I have never built a system before. But I have replaced HDD / Ram / Video / Audio cards / reformated drives / reinstalled OS and Apps.
I am concerned that the combo below will NOT power all the fans in the system.
1.) Will it power all the fans?
2.) Do I need an additional fan controller?
3.) Will I need fan cable extensions? 3 or 4 pin cables?
