I'm new to the PC building scene! Help me out?
Going off my build plans (https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FrankRD/saved/xVwYrH), what kind of splitter cables would I need to use all the listed fans? I don't think the PSU comes with enough cables.

Greetings!

You would actually be powering the fans from the motherboard itself, and not the PSU. Your motherboard has 3 case fan connections, which if you just grab some splitter cables (4-pin should do the trick) should have you covered, but with that many fans, you may want to look into a fan hub so that you can plug multiple into one port on the motherboard just to limit the amount of cables in the front of your case.

Hope this helps!

I use fan hubs , these are nice and small and work great.
