Thank you very much for those answers. I'll be starting the build now, expect a few days to wrap it all up, and we'll see how it goes. Happy Holidays!!!

Hi all. I’m going to be doing some upgrades to my current system involving a new case, fans, and rgb lighting strips. 1) Obsidian 500D RGB 2) H100i RGB platinum – 240m 3) 3 pack of LL120 RGB 4) RGB LED Lighting pro strips I read through the forum just to make sure a there wasn’t answers already given on this. But just want to be sure about two things: 1) I’m going to be top mounting the H100i to the case while upgrading the two fans to the LL120s on it. So, the fans will be blowing air through the radiator and out the top of the case. The case comes with a dust filter for the top and front. Will it be ok to leave the top dust filter on with this setup? Will it be ok with the heat being passed through it with the radiator mounted right there and the hot air traveling through the dust filter and out the case? Will the dust filter be too restrictive for outbound post radiator air flow and cause unnecessary heat buildup or potential melt the dust filter materials itself? 2) Appears to be highly recommended in this thread to not use the commander pro to power the AIO fans (fine for the RGB connections to the hub), but to connect these two LL120 fans power cables to the motherboard headers instead, yes? My mother board is a gigabyte GA-AB350m-D3H. I got no problem with wiring it up like this. But will this cause problems with their speeds not being able to be controlled with the corsair software? Will I have to use the motherboard bios instead to set their speed profiles, or will they still be detected and show up in the corsair software like the other 4 fans installed in the case (3 on the front that came with the case and the 1 I also will install on the rear of the case). Hope that all makes sense. Thank you.
