If you fill the vacant fan slots on the top/btm (using Corsair H100i for other 2 spaces) are the extra fans powered by the same controller?

If I understand your question correctly.... You do not want to have the H100i connected to the front panel fan controller on this case. Follow the manual of the H100i. If you install an extra fan on the top, connect that to the front panel controller of the case if you so wish.
1681033
Really, I don't understand the question. Because the fans in the H100i are controlled by the Corsair Link program.

You have a couple of options here. 1.Top fan can be use, with a splitter at the CPU head. However I did not. Because I want the CPU header to just control my H100i. 2. Find the nearest MB header, for top and bottom fan. That in itself depends on your board, and the number of headers, while trying to maintain great cable management. My setup is a h100i push/pull on top and a 120 mm fan on bottom. Hope that helps you out. Just remember that this case is a airflow dream. I love it. Filling all the slots, may not be necessary.

I believe so. I have 3 fans in 3 different rooms (which I want on independent controls) and accidentally got two of them responding to the same remote. It involves powering on all the fans at the same time so they all synchronize to the same remote signal.

Yes, fans plug directly into controller and then the controller is power by a molex connector from the power supply.

No, this is for manual control (it doesn't use the mobo controllers). Fans get plugged into this, and the round dials control the fan speed. I got this because my (asrock) motherboard didn't have enough controllers and I didn't want to run my fans at 100% power. CPU cooler stays on the motherboard, everything else gets plugged into this.

There's a cable with the little fan connectors on it. Additionally, some motherboards have 1 or 2 fan control plugs (in addition to the CPU fan control). If your motherboard has them, then it's *probably* a good idea to use those for the primary case fan, as the BIOS will rev the fans up and down according to its needs. (I think the included cable is designed to plug into an old-style Molex connector from the power supply, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't get to my machine at the moment.)

Yes with all the fans and the extra space provides really good air flow. Plus you can regulate fan speed as needed. For optimal air flow, I recommend repositioning the two forward LED fans to the front instead of the side.

These are three-pin fans. You would need to control them through the motherboard or a fan controller.

I have no issues with it and 4 of them are connected to 2 fan headers using the silverstone pwm splitter. What specific issues are you referring to?
2061834
I run 4 of them right now with one slot empty in between them and it will run without a fan.However, these seem to dip to 1.4 GHash/s after awhile (even with a fan). Could be my USB hub. Seems fine if restarted.

Correct. I use two of these to run 4 case fans.. 2 in front and 2 in rear. My motherboard controls the speed as designed. These are 4 pin connectors for PWM style fans. Don't be fooled as 1 connector only has 3 pins, this is by design to 'ignore' 1 fans speed signal to not 'confuse' the motherboard. Enjoy!

Four. It's a PWM fan just as advertised. As M. Lambert commented, it has extra hookups to customize or even chain two or more of the same fan to the same PWM controller on the MOBO.

-If you use 120mm only, 6 fans will fit.-If you use 200mm only, it will fit 2, but the only the cooler master brand may work for sure. I do not recommend getting 200mm for the top because eventually it makes clicking noises as it is not designed for that orientation. For reference, mine makes a clicking noise.-2 140mm fans would also fit at the top.-The fan slot locations are: 1 back, 1 side, 2 top (or 1 200mm), 2 front (or 1 200mm)For future reference, a quick google search on this would have produced the answer you are looking for in even better explanation.

The bottom one may not be usable depending on the length of your power supply. I was not able to get a fan to fit because the cables coming from mine were just too close. I do have 4 fans in use though, along with the CPU fan and that is plenty in my opinion. Stock fans are usable, but average at best. I moved them to the front and side and have high end 120mm in the back and top. Airflow is excellent in my opinion. I do really like this case due to the price and features.

I use the PWM splitter from Swiftech with these fans and haven't experienced any issues. I am running 5 or so of these fans for my water cooling setup.

If the fans are 4 pin molex yes but you will need a splitter if you have more than 1 fan. If the fans are 3 pin your going to need a 4 pin to 3 pin splitter. As for the fan controller yes you can use this to power it as long as it has a 4 pin molex connector!

I read somewhere that you need to have at least one hdd plugged into the hot swap bays in the front to get the front two fans working. Haven't tested that myself though because I've had an hdd in two of those slots since the start. You might just need to hook a power cable to the connectors on the hot swap bays inside the case.

There are two slots for top fans. They can hold two of either 120mm or 140mm fans
