots of fans but only a few usb fan connect spots on your mother board. Note fan speeds are controlled by cpu load or fan controller on some later cpu chips. The 2 fans connected to this will run at the same speed.

The H100i comes with some SP120 fans i would guess that they are probably the same fans. The only difference being the interchangeable ring. These Air Series fans are 1450 rpm but i could not find any details on the fans included with the H100i.

The included fan is a 3-pin. And it is quite loud. I replaced it with a 4-pin pwm (with equivalent size and air flow) from Cooler Master. It is much quiter, but this cooler only performs OK for the amount of money I spent in total. Luckily that build will not be overclocked, and I can be happy with the definite improvement over the stock part. It will cool your fx-8350 according to the specs on the box, but I would not use this on a high performance CPU like yours over something like the CM Hyper 212 unless your case cannot fit a tall heatsink.

You can plug in 3-pin fans in to this and use it to plug 2 fans (2 3-pins or even 1 3-pin + 1 4-pin) in to one motherboard header. You just wont have variable fan speed because the 4th pin is responsible for modulating it.

Pretty much any fan controller that is front/5.25 mountable should be fine but i don't have a controller in mine, i just let the motherboard handle the system fans, and my Corsair H80i has its own internal controller. Something like this would be fine: http://www.amazon.com/KingWin-Multi-Function-Controller-Cooling-FPX-003/dp/B00DPA0QRE/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1410879310&sr=1-2&keywords=fan+controller

They are 3-pin. They do work with 3pin voltage controllers to control fan speed.

I hooked the fan up to a molex plug but I don't see why it wouldn't work using the 3 pin connector. My side fan is connected directly to my mobo using the 3 pin connector and works just fine.

Yes. I received mine yesterday and installed the H100i along with the pre-installed front fan. The pre-installed side fan had to be removed to accommodate the H100i but that is expected.

I have two of the same running on my H100i and they are very quiet. In fact I am running near 10 of these fans on my Cooler Master Cosmos II case and barely can hear the box running.

There are qty 4, 4 pin connectors for case fans, and 2 for cpu. The 4 pin ports are good for 3 pin fans too, just to be clear. This is a great MB for the $, I am completely satisfied..

I'm guessing the h100i is a fan. If that is the case then need not worry. I am using 8 fans within the case not just the standard 3 it comes with. This case is really big and can accommodate anything but for reassurance go back to the product page and see what size are the fans being used and match any additional fans specs to that.
