DS3 3.3 and additional FANs?

[mildten]

I got DS3 3.3. Could you help me what I have to do if I need more than 3 fans? I used up all 3 FAN plugs, and I need two more plug for HDD cooler etc..
What can I do? I cannot find any empty slot on my MB.

Thank you!

I'm assuming you're talking about the 3-pin MB headers? Well, if you've used them all up, then there's not much else you can do other than to buy some 3-pin to 4-pin power supply adapters:

Here's a great site for misc. stuff like that.

You're welcome, and good luck with your build.

I used these Y-cables.

Group similar fans together as you will only measure the speed of one fan, but if they are identical, you know they run at the same RPM.
