Are the exhaust fans compatible with my motherboard

MoeSabally

I have never bought an exhaust fan for my pc, since I thought I didn't need one. I am thinking of purchasing this from amazon called "DeepCool FC120 3in1 PC Fans Each 120mm 1800RPM 61.91CFM FDB Computer Case Fans Daisy Chain 5v-3pin ARGB PWM Cooling Fans Quiet Under 28dB(A) for Cases CPU Liquid Coolers and CPU Air Coolers", though pcpartpicker cannot tell me if it it's compatible with my motherboard.

My specs:

Mobo: b450 aorus pro wifi

Cpu: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 black

GPU: EVGA FTW3 Ultra Gaming RTX 3080 12gb

Ram: Ripjaws DDR4 3600mhz 16gb

PSU: Corsair 850w

Monitor: Dell 1440p 144hz

Case: Deepcool Mattrex 55

This is because its not that advanced yet (pc partpicker i mean). Not every tool is perfect. If you have one system fan header free then it'll be fine since those fans are daisy chainable

Message me on discord (bread8669) for more help

Yes it is compatible

Anything that uses a standard 3/4 pin is compatible with your mobo fan headers

 

This is something youd worry about if you wanna buy server fans or something like that which may have proprietary garbage that wont work on your mobo headers (learned this the hard way myself)

I bought the product, however I realized that it was just three fans instead of four. Will purchasing a fourth fan for the back of my pc still work out?

Fourth you cant daisy chain without amperage issue, you can realistically do 3 before you need to plug it in a separate header.

I forgot to mention that I have finished attaching the fans to my pc. Though I will have to return the fourth fan, since  I only needed three. Anyways it's great to have much better airflow.
