Case compatibility with motherboard

[Zuhair Ishraque]

Specs:

CPU: Intel i3-8100

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050

Motherboard: GigaByte B360M DS3H

PSU: Seasonic S12II 520w Bronze

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5 in, 500gb Dell (came with original Dell OptiPlex 790)

 

I had originally gotten a Dell OptiPlex 790 Mid-Tower with different hardware components inside. I replaced all of them over time and got better parts. I'm planning on getting a new case next to put all my parts in. However, I'm not sure how to check if my motherboard fan headers can be split to supply all my fans. My motherboard has 3 fan headers. I will have 5 fans total: 1 CPU fan, 4 case fans (3 in the front, 1 in the rear). I am looking at this case currently: https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Computer-Tempered-Cooling-Management/dp/B07J63FBZJ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=rosewill+v500&qid=1574113405&s=electronics&sr=1-1

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can use fan splitters to make up the extra slack. 

 

I personally use these, but I have an odd case with 4 intake fans on the side panel so you may find it more suitable to get a 2 or 3 fan splitter instead.

How can I know if the fan header isn't being overused?

You'd be very hard pressed to do that with 99% of fans on the market. A fan header is ~1a, and the average case fan is 0.1-0.3 amps.

To SenKa's point, each fan should also have the amp rating marked on the fan hub, just in case you cant find it on the website or it's a case included fan so there's no stats listed

 

Most fan headers on motherboards are rated to 1A, so as a rule of thumb, no more than three fans to a single fan header if you're not sure about a fan's Amp rating.
