Hello,

I've recently purchased a new PC Case (Phanteks Ethoo Pro M) which came with two 4 pin connectors fans. My motherboard is a Asus H170M-Plus and I have been able to locate three 4 pin connectors on it. They are all used, one by the CPU cooler, and the other two by the case fans.

Here's where my problems is : I plan on adding another case fan, also 4 pin connectors, and I also plan on buying a CPU water cooler, which will have the pump connector and two radiator fans, which will also require two 4 pin connectors (not entirely sure, the CPU cooler I will buy is a DeepCool Maelstorm 240T, not planning to OC the CPU)

So my question is :How can I add all these components to my motherboard? Are there any other 4 pin connectors that I have't seen? Or is there a power adapter that I can buy and connect all these fans?

Thank you,

1) Because you have that many fans, you should buy the PWM fan Hub for the case fans, like the Phanteks http://www.phanteks.com/PH-PWHUB.html which is compatible with your Phanteks Ethoo Pro M case. The MB fan_header for the cpu cooler fan.
2) From what I read, you may like to light your PC case, you may consider to buy this NZXT Hue+ https://www.nzxt.com/products/HUE-Plus
3) One more thing, if you don't plan to oc the cpu, may consider other cooler, I don't know how much for the DeepCool Maelstorm 240T.
4) I checked your other thread for building PC. You should buy the 7700K + Z270 MB, or 6700K+ Z170/Z270 MB because the H170M plus is too expensive. If you have to buy the 6700K+ H170, may buy the H270, like...
