Hi

I started putting together my build today to find my motherboard (ga-h110m s2h) only has one 3 pin fan connector (apart from the cpu fan)

I am curious whether anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to get all three of my fans working.

I ran into fan splitters and molex adapters, but I can't really understand how they work and how to determine which adapter i need for my stuff to work

Can the PSU help somehow? (corsair vs550)

it's my first time building a pc sorry if i ask something stupid

I'm not sure if you have 3 case fans or 2 case fans, assuming they're also 3 pin? If so you can use a fan splitter. Something like this 3 way splitter would work, even though it's 4 pin. 4pin headers and connectors are also keyed to be used with 3 pin.

There are molex adapters with y cables for fans both 3 and 4 pin but any molex splitter powered directly from the psu will run at full speed all the time.
