So im building a pc and I realised that my mobo supports 1 cpu fan header but my cpu cooler is the noctua nh d14 which had two fans and my case includes 3 fans and im buying 3 extra aftermarket fans, but the motherboard only supports 3 system fan headers. I would really appreciate it if someone helps me

Thx

yes you can use a molex adapter to run the case fans. the only potential problem would be they would run @ 100% speed and it could be noisy. you may want to consider a fan contoller that fits inn the 51/2" bay, like a DVD drive, and the molex plugs into that.

the D14 ought to have a Y-Split Cable for the fans . . no?
