Motherboard only has one fan header?

[Ihobonu3]

Hello i was looking at this budget motherboard set and it looks like it has only 1 fan header and that one is for the cpu 

Please provide help

Get a fan controller, you can control lots of fans with only one header that way.

you can:

- get a fan splitter, but only connect up to 3 fans with unpowered splitter

- get a powered fan splitter, to control more than 3 fans

- get a internal USB fan controller

 

do take note if your fan is DC or PWM and buy the appropriate splitter

 

powered PWM splitter wont split DC signal afaik

and what would be a good powered fan splitter

cant tell if the case fans are DC or PWM

hmm... i know NZXT, and silverstone made some, havent used any of those though

 

if u dont care about the fan speed you could also look at molex to fan adapters, though fans may be noisy since running full speed

you can also get fan hub that arent controller by motherboard, u set a speed and they'll run at that speed regardless of CPU load

so a fan hub that connects to the power supply and has nothing to do with the motherboard?

yeap

some allows you to adjust the voltages to the fans so u can control them to be less noisy

so i should look for a 3 fan hub 

because i can connect the cpu fan to the motherboard because it has one 4 pin thing

what is the difference between DC or PWM?

since your case has RGB fans, idk if they come with fan controller as well

some case do

i checked its PWM

it says it has an controller and remote included 

So do i have to buy anything for the fans 

do i still need to buy a hub?

if it has a controller and remote, then you probably dont need a hub

unless it's only RGB hub

so i should just get it and then check if i need the hub?

by it u mean the case? then yea

no point buying something you potentially wont need

thanks that was a really good experience
