Hi guys,
Im considering a GA-H110M-DS2 ddr4 mobo. But i have a HAF 932 with 5 case fans and moreover i will buy a Corsair h60 pump for cooling. But the mobo has 1 cpu fan header and only 1 system fan header. Now is it possible to connect all the case fans plus h60 and how to connect it ?

My other finalised parts are
CPU - Core i5 6500
GPU - MSI Gaming X rx480 8gb
PSU - Seasonic-s12ii-620

I personally prefer to have a motherboard that can fully a system on its own.

If you have the funds to afford a mid to high-end motherboard that supports multiple system fans and a few advanced features then in the long-run those tend to be a better investment.

Best bet to try and run everything off that one system header would be a y-splitter, but all your fans (including the h60) might be running at half speed.

Honestly with only 1 system fan header I'd recommend a Fan Controller like the NZXT Sentry Mix 2. That way you can have all 5 case fans directly managed through the NZXT controller and have the H60 plugged in to the one system fan header on the motherboard.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry Mix 2 Fan Controller ($29.88 @ OutletPC)
Total: $29.88
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

1) You bet, that controller would work just fine as well.

2) Yes, that is certainly another option. The downside to connecting the fans directly to the PSU is that they will always run at full speed. Many people don't like this in the long-run because with 5 case fans going at full blast your PC will probably sound like a jet engien. If you don't mind the noise though then that would certainly be the most budget-friendly solution.

Okay..But which is a better option out of these two in all aspects

1. A H110m mobo which has 1 Sys fan header and a fan controller to connect all case fans
or
2. A feature rich B150 which also has more Sys_fan headers to connect all case fans
