I recently assembled a new PC and it’s performing excellently, but I’m considering securing it more. I have eight fans in total. The Commander Pro is managing all of them. Should I connect some fans directly to the motherboard or keep them on the Corsair Commander Pro? With three fan ports available, I’m unsure whether to move some fans onto the motherboard or leave them connected to the PC case.

If the commander pro is functioning properly and managing all 8 fans accurately, then connecting any of them to the motherboard is unnecessary.

Yeah, I mean if there was a problem or not enough headers on the Commander, that would be different. But if everything is working in a controlled, variable rate, based on thermals, and temps are good everywhere they need to be, then why fix what isn't broken?
