Case Fans...

[XxwonderbredxX]

Hey guys!

 

I want to add more case fans in my case. I have two fans in right now that came with the case.

 

I don't know how to add more fans, like what do I have to do? I don't know anything about adding fans to cases..

 

 

Here's my case: http://www.aerocool.us/strikex/strikex_gt_black.html

Here's my MOBO: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Extreme4/?cat=Specifications

Here's the four fans I want to add. Two of each..

R4s are louder then they are rated as are sickle flows. But they are case fans so just controll them. All the need to do if move air.

Have these in blue as rad fans. Pretty quiet and look nice. I run them at about 1/2 speed. Gran the 140 mm for your 140 slots. Stick with one color too. Unless its like white led and some other color it will look weird or messy. Most colors put together make a brown haha

okay, no R4's.

And one color? :'( I'll keep it all red then.

Since I want four fans, what kind of spiliters do I need? Because my MOBO has "3 x Chassis Fan connectors (1 x 4-pin, 2 x 3-pin)" fAnd I'm sure that I used the 2 3-pin connectors. So is there like a controller or something that I can plug all the fans into using one connector slot.. Or something like this... http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g34/c17/s424/list/p1/Bay_Devices-Fan_Controllers-Multi_Fan_Ports-Page1.html

You can use that which is great if the fans were low noise/speed at 12v (or whatever the connector is running at) but if that is say full speed for the fan then it will be loud.

I would either get a 3 pin splitter (2 3pin to 3pin then to motherboard header) or a controller.

Also the 3 pin fans can connect to the 4 pin headers on your mobo. The 4th fan pin is just for pwm control which is what the board uses to control fans, but speed fan can control 3 pins just fine.
