How many fans can i install with these components?

c1372368 · Dec 12, 2014

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2
PSU: 500W EVGA 80+

I have 2 top mounts ontop of my case with 8 holes on each mount with a distance of 4.5 inch's to 5 inch's
I also have a rear mount with 4 holes that are a distance of around 3.75 inches

The motherboard inside the case is very close to the top mounts, would it even be possible to put new fans on the top mounts?

Do i have enough connectors from my PSU/Motherboard to have 3 fans?

I know i have 3 molex connectors, does every type of fan come with those molex connectors?, if so i would like to connect them directly to the PSU

For the record, fan size is measured in millimeters. Almost all fans come with the molex adapters; the downside to them is that they make your fans run at max speed which can be noisy. It appears your motherboard only has one fan header so if you wanted go that route, you would have to buy a cable splitter. 3 or 4 pin depending on the fans.

It does appear that the adapter will work but keep in mind noise.
