Hi there! First off, I apologize if this is in the wrong place. First time making a post here.
Recently finished building my first PC. Built it in a Corsair Carbide 88R, which came with one 120mm fan already installed right above my GPU. Apparently, the case can support up to four more 120mm fans, but the motherboard I bought (MSI H110m pro-vd) only had one sysfan header, which is where I put the included fan. My PC gets pretty warm during certain games and that's.. Worrying. I stuck with the stock Intel cooler since I won't be overclocking, so I'm not too sure if that's the big issue here, but I figured only having one case fan blowing hot air out wasn't quite cutting it. Getting some proper airflow would certainly help keep things cool, right?
My question is, is there a way I can power four more fans without using my mobo?
My PSU has a molex connector, which I believe I understand can be used to power up some case fans, but, do I need to purchase some adapter that has enough 2/3 pin connectors for the fans?
Is there even such an adapter that has 4 separate connectors?
I had my eyes on this little bundle, in the way of fans - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000O8I474/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I216A2INK742KL&colid=291NNVLWPX8DU
I can give more information if it's needed. Thank you for reading!
