Im buying a B150M Mortar mobo along with a Deepcool Kendomen TI Red case to go along with it. I live in an area/country where heat is actually a problem (weather-wise) and think I require at least 4 of the 5 fans to work in the case.

Link to B150M Mortar: here
Link to Deepcool Kendomen: here

The mobo has a SysFan connector & 2x 4-pin connectors to connect 2 case fans thereby leaving out 3 case fans which cannot be connected unless we do something about it.

While I've found this ( Deepcool Fan Hubs Control) fan hub extender on Amazon where I live, I have the following questions and would appreciate any help!

1. I was thinking of connecting the rear case fan to 1 slot on the mobo and using the extender to connect the remaining 4 case fans. Is this wise to do for the mobo?

2.Would it be wiser to use a different setup like connecting fans to the PSU instead (Corsair VS 550w with 4x4-pin peripherals)

3. Im ready to sacrifice the use of 1 of the top mounted fans on the case. Would connecting 3 fans to the fan extender hub to the mobo slot be ok for the mobo?

Thanks in advance!

It should not damage your motherboard. The worst thing that could happen is that the fans don't get enough power and don't spin as fast as they should. This should only be the case if you have some high powered fans.

Would it not result in running too much stuff out of 1 socket on the mobo maybe resulting in a burnout?
