How would all my fans hook up?

chexmixx23 · Aug 12, 2013

A case I plan on getting for a computer build has 4 fans built in, but my mainboard only has 3 chasis fan connectors, forgive me for sounding like a noob, but can I plug 3 fans into the mobo and then one into a molex connector on my psu or should I plug them all into my psu? also, will either the psu or the case come with the necessary cables to do so?

Either configuration should work fine. As far as the cables go, the PSU should definitely have the molex connectors you would need, but the fans may come with only the motherboard connectors. If you let me know what case you're getting, I can tell you for sure.

From what I can tell, 1 of the case fans will have to be connected to the motherboard, but the others all have molex connectors to plug directly into your PSU. Your PSU has several molex plugs, so you should have no problems getting this up and running.
