Question 1

What type of connectors are on the pre-included fans?

Accepted Answer

The 5 included fans are 3 pin fans but the controller has a 4 pin pwm connector which when connected to a 4 pin fan connector on the motherboard enable the 5 fans to operate as pwm fans.  Granted the 5 fans will all operate at the same speed but provided your motherboard can tie the 4 pin fan connector to the cpu temp as the cpu heats up the fans will all cycle up and speed faster.  I have found generally the case is pretty quiet but  when you start a game it will get louder for a bit but I never find it obnoxiously loud.   The argb part of the controller can be set to tie to the motherboard and can be controlled the same as the motherboard lights, but again no separate control of individual lights.   Also it easily fit the noctua nh-d15 ncluding the center fan but due ram clearance I had to use a 120mm fan instead of the 140mm fan it comes with for the fan that is mounted over the memory.   I love the case and for the cost I think is a great value.   My son recently got one as well and agrees it is a great case for the money.

Question 2

Can this case's fans' colours be synced once your motherboard supports aura sync?

Accepted Answer

yes if it 5v not 12v . the fan in the case won't sink with the other antec fan. the fan that come with the case are argb 15 led and the other one you buy  have argb18 led. I found out the hard way. the best way to do it is to buy a 5 pack that are all the same.

Question 3

Can the speed of the 3 pin fans be adjusted via voltage regulation since the cable that goes from the led controller to the mobo is a pwm?

Accepted Answer

Not in the traditional sense, no. PWM regulates voltage to control speed but in a much more efficient manner. Traditional methods use a potentiometer, a pot for short. A pot is simply a variable resistor, acting as a dropping resister to ‘burn’ the extra voltage out of the circuit in the form of heat. It’s very inefficient as the fan circuit would use full power regardless of running speed and slowing them down just generates more heat, which is not what you want. In short, that method of fan control causes the cooling fan to create excessive heat, which then requires more cooling.

PWM uses a digital signal cycling between full voltage a zero voltage. The fan sees the voltage as the average over a period of time between the states. Such as, if it’s at full power 1/2 the time and zero power 1/2 the time, over 60 cycles per second, for 1 second, the fan will see this as 1/2 power, thus 1/2 speed, but little to no extra heat is created. In fact, the small heat any wiring will create just in the wires is reduced also compared to the traditional circuit because power is off 1/2 the time, in this example, so the heat dissipates and doesn’t build as fast or as high. In short the circuit is much more efficient.

OK, all that said, PWM fans in most cases will still function using a pot to control voltage, but there are some that won’t function properly or that will fail prematurely. And they may have difficulty in the speed sensing circuitry that the motherboards use to detect a fan failure.

So I wouldn’t recommend it. Either buy non-PWM fans a swap them out and don’t use the motherboard’s fan power but use a power supply pluggable fan controller,   Or just rely on the more efficient PWM fans.
