Splitters required?

JaegerB · February 22, 2018

Hey,

So I've ordered all my parts for my new PC, and there's one quick question that I have in regards to whether I have enough fan headers. My motherboard is the Asus ROG Strix X370-F, and I'll have it in a H500P (hate all you want). There'll be five fans, the two stock 200mms and 3 120mms that I already have.

In short, my question is do I have enough headers? The specsheet for the motherboards say the following:

1 x CPU Fan connector(s)
1 x CPU OPT Fan connector(s)
3 x Chassis Fan connector(s)
1 x AIO_PUMP connector
1 x W_PUMP+ connector

I see 3 chassis headers, but I have 5 fans. Do I need to buy splitters from my local MSY? Or can I use the pump headers as well? Does the case actually come with power splitters? I know it comes with an RGB splitter.

Thanks in advance,

Jaeger

The H500p looks great if they replace the acrylic with something good (mesh version is great). No hate for the case if you mod the front air input.

I won't be doing that, I think the reason it got shit on by some reviewers is just that it was advertised as a HAF case and turned out to be more average.

Other than that, thanks for the advice. Since I'm picking up my parts in-store I'll ask them there as well and since the splitters are $3 each it couldn't hurt.
