Sorry. I've updated the part list now. It's the MSI B550i Gaming Edge. Happy to consider other B550 or X570 boards if that makes my life easier!

Hi all, I'm planning our my first build, which will be ITX, but I have a silly question. Fans! I have 5 fans in my build, buy my motherboard only has two headers. So I can get Y-splitters, but then I don't know which fans should be linked in terms of control slaving? It seems like it makes sense for the CPU cooler to have it's own control, but then that would leave just one header for the other 4 fans? How can I sort this out? Here's my part picker list: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/gmYtDx For awareness, here's my goal/inspiration: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/4m8MnQ Thank you Budget (including currency): £1,500 ish, but can flex a lot Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily gaming (Total War, Civ, WoW. I'm more of a 4x and RTS man) Other details: Buying everything fresh. Monitor will be my old 1080p 60hz one for a while, but I'll upgrade later to 1440p (I am waiting on a new desk)
