Hello all. A few months ago I built my first PC and I used a antec 302 as my case. The case comes with a 140mm fan mounted on the top-back and a 120mm mounted on the back, there are slots for 2 120mm fans at the front along with positions on the side (though I think those are fairly irrelevant) I was thinking of getting 2 120mm fans for the front but it appears, according to the newegg page, that my mobo, the z87-a only has 3 fan headers so how would I go upon getting 2 more fans in the case?

Get a fan splitter. One header will power 2 fans or more if using a molex, they are only like $2

What's your budget, you only get what you pay for. Especially if you're after silence.

Around 30-35$ though if there is something that justifies a higher price i can wait a bit
