I have 7 fans (all 3 pin) and only 2xcpu/4 pin and 3xheader fans/4pin.

the 2x cpu fans are for the heatsink so they are fine.

the back fan has a header by it so its good.

just above the back fans header (140mm) there is another that I need a 3 pin u adapter for the top two 120mm fans, and same for the front two 140mm fans.

I am so confused because I've never ordered fan splitter or adapters. Also I have heard that you could run a molex to 3pin fan y?

I need some help and should be an easy question I think.


OH !!!! and also .... any chance to get the wires in corsair baby blue or straight black to match my case?

Thanks in advance.
 
Before you buy the Y splitter for the fans, I recommend to make sure the fan's specification like the AMP, because some of MB can output up to 3 amps, and not all of them can, so your fan has to be less than 1.5 amps if you use the Y splitter otherwise you know what will come next, you may be kill the MB.
So you can buy the 3pin to 4pin fan adapter to connect two of them to the PSU, or buy the fan controller.
