4 fans with Micro ATX mobo

Yopinator · May 21, 2014

I am new to the world of pc building and this is my firist build. I already have a Rosewill Challenger mid case with 3 fans in it and I need to find an inexpensive motherboard that will allow me to use those 3 fans + the heatsync. It needs AM3+ as the CPU I will be using is an AMD fx 6300.

CPU: AMD fx 6300
PSU: Rosewill 630w Green series
GPU: AMD r7 260x

and i will be using a wireless card in one pci slot

any help is appreciated, thanks!

Ok. I am happy to help. First, any color preferences? I will be finding an ASUS or ASRock motherboard for you, the two best brands in terms of reliability. Do you live anywhere that Newegg will not ship?

Im in Arizona so Newegg will ship to me and color isnt a big deal but black, white, and blue will fit my case and other parts nicely

Hmm. So here is what I have found. No MATX motherboard supports 4 fans out of the box, so you are left with several options. #1, a separate fan controller. The advantage of this is that you can still control fan speed without needing 4 pin fans. #2, a PWM splitter, which will allow you to control speed, assuming you have PWM fans (4 pin).

they are 4 pin fans so either one works, the main thing is price haha

Update: I looked for a fan controller. Will this work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2970RX3971
