    Aerocool DS 200 & Z97-K Intel Z97 Socket 1150 MB Fan controllers question

    Just wondering if the above two are compatible and would work together, or if only one would work. I don't have much clue about how fan controllers work or how to fit together.

    the motherboard has 'Fan Xpert 3' (don't know a lot about it or how it works), but the case also has build in fan controller display with fan control. does anyone know how these would work? and what features might me lost / sacrificed?

    thanks
    Matt

    "Advanced fan controls for ultimate cooling and quietness with Fan Xpert 3

    Fan Xpert 3 is an extremely advanced fan-management tool that puts 4-pin/3-pin CPU and case fan controls in one place. It scans each fan's characteristics and intelligently delivers custom settings for each fan based on the dedicated area temperatures. Make sure every fan achieves the best balance of cooling performance and low noise.
    Fan Xpert 3 supports hardware-level PWM/DC combo mode for both the CPU and case fans. It even has the upgraded ability to reduce the CPU fan speed to below the default minimum, for extra-quiet and power saving operation during light loads."

    They're completely separate controls from what I understand.
    The Motherboard has it's own fan control and the case has it's own completely separate fan control as well.

    In a way you're going to have 2 seperate fan controllers if that's what you're asking.
