Go to solution Solved by PatrikYT_98,

you will need a fan splitter something like this https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-cable-y-splitter-3-fan-pwm-10cm

 

I want buy a SUPERCASE RA08A RAIDER which has 3 fan, but my motherboard (ASROCK H410M-HDV) has only one 4pin fan header. Will i be able to connect all the fans on my pc?

You can get A controller or a splitter.

buy a splitter cable, or a fan hub, if you really want

It is but human, to err, to buy a PSU, akin to dirt,

but fret not, young Padawan, for we will tell you, 

what will become, of that, which you have earned

Problem is, if the fan header is thermostatically controlled, it's going to run all fans at whatever RPM the motherboard thinks is intended for wherever it's getting the temperature readings from.

 

This has always been a problem.

 

This might be fine if you're using an air-cooled system with no radiators.  Otherwise, I would recommend a "smart" fan controller with thermistors that take into consideration the temperature of different parts of the PC.
