So I'm building my first pc when the parts arrive, i have 3 120mm fans at the front of the case and a 140mm at the back. Im really not sure if they all plug into the MoBo or one into the psu. Im absolutely clueless.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170MX-Gaming 5
Fans: 1 x Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition
3 x Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition
Case: Fractal Design Define S


I hope i don't break this build :^]

Plug as many as you can into the headers on the motherboard, you will be able to control them with gigabyte's software. They are most likely 3 pin fans but they fit onto the 4 pin headers.

That motherboard has 3 3 pin system fan headers along the outside edge you can plug into. It also has 2 CPU fan headers, obviously one of them you plug the CPU cooler into but you can connect another fan to the second header.

Using motherboard headers is preferable so the system can control the speed, otherwise plugged to the PSU it runs at max all the time which can be loud.
