I have the Asus z97-p. My case (Rosewill Blackhawk) comes with 5 fans. (3 LED). The mobo has a cpu fan connector and 2 chassis fan connectors..how do i go about getting the other 3 fans connected/ do i need to go out and buy something?

From newegg Rosewill Blackhawk case video review, I can see only the rear fan comes with 3pin fan connector, you can put it into the MB fan connector head, the rest ( two front, one side, and one top ) fans come with the 4 pin molex connector http://www.ocp.com/product_search/images/products/photo... so you can connector those to the PSU. You don't need buy the other adapter if your PSU has enough 4 pin molex.

Yes, you do. Because those fans have that 4 pin molex connector only so that they have to be in full speed. Only the 4pin or 3pin one can be controlled by asus software http://www.overclockers.com/forums/attachment.php?attac... That is your mean.

the 4 other fans have 4 pin molex as well as 3 pin, can i interconnect the 4 molex and plug the 3 pin in mobo? but the mobo has a 4 pin fan connector..will i still not be able to control fan speed?

maybe molex is the wrong word..each of the 4 fans come with a 4 pin power connector along with a 3 pin molex...does that sound better?
