Hello. I have 3 Phanteks T30 Fans and I would like the radiator/fans to be used as intake instead of exhaust... Can I swap out EVGA's fan for the Phanteks or no I must use EVGA's fans? Dont care for RGB as much just wanted better performance. EVGAs fan you can only have the orientation one way as exhaust due to the RGB look

    So long as the fans use the same connector type and the same voltage requirements that should be fine. Just make sure that you keep the original EVGA fans, as they will need to be reinstalled should you require any warranty services.

    Thank you! Could you please tell me if these meet the same voltage requirements as EVGA fans? 
     
    a) Phanteks T30: Operating voltage: 10.2 to 13.2 V.. On the back of the 120M T30 Fan it says 12V - 0.36/0.13/0.05A (not sure what the numbers after 12V mean)
    b) On the back of EVGA fan it says 12V. 0.50A (not 0.05A)
     
    2) If these should work fine my final question is about the connection.. I have 3 Phanteks T30 connected as a daisy chain so I only have 1 4-pin cable that needs to be connected to. Do I need to use EVGA's 4 pin Splitter cable that the CLX came with or can I just connect it directly to the 4-pin cable coming out of EVGA's AIO Cooler?. I attached images so you can see what I mean

    Yes, the output is 12v and supplies up to 0.50a per fan depending on the requirement of the fan, which usually changes based on the speed. It will only output as much current as the fan itself requests. As for connecting them, yes you would want to connect each fan to the cable coming from the cooler, rather than using a splitter and going into a single connection.

    Thank you so much for the help. Looks like I connected everything correctly, except since my fans dont have any RGB.. the RGB cable from EVGA's cable will not be connected to anything. Is that a problem?

    No issues with leaving the RGB cable disconnected.
