i have a msi z97 gaming 7 motherboard.
it has 5 fan headers and my case is a air 540.
the air 540 comes with 3 fans and i have a h110 which has 2 fans.but i have a probelm
the block connected to the cpu need a header so i cant connect one of my fans,.so what do i do.is there anyway i can connect the fan to the psu or something

Connect the h100 per instructions.

You can use splitters on the case fans if you want eg http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23470&cPath=1344

or get a fan controller

i7Baby :

will this work - deepcool fan hub

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

I'd try something externally powered for that many fans eg http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_866

i7Baby :

if i buy a h100i i would have none of these problems right?

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

The H100i takes care of itself - two radiator fans and cpu block/pump. The case fans you could then do using your mobo.

i7Baby :

then i have one more question
should i watercool my asus r9 280x with the nzxt g10 bracket and the water cooler a corsair h110 or h105 or h90

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

No - don't watercool your gpu. Hopefully you've got a Sapphire which won't need it.

i7Baby :

its a asus r9 280x direct cu II top

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

Asus is OK too. No need to watercool gpu's unless they are top end and you're trying to squeeze even more than aircoolers can out of them.

i7Baby :

i was reading temperatures before and after water coiling the gpu
after watercooling very impressive results were obtained

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

The differences are really only with high overclocks. You can get same performance cheaper just by buying a better card to start with.

i7Baby :

i will be overclocking both my cpu and gpu

i7Baby · Jun 8, 2014

But if they overclock enough without watercooling, why do it? And if they don't, why not just get a better gpu?

i7Baby :

and one more thing
is the coolermaster x1 extreme fusion thermal compound good

Not as good as Arctic Circle.
