Installing Multiple Case Fans

Doppelganger_1 · Jul 29, 2017

I have a Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case and two Corsair ML120 PRO LED CO-9050042-WW 120mm 120mm Premium Magnetic Levitation PWM case fans.

Which cables would I need to purchase to install the fans? Also, I don't have any available inputs on my psu, so will that be a problem?

edit: I have a MSI Pro Series B250 PC Mate Motherboard

Tell us what motherboard you have which will indicate how many fan headers to use

If you dont have any more fan headers left on the motherboard you can do 3 things.

1. Get an fan contoller to mount in the 5,25" bays or some thing.

2. Get a fan hub and power it from the PSU with either a molex or sata power plug. Use 1 fan as the PWM rpm giver in slot 1 and plug rest of the fans you want to add to slot 2, 3, 4, 5,,,,,, etc etc.
You need extension cables if your stock fan cables aint long enough. Like this ones: http://www.performance-pcs.com/modmytoys-4-pin-pwm-female-to-4-pin-female-extension-cable-black-24-sleeved.html

3. Since you have 6 fan headers you can use a PWM fan cable splitter. So you run 2 fans out of 1 fan header for a total of 12 fans with the headers on your motherboard
