Xenoman :
Hello,
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/ry7mMp this is my current build. As you can see, I added 2 fans on, along with the 2 fans that come with the case. As this is my first build, and I cant really get much information from the descriptions, can this motherboard have all 4 fans plugged in, along with the rest of the parts? Also, if you do decide to answer this, can you tell me how you figured out how many fans it can support as I'd like to be able to do this by myself in the future if needed.
Thanks in advance for any answers and replies to this.
From what I can see in the top down picture (zoomed in) there is only a CPU_Fan1 header, and I don't see any case fan headers at all, though I would bet there is at least one. That is one of the things you can expect going with a micro-ATX motherboard, they are so tiny and the ports are limited. Most of those motherboards have a link to their newegg webpage, and on newegg they have really nice high resolution top down pictures to see what's on them. You can also sometimes find things like how many fan headers there are by reading the specs on newegg, or the reviews, not always though.
If I may make a suggestion, it would be to change up your build a little. First and foremost with the GPU you are picking I imagine that you plan on gaming, you MUST buy an aftermarket CPU cooler, the stock cooler will not be good enough for anything more than light tasks, like web browsing.
If you can swing it financially, maybe something like this:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LhcJ3C (your same build but with a CPU cooler and a different motherboard, full ATX, plenty of fan headers) Your motherboard is not something you want to skimp on, it's one of the main components.
Also, do you prefer AMD GPU's over Nvidia? Just wondering, either one is fine with me.
