I am planning on making my first PC, but I don't how I would be able to connect my fans to my motherboard. I'm planning on getting the 'MSI ProSeries AMD Ryzen B350 DDR4 VR Ready HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (B350M PRO-VDH)' and my case includes 3 preinstalled fans with 3 pin connections. Also my gpu has 2 fans and my cpu has one. I checked some stats for the motherboard and it says it has a 4 pin cpu fan port and 2 systen fan ports. How would I be able to connect all 6 fans to my motherboard so that I can control them with Speedfan? Please tell me if you need more info. Thanks in advance...


 
Solution
The GPU fans are self-contained, self-powered and need no external connection. The CPU cooler fan will connect to the CPU FAN header that all motherboards have. The 3 case fans will plug into the 4-pin SYS FAN headers. (They can be used as 3-pin too) You will have to double-up a pair of case fans with a splitter to have them all work off the board.
