Regular fans power

Hello,

 

i have an Asus Rog Strix X570 E - Gaming MO in a Fractal Meshify C case. I have 2 fans that came with the case and i bought 3 Noctua Redux PWM fans - 2x 140mm and 1x 120mm.

I dont have any splitters. 

 

My question...is it ok to plug the fans on different connectors (AIO pump, M.2 fan, water pump+,...)

 

Thank you for your time!

I would avoid AIO_PUMP and W_PUMP+ (because it will be running at full speed at all times), but the others are fine.

That leaves you with 5 headers, including CPU an CPU_OPT. I assume you have a cooler with 1 or more fans too, so you probably need to get a splitter of some kind to install 5+ fans on 5 headers (assuming none of your fans came with a splitter).

Thank you for your response.

 

I have a Dark Rock Pro 4 CPU (2 fans) cooler which came with an Y splitter that i used and connected into CPU_FAN header.One fractal fan on the top is in CPU_OPT header, second fractal fan in the rear is in CHA_FAN1, the front two Noctua 140 mm fans PWM are connected in M.2_FAN and CHA_FAN2.

The 120 mm PWM one (im still waiting...did not came as i expected) will go to the rear and replace the fractal one which will go on the top.

 

What do you think?

Can you recommend/post a link to a splitter that would fit in this configuration?

Check out the aio_pump settings. You can probably just use it as a regular fan header.
