Hi Guys,

As i'm having a Sharkoon Rex8 as a case, i feel like it's not giving enough cooling or airflow, and it's not really that silent. Now i have the question, is the corsair 400c, or the nzxt S340 better for noise cancelling and airflow?
Also, i want to use all of the fan holes there are, but my motherboard only supports 2 pwm fans.
How can i take care of that, without overvolting my system?
Mobo :https://www.alternate.be/GIGABYTE/GA-B250M-D2V-socket-1151-moederbord/html/product/1315223?

Also i want to order it from the same website i linked my mobo from.

So if your CPU fan on your CPU cooler is connected to CPU FAN connector, then yes you only have 1 connector you can split to 2 fans. If you need more you need molex adaptors like I linked above, or you need to get a fan controller.

And don't buy a liquid cooler, its a huge waste of money, you can't overclock with that motherboard. And thats the ONLY reason to buy such a cooler.

No such thing as too much.

I prefer 140mm fans they move more air and are quieter. Smaller fans are always louder.

But will it be possible, with only 2 splitters of 2 , on 2 mobo connectors? That only gives 4? Or should i just leave front open for water cooled (in future i wanna order a H110 or something)

Oh I didn't realize the board has no other fan headers like a 3 pin. I would just do 4 fans then. If you want more fans you'll need a fan controller. Or something like this to connect it direct to the PSU https://smile.amazon.com/5-Pack-BuyCheapCables-Molex-Power-Adapter/dp/B00M7GXZWK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1490283410&sr=8-7&keywords=molex+fan+adapter

Now according to your boards specs it has a CPU fan and a System Fan header. Where is your CPU fan connected to if not there?

The CPU fan pin is on the CPU fan connector on mobo, at this moment a small fan (included on case) is on the sys_fan i guess.. So that means i only have 1 Sys_fan pin over, so i can only take 1 splitter?
