Need some help on Gigabyte B450 Aorus M!!

I have a corsair carbide Spec-01 case witha Gigabyte b450 Aorus M. I was looking ofr some RGB fans for my case. I'm completely new to this stuff and this pc is my first build. 

I can see only 2 fans headers on my motherboard (sys-fan 1 & sys-fan 2) and my case has place for 3 fans. Also the case fan I am looking is Antec spark 120mm rgb ( That's only in my budget :) )

Help pls, can i connect 3 fans to my mbd or not??

You cannot. You need to get fan splitters and connect them that way

Some antec cases have built in RGB ports that has a header running to either a led button on the front or you can house your reset sw. Other than that you could get a antec prizm 120mm set of either 3 fans and 2 led strips or a pack of 5 fans that include this rgb controller if you have a extra sata power plug to spare

You can get cheaper fans on aliexpress, and also pick up some splitters or molex to 4 pin adapters.

But these fans work at 12V... So.. a fan splitter would connect 2 fans with one header right? Will they be able to work at their max output?

I'm newbie plz..

It's not like you need the fan right now, and also it's probably less than 2 weeks to actually get to you.

Just google molex to 3 pin or 4 pin adapter, 4 pins will work with both types of fans.

Yes, but it will run at 100% of it's speed at all times over molex.

And the splitter?

My doubt about the splitter is that will there be enough power available for the fans?

I will use the splitter to connect 2 12V fans to a single 4 pin header. Will they get enough power to run at max speeds?

It should have plenty of power, fans don't draw much power usually.
