I am about to build my first computer and I didn't realize how many fan connectors my motherboard has. It has 1 cpu fan connector and 3 chasis fan connectors. The case I am using is a corsair 200r and it comes with 2 fans, one intake in the front and one exhaust in the back.
I wanted to add two more fans, one intake on the side and one exhaust at the top, but it doesn't look like I will be able to do that. Is there any way to connect 4 case fans to a motherboard that only has 3 case fan connectors? is it advised to do?
If I will only be able to connect one extra fan which one is more important? top exhaust or side intake?
I am not overclocking and I am using an intel i5-6500, but I just want the extra fans to be safe.
