What do I need to control my case fans?

Just got my AX760i with the link software and I see you can also control case fans and lights with some extra kit.

 

I was about to buy a Lamptron fan controller as the fans on the 650D case are annoying.

 

If I wanted to control the fans in my case with the Link software , what hardware do I need.

 

Do I actually need to buy the cooling node and Kit or just the kit?

You'll need the Corsair LINK Kit to control fans, monitor temps, etc with the software

 

Would the AX760i PSU also plug into this or would I still have to connect this by a separate USB plug ? I think I will not have enough USB headers for both.

Thanks

Ok, spent the last hours watching and reading. Have a much better understanding.

 

I guess the last question is :

 

When the computer turns on do I have to wait for the corsair link software to load before it makes all my fans quiet? Motherboard or fan controller would do this from power on.

whats connected to the hydro begin spinning down after about 3 seconds when booting,those on cooling nodes spin down slower and may be in windows until theres a significant difference

their pwm controlled,different than controllers

When my computer first boots usually takes about 15 seconds for all my fans to spin down. I usually have the occasional fan that gets stuck at max rpm but when I fiddle with the rpm setting or mode setting it usually settles down.
