can i connect fan in jfp2

Go to solution Solved by NunoLava1998,

In order to add multiple fans, your power supply should come with a couple of Fan -> Molex adapters. You plug your fans into those, and not the motherboard.

i have two fans extra but i dont have connector or adapters

The fans don't go into the JFP ports at all. Those are for your case ports/stuff (headphone port, usb port, microphone port, hard drive light, power button).

The fans go into SYS_FAN1, which is slightly offcenter, in the bottom portion.

Your motherboard should come with a manual, so please do use it.

Only if you like loud noises and dead motherboards. Fans go into fan headers only (or Molex if they have that capability).

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

PSUs have Fan->Molex adapters typically

Correct, but PSUs run fans at full speed all the time unless you add a noise reduction cable to the mix, in which case you're going PSU > Molex/3-pin > Noise reduction cable > fan. PITA cable management, and several additional points of failure in the chain. Unless your fan is quiet at full speed (some 140mm and 200mm fans are) or doesn't have any speed control anyway, you're almost always better off with a splitter or hub.

No, because your system would sound like a 737 spooling up for takeoff if you did that. I can suggest this, however.
