Hi
I'm going to purchase the case (in the title) soon which comes with two front 140mm and one back 140mm but i'm confused about how to install them and then an extra fan below and two fans above.
Where do i plug them all in?
I am going to put my existing 3 speed fans in the front of the case which are powered by Molex then move the two new case 140mm one up to the top while installing a new 120mm at the bottom of the case.
This is my motherboard:

It has a 3 pin fan header next to the CPU fan header which has the back case fan plugged in then i have two CHA-FAN2's headers and one CHA-FAN1 header on the board which are all 4 pin headers.
I was originally going to get this:
https://www.scan.co.uk/products/akasa-pwm-fan-splitter-supports-2-pwm-fans-from-a-single-motherboard-pwm-header
So to plug the top fans together into one of the CHA-FAN 2 headers then plug the single 120mm fan at the bottom of the case into the CHA-FAN 1 at the bottom of the board as its closes to the fan.
But after researching that if your not careful with which pins and voltages you use you can blow your fan header and even the board.
Could someone please help me out here, thanks.
