Hey,
so i bought the *title* motherboard for my new build with a Antec p280w case.
Cooling is a huge aspect i want to look into as i also bought the reference 290.
Could someone tell me exactly what i need (adapters) so i can install more fans that are compatible. I know i shouldn't 'overload' my mobo so do i need to buy some fan controller?
The asrock website says my mobo has got:
2 x CPU Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 2 x Chassis Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 1 x 3-pin)
- 1 x Power Fan connector (3-pin)
I think the case comes with 1 standard exhaust fan at the back but has room for 6 more (2 intake at front, 2 middle of the case and 2 at the top (but i think these are for watercooling?))
at the moment im planning on buying the 2 intake front fans and Maybe later on buying the top 2 fans if i need it. (i've seen some people mount the top fans on the outside which pull hot air out of the case)
What should i be looking for? Friends have recommended the 2 front fans to be the corsair sp120 (4pin) as they are quiet.
Any other recommendations? I live in Australia so bear in that mind if you find a fan
thank you!
