How Can I connect 15 case Fans

Jorce · Jun 8, 2015

Hello, I'm not the guy who cares about noise. Unlikely I care about putting my Pc at lowest temps possible. I have Aerocool PSU and an Asus P8Z77M-Pro + i5-2500k etc, which this MOBO is only have 1CPU fan header + 3 Chassis Fan header. I got 15 Case fan 120mm rated at 12v.

Adding 15 case fans, if you even had a case that could accommodate that many, which I am unware of there being any, would do you no good. 5-6 good case fans and a high end air or liquid cooler will provide all the cooling you could ever need unless you're shooting for record overclocks in which case you need to use something besides air or water cooling. You can however split those three case fan headers to support 6 case fans using these:

And if your motherboard has an optional CPU fan header in addition to the primary one, you can also use that for the rear exhaust fan, making 7 total fan connections. Anything beyond that would just be ridiculous.

Agreed. 15 fans isn't a great idea. You'd probably end up with 15 pockets of air. Air cooling works by flowing air from one end to another. Not just running as many fans as you can.

Also consider bigger fans spinning faster. Then you don't need 15 fans.

OK. thank you bro for advise now I realize that using 15 case fans is ridiculous. I just bought an Gigabyte GTX 770 WF OC and I'm about to pickup an Corsair H110 from South Africa which I think it will do the job. My CPU stick at 85 degrees whenever I renderize CAD works or playing some games, I'm living in Mozambique and we are in a winter season but even though the ambient temps remain at 25 degree as low. Sorry for poor English. God bless you.

Yeah, it's no problem. We're glad to help. What I WOULD do , is make sure all the locations in your case that WILL accept a fan, have a fan. I'm pretty sure it's not 15 of them though. Heh. That's funny. 15 case fans. Hah. Anyhow, yeah, just populate the fan locations you do have and set the fan profiles to either standard or high performance in the BIOS, IF your bios is equipped with user settings for the fan profiles. If you need more fan headers, use something like what I linked to above to split the 3 system headers into six connections. That H100 will be much better than the stock cooler.

Good luck.

Thank you for advise I'll try to solve it by accommodating an Corsair H110 which I know it will decrease the temps of CPU as best solution.

If you are hitting 85C under load with the stock fan then I'm sure you'll see a HUGE improvement with the H100. Stock fans can only just barely handle the heat from the CPU. Bad case or hot locations can make them fail. I think you'll be really happy with the cooling upgrade.

^^^^^Exactly right.

Ok thanks. You were clear as glass.
