How Many Fans does a ASRock H81M-HDS Support?

HappyHambo · May 14, 2015

Super basic question. My case comes with 2 pre-installed and I am also planning on purchasing two Corsair Ai?r Series A?F120-LED 1?20mm fans and what i'm wondering is if my motherboard will be able to fit all these fans or if i will need a 2-way splitter cable or even a fan controller? I'm really not too sure about the words used to describe the connectors (im a bit of a novice). This is the website for my mobo - http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81M-HDS/?cat=Specifications

Any help is appreciated!

The motherboard has one 3 pin and one 4 pin fan connector. You cn connect the extra fans to the PSU using a provided adapter that goes from 4pin fan to molex or buy a fan controller if you want to be able to control the fan speed.

So does the adapter come with the fans, mobo or psu?

case fans often come with molex adapters included, but not with mobo or PSU.

If they don't, I swear by this:

As said, the fans that come with the case will normally have the adapters. The Corsair fans you are going to buy will have adapters with them as well.

My case can only support 4 fans total so not much need for a 10 port grid. Thanks anyway
