h100i gtx push pull

[SBA233]

Hi,

 

I just got a h100i gtx and i want to configure it in push pull which means 4 fans and i noticed it only has 2 fan headers so i taught id just buy some fan header splitters and ill be fine but then i read somewhere that the cpu fan header on the MB would not be able to give power to 4 fans by itself  now im confused and i have no idea what to do.

There's more than one fan plug on your motherboard....

It is better if all fans pull the air through the radiator, because of dust. If they are pushing air through it, then dust will gather between the fans and the radiator so u have to take it apart to clean it. If they both pull the air, then dust will gather on the other side of the radiator, easy to clean.

 

A year worth of dust that hasn't been cleaned ever can destroy or hinder ur cooling

I think i didnt explain my question well

 

So here it is again i was 4 fans on the radiator and the block has support for 2 fans so  if i put 2 2way splitters in each i have 4 fan compability to the block and the block is powered through the cpu fan header on the mother board so what i want to ask is will it burn out the motherboard cpu fan header or not if so how to i set it up and i want to be able to control the fan speeds of all 4 fans in one interface otherwise i could just plug the other 2 fans via molex to the psu or other fan headers on the motherboard

Does the block require power from usb/molex/sata as well? If so ull be fine, if not look up how much power everything draws and how much ur four pin can deliver.

@SwiftXShadow. Btw how in fuk sake are you going tk install 4 fans to pull through a rad? Are you mental? Op is talking about having fans on both sides of the rad, if they are both pulling he can better safe some money and put no fans on it. Straping one fan on top of another makes no sense either. I agree pull is better than push but what you are saying makes no sense

Thanks for the answer  unfortunately the block only gets power from the motherboard cpu fan header. 

 

 

but i think i just came up with an answer to my problem not sure if it would work tough

this cable on the picture 

 

I connect the single 4pin female to the motherboard and the molex to the psu and connect the 3pin from the block to one of the male 4 pins 

so i guess the block should have all the power it needs then since its connected to the psu

 

then i just use 2 splitters on the v split headers from the block and have 4 fan connection which i connect my fans to.

 

does it sound right?

Yes that would work!

But if u would plug ur pump into ur mobo and ur fans into this and than into ur pump that would be better! just one extra cable instead of 3
