First, as a fellow Jeeper I love the avatar! :supz:

How many pins do your fans have on thier power connector. The need to have 3 pins in order to be controlled by a fan controller (12v positive, negative, and speed control). Make and model of the fans would be helpful too.

Those will work and unless I'm mistaken are the same fans I run in Warmachine with my NZXT Sentry controller.
