Hello man

What controller is it? There is no way o connect that many fans to the motherboard. You will need a dedicated controller with a MASSIVE mount of fans that mac be connected.

Probably about 2~6 fans.

If you connect too many fans to the motherboard fan connectors, you will burn out the plugs. That is irreparable, and the MOBO company will not pay for the replacement board. Each MOBO fan header can take about 10-15W MAX!
