Hello guys i was building my new PC (first time) and I found that the Mobo that I bought (MSI B450M-A PRO MAX) only have "SYS_FAN1" and "CPU_FAN".

 

My case is the NXZT 510, and it has 2 fans, how can i solve this problem? Do you think its better for me to buy a fan controller or a splitter? I don't think I will put more fans, only the 2 that comes with the case, which solution you think its better? 

 

Thanks

2 fans generally isn't going to be super great and I'd probably throw another 1 or 2 in there. Especially for that case

What CPU are you going to pair it with?

That motherboard is pretty...weak.... 3-phase VRM for the CPU, and NO heatsink cooling on said VRMs.

Not recommended for anything Ryzen 3600X and up...

 

If you are going to add even more fans, then a controller is the way to go.

 

Also, NZXT H510 is a case with some pretty bad airlfow design...

Would STRONGLY recommend another case if possible.
